My Offers

Could a few people email MyOffers and ask them (as I have done) when they intend to publish winners. The last winners were in January. Unless they think nobody visits the site, why do they feel they can be so slack?

    This site appears to be a joke, I have been a member for 8 years, have completed almost all the comp entries and have never won a thing, and speaking to friends who are also members, they have never won either, so we have all given up.

    No thanks button so thanks anyway. They really are a waste of space, and treat the members like mushrooms, know what I mean.

    It may be that the site is used by so many people that the possibility of winning something is really low, but why destroy your own reputation by repeatedly failing to publish winners lists or do very basic PR. I think they recently published a picture of a winner, it was a vicar!!! WHAT A LAUGH!!

  • The site is a waste of time. All they do is send you a load of spam and pass your details onto other companies to do the same.

    yes I found that out, and stopped doing their comps after not winning anything for a year, no-one else I knew won anything either :mad:

    And they plague you with emails about !!!!!!!

    And I've noticed that a lot of comps advertised on say, for example Tiscali, or even the This is Scotland (or wherever) sites are actually run by MyOffers.

    Anyone reading this before joining them - don't bother!
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.

    Was a member for ages but got nothing but spam (not even winning the eating kind!). Yes most of the comps were on other sites. Complete waste time of this and avoid it...

    MyOffers to the rescue!
    Lucky MyOffers winner David Hood must have thanked his lucky stars when he got the email telling him he’d won a state of the art Nokia 8800 mobile phone.

    Earlier that day his daughter had ruined her mobile phone by putting it into the washing machine in a pair of trousers and his son, also on the same day, had dropped and smashed his mobile which he’d got for Christmas. Having checked out the phone on the net David was “stunned by the 8800’s qualities and features”. It was clearly David’s day for mobile phones!

    All that’s left to decide is who gets the phone!


    Yeah, that sounds likely :rotfl:

    Cheers Chrissie, the picture is SMASHING.

    I think that successful competing probably relies on just dealing directly with companies, Would it be an idea to start a rogues gallery thread???

    MyOffers
    !!!!!!

    are the first three that come to mind. If anyone knows anyone who won from these sites, please let us know

    I've given up on My Offers as well, pretty sure it was down to them that I got a phonecall from Studio 64 and Kleeneze (who seemed most upset when I said I wasn't interested as you have to pay for the catalogues that you have to hand out!!).
