does anyone think that swapping codes is breaking the rules? and that is why mcvities are getting a bit upset?

does anyone think that the way everyone here is swapping codes is breaking the rules? doesnt it say in the T&Cs that you should buy a packet of biscuits to get the codes? maybe thats why mcvities are getting a bit upset? that non of you are buying the winning packet? just curious

Yeah me too! they have totally messed this up and upset alot of people so there sales will go down rather than up, from our side of things anyway!

Maybe Mcvities should explain it a bit better then if thats the problem they're just causing confusion at the moment..

I know people that were buying biccies everyday but have stopped now so they will actually be selling less... I've bought more mcvities in 1 week than I would usually buy in a year!!

:j:jtotally agree!!!!!

It is stupid. I work in a food production factory and we make 60 of each product per minute. If we are using 2 lines, we'd be making 120 and so on and so on. I doubt the BB dates would be changed dailey, so hundreds of biscuits with the same time codes on would be printed. And I doubt everyone who buys them, enters the comp. They should have done unique codes like xoxlauraxox said.

no, sometimes I swear it says unlucky you STILL havent won anything good. Running out of room to store all these sodding biscuits too, I bought the bogofs and half prices ones but will donate some packs somewhere, I dont want to be getting fat from them. Lets just hope the people I donate them too dont use the codes cos they might get accused of not paying for them :rotfl:

I don't think they see it like that, because we weren't breaking the rules.

I think they look at us and think that we are not the type of people that they were hoping would win their prizes. I think they were hoping that Mr or Mrs average shopper would be winning, but what they don't seem to realise is that the likelyhood of Mr and Mrs average shopping buying extra biscuits to enter their draw is slim. Most members of the general public if you asked them if they were going to enter this comp would say no - because no one ever wins at these things.

And that is if they even notice that there is a comp on the packet. I asked around at work (80 people) if they bought McVities biscuits, most don't but of those that have done recently all of them said they hadn't even noticed there was a competition on the packet.

McVities = clueless.

dooby. i dont know. i agree most of joe public dont bother. but i still think that megga code swapping is not fair play. i have not read the T&CS but i think swapping is not what mcvities wanted.
