    I originally had 12 cans, no luck. Just been and bought 24 cans. Good thing I don't mind pepsi, but only in small amounts. I am running out of thing to decant the cans into though.

    I just tend to twist the ring pull 180 degrees, so that it is facing the wrong way and can't open the can. The I use a knife to lever up the ring pull so that I can read the code underneath.

    The only trouble is that I now have a couple of carrier bags full of cans of Pepsi - and nowhere to put them! :rotfl:

    :hello: Everyone,

    I hope you win a phone today.I havent been lucky and won one since I put 24 codes in.I have admited defeat already with this.I also would never dream of doing random codes especially as there is a postal route you could do for this competition,this really is depriving someone of a win if you have used their code randomly.I would never ever do that as that would be so dishonest and I would feel so guilty too,thats my take on this.If I am so desparate to win one I would do postal route which I did last week and sent in 5 entries on separate postcards to the address given on the first post of this thread on page 1.Use that and then you will feel ok and wont have to do random codes.That way you are consience free and wont be depriving anyone who has brought pepsi.

    i agree tulip not fair at all !!
    a couple of times i have i put the code in wrong and its said invalid code
    so i would guess it wouldnt be very easy to get a right code by guessig ....i might be wrong ,but im not trying
    Z2009 wins 14k :)2010 wins 26k:)

    I don't think it would be that easy. I had a ringpull where the code was slightly mangled, and I had to guess one of the characters (could have been either a K or an X). It went through, but I didn't get a LEM. It was the only draw I didn't get one for. I then put the same code through having re-guessed the dodgy character, and hey presto, a LEM 10 minutes later. Just because the code is accepted at the initial stage doesn't mean that it will get through the system. So all you naughty code guessers out there...you may be wasting your time!
    2009 wins - 4 x iPod Nano, 1 x iPhone, 6 x Nokia 5800, £400 Magnum, Peroni laptop case, lots of mars balls!

    2010 wins - 4 x Flip Camcorder
    Thanks to all posters!:beer:

    Ok, I have a question. For those of you who have won, did you enter just one code at a time, send a whole batch or what? I have been doing 1 at a time (when the kids let me) but wonder if I would be better spending a few minutes and entering like 5 or 10 codes?

    I entered one code for which I didn't get a LEM (the only one I didn't receive) and thought I'd try again in another draw but it said it had already been redeemed.

    I've just been doing them 1 at a time as I drink them but I think some have won the other way too :confused:

    The phone I won Saturday just turned up :j :j
