    Not sure if this is the correct place to post, but can someone tell me where to get free postcards, I used to get them in my showcase cinema, but going last night, i've been advised that the company producing them, is no longer doing so.

    Would it be the same people that produce them for vue/odeon etc.

    Does anyone else know where to find them now/

    I won a prize last week for a hotel stay for 4, tickets to a couple of events and a £200 voucher for a meal at a restaurant, however, when we got to the hotel, the meal voucher was for £80

    Don't want to sound like a whinger, but can they do this?

    Email the promoter and say that you believed the voucher was for £200 (if you've got a link which shows this include it in the email) and see what they say. Explain your dissappointment etc.. They may just send you a new voucher or refund you the price of the meal.. there's no harm in asking them why you only got £80.
    2008: £783.12 - 2009: £6,401.15 - 2010: £4,230.61 - 2011: £8720 - 2012: £2,041.89
    2013: £134.96

    Hi there :-)

    Has anyone heard of the Prize Draw Centre online? Based in Southampton.
    You pay about five pounds to eight pounds a month to them and they they enter in you in many comps (about 200 a month I think) to increase your chances of winning. Good for busy people.
    Is it a con at all does anyone know? I know that amount of money isn't a lot to some but wondered if anyone had any experiences with them?

    Thanks :j

    Sounds a con to me, but not sure what everyone else thinks. Sounds too good to be true.
    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T

    200 a month is !!!!!! all?!!! I easily enter 100 a day and thats with working full time. Total rip off IMHO.
    2009 Wins = £833
    2010 Wins = £6,597
    2011 Wins = £7,083

    £2,012 in 2012 = £450/£2,012
    20 in 2012 = 4/20

    A rip off in so many ways

    Loads of comps forbid 3rd party and bulk entries anyway.

    I think it's a rip off 200 a month is nothing and I don't think it would be as exciting as when you enter yourself

    Just thought would drop in, not going to be spending as much time on here now, things to do, places to go etc:D Will still be lurking about here and there but not going to be posting comps other than the Real People magazine one I do each week as well as the online puzzler ones:D Thought would give you a heads up then someone else can check the sites and post them so others dont miss out:D The ones I have checked on a regular basis are: Empire, For Parents By Parents, Totz2teens, The Baby Website, Baby Expert, Card Making and Papercraft, GMTV

    Good luck all:D
