"Purely Creative" magazine scratch card. How to claim

Eden0032

Has anybody received anything back from Purely Creative yet? I know I won't get anything back for a while, but perhaps someone else has?

Hi there, new to the forum, I made an account just to post on this thread so I really appreciate the feedback. I've always saved these cards with the idea that the postal entry was a way to beat them at their own game but never investigated how to do it before.

The cards I currently have a closing date of 31/12/15

I know it is too late to send off for these due to the slow response time but what is the minimum length before closing you all would recommend? i.e. if I found some in net months magazines with an april date will it get processed in time? should I only send for ones with 3 months or more? 6?

also the "1 in 3" chance, does this mean some symbols are just not listed on the prize lists and they are the 2 in 3? Every card I've had always had symbols listed on the prize lists you have posted here. If the symbols are listed on a prize list is it still 1 in 3 from that point?

Thanks so much for all your advice!

Check the lists on this thread to see if you have winning symbols. If your symbols are listed, you win that prize. Symbols not listed= no prize (that's the 1 in 3 bit)

I would definitely postal claim on the cards closing 31/12/2015 - sending out using a 1st class stamp, back on a 2nd. Their replies to you are generally sent out at the end of a month so you just have time if you can post this week. But only if you have winning symbols, and you like the sound of the prize.

Keep track of what cards you have, when you sent for the claim number, and when you sent the card off to claim the prize. That way you will know when to chase.

Today I got a Lucky Bag scratchcard with the reference M643. Expiry 30/4/16.
From the previous M643 prize list I've not got a cash winner but think it's worth an SASE to see if the prize winning symbols have changed.
Will report back.

I just got the same reference on cards I got in a FourFourTwo magazine, have you heard back from them yet?

Thought I'd give it a shot before posting myself.

It's still sitting in an envelope in my letter rack waiting to be posted

I have a card with code m657 and expires 30/04/16 and I have got 3 matching storms and 2 matching bells does anyone know what they are please

The prize list for that card hasn't been posted on here.

So if you're willing to gamble a couple of stamps, do the postal claim route where you will be supplied with a full prize list.

I should be getting a reply any time soon about M656B as its been nearly a whole month since initially posting off for a claim form.

When it arrives, I will update with the prize list.

Parasol - £2,000 cash

Tree or Surfer or Bat - Case Di Silveri Watch

3 Matching Symbols:

Kettle or Clock or Present - £1,000,000 cash
Horse - Four Seasons Break in New York
Palm Tree - £100,000 cash
Snowflake - 5,200 miles of taxi rides
Strawberry - Autocruise Motorhome (Peugeot Rhythm 130 BHP (2-Berth))

Lion - One year cinema pass for 2
Cherry - £1.000 cash

Balloon or Pencil or Robin - Week at exclusive Andalucian beach resort



My scratchcard has 2 trees and 3 pencils, so I have won a Casa Di Silveri Watch and/or a week at the beach resort (doesn't include travel).

The watch will be just a cheap watch, but once you have a claim number it's free to send the card so could be worth it. The holiday is a no go for me - doesn't include travel and probably some horrible hotel in a dodgy area!

Hi all, thank you for this really useful thread!

I have a M656C card, closing date 30/04/16.

Will this card and its prizes be the same as Eden 0032's M656B card?
