    Having a look at the T&C's for this I think the only way someone in our house could make a claim would be if they sat and used a pen until it was empty the put it in a safe place until the 30 days were up. If it was in normal use the plastic bit out of the end would be missing or it would be chewed or cracked or missing the lid and it seems that the pens have to be pristine but empty. They've been very clever with their T&C's not to make it too easy. Well done to anyone who's emptied a pen already. Having read through the T&C's I didn't think it was clear if an individual could send mor than 1 pen in. Can anyone point me in the right direction to where it says you can do more than one if you're not a company. Happy scribbling.

    I have just phoned Bic and got through to customer services and they had no clue. She did say that people could enter as many times as they liked but she wasn't sure about anything else. I am waiting for a call from the marketing team for full clarification.

    So that's less than minimum wage then basically!


    Not to mention the Repetitive Strain injuries we are all going to be suffering from, for continuously scribbling for 20 odd plus hours :eek:

    I think its a great idea so am looking forward to finding a promotional pack and getting the whole family involved in the challenge! Might get a few cute pictures too!

    I too am interested to see if we can send in ten or just one. Eagerly await the results of your phone call Kwaichi!

    I still haven't had a call back. I just called them again and just through to voicemail. Hopefully they are not going to ignore me!
