    morning all!

    am gutted about the new t&c's but as i have not had a win since 1 september i assume i am able to carry on until i get a further win so if anyone has codes i can try for them the please pm me.

    natty x

    yip seems like all wins before that all ok just off 1st September! xxx

    Thing is they are not losing out as we are buying much more biscuits then we would ever need and biscuits we would never purchase eg hobnobs
    Just back into comping past few months to help me get over rubbish in life.... won Hotpoint fridge freezer, soda stream
  • Anyone intending to complain to McVities and to the ISP:

    Please mention that:

    the change in T&C's was made covertly in that it was not brought to the attention of entrants and that with 5 entries per code it would not be reasonable to expect entrants to re-read the T&C's every time they enter.

    clause 5 of the T&C's "Only 5 entries per code, per person, per address will be permitted" absolutely IMPLIES that after 5 entries have been made the code can be used again by another person and another and so on as long as each entrant only enters the code 5 times.

    you feel you have been duped into buying and consuming more McVities products than you would otherwise have intended by the promise of their T&C's which have since been changed.


    The email address for the ISP (Instutute of Sales Promotion) is [EMAIL="complaints@isp.org.uk"]complaints@isp.org.uk[/EMAIL] and in the Magnum comp at least the man to contact was Edwin Mutton.


    I've found an email address for McVities: [EMAIL="consumerservices@biscuits.com"]consumerservices@biscuits.com[/EMAIL]

    So let's all email them with our concerns, cc'ed to ISP!!

    I won, I won, I won!
    This is so poor Mcvities are pants such bad organisation surely the rules can't be changed once a promotion starts this should have been stated from the beginning because if it had of been most of us wouldn't have spent so much money on buying so many biscuits, if they can change their minds then so should we be allowed to.....
    I want my cupboard full of unopened biscuits refunded ... Mr poxy McVitie:rotfl:
    Surely they must pay us all up until 01 sept.
    I changed from Fox's biscuits for this promotion, I won't trust Mcvities again.
    THE HARD WORK
    PUTS YOU
    WHERE
    THE GOOD LUCK
    CAN FIND YOU

    I asked the same question, did you win before the 1st?

    yes i have had 3 x 50 and 1 x 100 but all before 1st september.
  • Before promo started I had switched to the value brand, and I would never have cupboard full of biscuits, like I have now, as difficult to stick to eating 1/day only.

    What I don't get is that the 2 terms contradict themselves : 1/day and 1/household for whole promo?

    Till now I had had one major win at my address, other little one was under someone else, so just tried now and shared £50 with Isabelle, so now I can't enter under my name, is this right? did not even have a go at my own biscuits I bought couple of days ago. I can try OH as different name, although he lives with me?

    Well I am going to try again rest of codes given to me by Isabelle, Rab+ ones I got yesterday under OH's details if that's OK to do it under another person.
  • I'm gonna carry on has I havent won a major either x
    :j It doesn't get any better than this :j

    Do you remember on the indiano jones comp, it was one of each prize per person but if someone won the same prize we had a system in place?
    Maybe regarding lists and stuff we should *cough * ....

  • :confused:if i won £100 before 1st sep does this mean I cant win a major again.

    Good Luck to all the newbies and people yet to win

    I'm not sure hun x
