Competitions Discussion Thread Part 11

It's not really just instant wins I'm after it's competitions where there is a little game or something involved, I really enjoyed doing the asos one and was just wondering if there was anything similar floating around at the moment that anyone knows of and was just sharing the ones I know of incase like me people enjoy doing the ones with a bit of a game involved as filling in form after form can be a bit boring.

The best way to find them is search for the keywords instant or play game and check the dailies thread regularly x

Hi all! Just a quick question - I have a really common name, which makes things difficult for me when looking at winners lists, and with Facebook comps, etc. The other week I thought i'd won something on FB as the company had just posted 'Well done [my name]!' but of course it wasnt me!

I've been thinking of putting something more unique down when I enter comps, but then I've also read in some T&Cs that you can get disqualified for using a fake name (not sure how theyd know it was fake...) - do you think it'd be alright if I put my middle name initial between my first name & surname? Sorry if this sounds really pathetic, I'm just sick of seeing my name on winners lists but it not being me

I use a shortened version of my middle name for comping plus a wrong DOB & have won a few times from here.
There is even a spelling error in my comping postal address to help me spot comp related mail.

I wonder if someone could confirm that the competitions on the GMTV website (currently for a TV, Samsung Netbook and Apple iPad) are available to enter as many times as you wish?

Because I have entered a few times for each, I know I've read it's 'unlimited' but I just wanted to clarify and ask if there is a limit on number of entries?

(By the way weeowen67, some very clever comping gimmicks you've got there, I like it!)

Thanks! I think I might use my middle name, though knowing my luck that'll still be really common

i would just make sure that it is a name that would be accepted by your bank account in case of a nice big winning cheque! You wouldn't want a fake name then...

Hi thanks for the idea but please don't do this as it would waste even more of our time.When one BG has merged it the other two would then go through the message as if they had to only to find it's already done hence wasting their time:)

playing catch up.....i was thinking more a way that all 3 of you could see each pm and then once its sorted whoever sorted it deletes or thanks it or something it so other two can no longer see it/can see it has been dealt with. there is no way to send a pm to 3 people at once atm and tbh nm wasting more of your time i cba to waste more of my time sending to each of you.

i know on phpbb forums there is a means of one pm going to all mods, but once one mod reads it it shows as a read post so the other mods know it is being dealt with.....but thats the limit of my knowledge........thats more what i was trying to say than send 3 individual pms.

I have recently started to do the competitions but am still quite new to the site. I have won a few things over the past few weeks and would like to list them at the bottom of my page like everyone else. Can someone tell me how i do this please.

Thanks x
