    Tesco (dumfries) had them for half price last week I picked up a promotional pack of 10 pens for £1.50.

    Are these the clear bic pens or yellow ones?

    They are blank ink pens in a yellow promotional pack of 10 pens, you cant miss the packs as they have the £10 challenge bic sign on the front of the packet.

    I am trying to empty 1 pen but everytime i put it down, someone in the house walks of with it and loses it so i have to start again.

    Also has anyone sent theirs of as a business, ive had a look at the T&C's but i cant figure out exactly what the business ones are, I was wondering if i'd qualify as im self employed??? Would i just have to put my business name as my own name?

    Dont want to waste the time scribbling 10 pens to find out i dont qualify.
    :TIs thankful to those who have shared their :T
    :T fortune with those less fortunate :T
    :T than themselves - you know who you are!

    What constitutes a business is very subjective. I am planning on sending of 10, just putting my name and seeing how it goes. If they only pay out on one I will query it an convince them I am a business.

    I went into tesco today (hampton peterborough) and the promo packs were 1/3 off £3 down to £2 (multiple coloured ink packs only). I bought 2 packs and they scanned at the original price, so with took them to CS and got DTD so ended up getting them for £1 per pack. :j

    I managed to empty a pen in 27 minutes. Which was a lot faster than i though cos i thought it would take me several hours.

    DF is currently trying to beat my time.

    I still have to wait 2 weeks before i can send mine off, but if i spot anymore im gonna grab them and get them sent to my mums house.

    Any non-corporate manage to fight off repetitve wrist strain and send off all ten empty pens and get a cheque for £100?

    Ive read every post on this thread but still cant find the answer , can an individual send in 10 pens at once at claim £100?

    If they cant i was looking at the "im entering with my colleagues" pdf form and all it says is company name and address so couldnt you just use your home address and pretend you own a business which you run from your house ?

    anyone tried it ?

    The reason you haven't found the answer is because nobody has done it yet. All I can say is suck it and see :)

    I've emailed and asked Bic as their terms and conditions aren't very clear; I haven't had a reply though...
    Have you emptied one pen yet? Personally I've only done one and I don't think I'll manage 10 lol. (I envy those who only needed 27min to empty one, it took me hours and hours) Just waiting another week 'til I can send off my form.
