    You were talking about this last night but I wasn't here so i'll say it now :D

    I won £50 before they changed the T&C's and i've noticed that it's really slow for me and for my OH, he hasn't won at all.

    I hope they haven't blocked us from winning any more cos i've bought chuff loads of biscuits. My local Tescos think i've got some sort of biscuit fetish and I don't think it's worth being labelled as a freak for £50. A grand maybe, but not £50.

    Is there anyone on here who it's been running really slow for that has won or am I just wasting my time?

    It isn't just you, i won 50 and 100 before the the rules changed so i didn't even break those and it still runs soooo slooooowwwwww for me in my address. My hubby hasn't won at all and even his name does too. But if i use my brothers address and do his codes for him;) it's super quick! I reckon it's down to they know your putting in zillions of codes from that address(not that i have mind)!:rolleyes: not how many times you've won(maybe). x:confused:

    We can only guess as to why I suppose. I didn't think it could have been the how many codes with me, I didn't think i'd put that many in and I have barely tried at all since the rules changed.

    I claimed quite early on so my thought was that once they received the actual claim then they might do something manually to the tech at their end (with the claimants address) rather than relying on the computer automatically blocking the wins. It is just a thought though.

    I don't know how the comp will work but I'd have guessed that it will have been set up so that when we get a winning email, they also get a winners email to a specially set up address so that they just receive the 50 e-mails per day making it easy for them to check the details at their end when we make a claim. I would have thought that the unlucky tries would have fallen through a black hole. I'm only guessing though.
