    i just spoke to someone so i know where i stand if you win whatever amount its automaticly claimed so you can only win 1 minor and 1 major.
    but you cant skip a win if that makes sense as you have already put your details in
    its very confussing
    im not sure what happens to the £50 if i win again (as its automaticly claimed)
    do you think it could exclude me from the competition
    or will they allow me to win £50 and the £50 and no higher amount
    if you get me ive confussed myself

    The way I think it would work is that their "random winner computer" knows that you have won £50 which is a minor prize so doesn't tell you or award you another minor prize, it goes to the next eligible person and you would only know if you won a major prize.

    Been on phone to them this morning and if you have two £50 wins the lady said they may have to honour both if you keep the ref nos for info,shes checking for sure and getting back to me later.

    I've already had to let 1 £50 go so that couldn't be true.
    You must still be eligible to win both prizes so I really dont know how they're gonna work it x
    :j It doesn't get any better than this :j

    yeh i was thinking that but will it exclude you from winning again minor or major?
    so everyone who has recently won 2x£50 may get 2 £50 or may get one and keep trying for major
    its all to confussing lol
    hubby won other night which now allows m to win as its not allocated to per household

    wish mcvities would sort this out!!
    if you won another £50 how can they say its an automatic claim if you cant claim it as youve already won that amount? where will the money go then? when it should rightfully be yours if you won and have the packet to prove it! theyve ballsed up big time and shouldnt be allowed to get away with this..
    if people have the codes and win then they should be allowed to keep the prize :mad: they are pethetic and need to be alot clearer on this

    if you have won a £50 its automatic you cant cancel a win as your details are already on the site when you enter if that makes sense

    i said to the lady if hubby wins another £50 and does not claim it she said it will automaticly be claimed it cant be cancelled

    so all those getting the £50s over and over possibly will only get 1 and im not sure where thats leaves them for the major



    p.s i hate this comp

    they are just taking the pi** out of us all
    ive emailed them and im going to contact the ISP as i dont think that they are running this competition fairly how can you win another £50 with a code from a packet of buiscuits THAT WE HAVE BOUGHT! and not be alowed to claim it,

    its messed up bigtime the lady said the t&cs had been changed to make it fairer so more people win rather than 1 person winning 6 times ect
    but still its wierd how you cant cancel a claim as its already claimed
    so where does that leave us on claiming the biggie where do the little amounts go?
