E: 23/05 mcvities dunk or not win gadgets (code needed)

**Kara_Thrace**

sorry cheznal, i dont know. Try contacting the guy at the isp? think his name is edwin mutton. I am still waiting for my dsi but doubtful it is coming now because mcvities are being really funny about this comp. I think they forget who their customers are

Does anyone have an email address which I can use to contact McVities? I've received an email this morning stating that they cannot honour one of the ebook reader prizes that I won due to the packet having the wrong barcode/time code. I sent 2 packets in with the claim as I couldn't remember which one I entered (it was 2 o'clock in the morning ) the time codes were only 1 second different, so was confuzzled as to which one was which.

I rang them this morning but don't think I'm going to get anywhere

Can anyone help? I'm gutted as I was gonna give one of them to my mam...

They will post you coupons if you click on the link to see how to print and then select Don't have a printer. HTH x

I'm not condoning it but what's to stop people from giving their used pack to someone else and them using it 5 times and passing it on etc. As it seems you are able to use the same code 5 times as long as it's someone else who is putting their name/address in (i found this out when me and my bf both had the same code on our packs. we were both able to enter the same code 5 times each but he was putting his address in and i was putting mine in). Hope that makes sense.

I guess it's cos t&c's state that no code sharing is allowed. If they even suspect it, then I dunno what that could mean for the rest of the competition. I've seen some competitions pulled cos people have not adhered to the rules and t&c's, so I don't think anyone would want to risk it. The bonkers about biscuits competition was a success for us compers, but not for mcvities themselves, cos they didn't state in their t&c's that we couldn't share, or we could only enter 5 times a day each. Back then, it was unlimitted entry really lol. But now, mcvities seemed to have learned from their mistakes, I guess giving everyone a fair chance.

I went into Asda with my biccie voucher today and it scanned as 50p so that's all they would discount so no free biccies for me :mad:

Hi cheznal,
when I got in touch at the start of this comp when it wouldn't accept bar codes, I contacted them through United biscuits at the bottom of the comps page. They did email me back with an address to return packets to united biscuits. When I tried codes the next day, they worked so I didn't send off but I have thrown address away. Try emailing the email on bottom of page in United biscuits and quote 'Mcvities dunkornot comp'. HTH

i posted an email i recieved form them earlier on in this thread, with details of addy etc to send packs to if no time code or such like, might have had the addy to contact them on it, i cant remember and didint keep the email myself.

it says in the jaffa cakes terms that anyone suspected of codesharing will be disqualified and claims invalidated..or something to that effect. i cant remember if it said same for this one specifically but looked like same terms to me lol

also for all we know they are reading these threads, so id warn watch what you say in public re sharing, if all it takes to be barred from winning is a suspicion you are doing so.
