  • I come in peace - don't shoot me.

    First of all, I've done good out of this comp - so no sour grapes here. I just want to address a couple of points that have been made.

    Firstly - the "letting go" of £50 wins. I'm not sitting in judgement, but if you know you've won and can't claim another £50, wouldn't it be fairer to state that when asking for more codes? It's not good to read that multi winners are still taking codes and then dropping the £50's because they've reached their quota. The poor sap who "thought" they'd win with you has nothing to show for their "sharing" have they?

    I'm not sure I agree entirely with blaming McVities. Yes they changed the rules, but now being aware of the rules, you can't really twist them again to suit your needs - can you?

    If you entered any another competition and the rules said one win per household, you wouldn't try and blag your way through to three wins per household cos you know what the rules stipulated.


    Secondly - people not wanting to take your lists. Yes in the beginning is was great everyone helped everyone, but the longer it goes on people will sit back and let you do the work. I've won enough in my name, so it would be easier to pass my codes to another, let them do the work and I get half. I haven't done that, and I wouldn't but you must see the benefit of letting others take the strain whilst they get on with their lives, even possibly entering other comps (and winning) cos they've tied you up over here.

    Also if people ask for codes, you send yours and they see you've already won a load (and even possibly dropping £50s) they might well think "well you've won enough already, why should I work for your benefit?

    As I said, I'm not judging anyone, just trying to put across a different angle to some of the points raised.

  • Does anyone else get the feeling that McVities have stopped wins for those who have been doing the comp since the start? Ive been bonking solidly since Friday night with absolutely nothing and Im not happy - wondering whether to give up but I want the biggie so much so I dont have to worry about Christmas!!
