Competitions Discussion Thread Part 11

hi, ISP is ... there's a piece about it in the comping guide if it helps PCL ..
#6

The Institute of Sales Promotions [EMAIL="complaints@isp.org.uk"]complaints@isp.org.uk[/EMAIL] lay down the guidelines which comp organisors must follow. MSE Compers have reported that they are very good at investigating dodgy comps & missing prizes with one chap in particular [EMAIL="edwinm@isp.org.uk"]Edwin Mutton[/EMAIL], being an absolute star.

Morning all,

I sm hoping someone can help with and end date query. Since all of the April posts have been removed from here I am struggling to sort by end date. I have been doing it the correct way but the first results that now appear are dated 01/06.

Anyone else having this problem? :rotfl:

NO Because 01 is before 02 03 and so on

Hi!

If you have the following set:
Sort by: Thread Title
From: Beginninhg
Sort Order: Ascending

Just scroll through the 01/06 (May lst now over and deleted) till you get to about page 10/11 - there you will see the start of comps for 02/05.
When you have finished going though these - scroll thru for another couple of pages and you will find 03/05 and so on.

Hope this helps.

they called me on the 24th feb and said i had won one with various prizes they needed sizes for and that is/was the one that had the same prizes. i was daft though (was my first win call) and didnt take name or ask for a phone number (was withheld) or exact details other than the things that stuck in my head when i was done being gobsmacked. she said she would call back th efollowing week to arrange delivery when the ordered stuff in my sizes came in (the rest having no choice of sizing). however that comp supposedly hadnt finished the day they called me. i kinda suspect they realised their mistake and thats why they never got back to me. never had an eamil or letter confirming it either.

whats the isp?

Hi pcl xxx

I've done a letter asking for a winners list xxx Lets see what that says, hopefully that could shed some light on it.

It might be worth emailing the Grazia editor and expressing your utter disappointment and bewilderment at the way you have been treated.

Might be worth adding you were very excited at hearing of win etc and now feel very deflated and embarrassed.

Include that as you have been left in such an awkward position if you don't hear back within 7 working days you will pass this to the ISP to follow up on your behalf/

Hopefully they might respond and if u do have to go to the ISP at least u have exhausted every angle. Out of 5 wins i have chased up recently 4 responded within days of an email like this, the last responded with prize once isp was involved.

David davies is the chap in charge at Grazia uk xx email and details on this link

Hi guys

Just meant to ask a question re the Glamour Magazine comp, does the link change at all? I am not sure if I am entering the right day, is it the same link provided in the first day?

I wish they would notify the winners daily it would be more fun than waiting 4 weeks :eek:to know!:D

toniq

Linked stayed the same the last few years iirc, blackmidnight!!! phoebemail was brill 2008 was brill for this me and sparky won loads and loads of this! still wear the boots i won!!! xxxxxx

Why don't we suggest on their FB page that they notify the winners daily, it really shouldn't be that much work, should it? it's only a matter of sending an email?? Lol you can tell am very impatient, they have lots of hair stuff

T the boots you won were from Cosmopolitan as far as I remember x
I wish they do fashion giveaway (as oposed to make up)
