    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.


    Tbh, if Mcvities have barred certain houses from entering they should have the courtesy to inform them, (so people dont waste more money on buy more packs) they have peoples email addys.
    Think it's about time the comping fairy remembered where I am! lol

    I don't think McVitites have banned anyone I just think addresses which have been used over hundreds of times take longer to check the database which checks if codes have been entered the 5 times....
  • Morning all, good luck for today.

    Surely some of us will be recieveing something from McVities today - fingers crossed!

    Ok I have about an hour to spare but I am off out for the day ... any codes going?
  • My OH recieved a cheque today!!!!! it doesn't say which win it relates to though so probably gonna have to wait till it all comes through.

    It wasnt one of my first wins though as I didnt start entering in matts name straight away
    Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

  • Well done Laura.

    I was hoping it would come in order so I would know which cheque related to which win, but it doesnt then ? ~Pants :mad:

    Guess I'll be waiting a full 28 days from last packet I sent off to get all the cheques in then dish the winnings out based on that

    Is that what everyone else is doing?
