I get the feeling that those 'randomly' picked are the ones that sign up for everything, have all the boxes ticked for newsletters/junkmail/email etc. Anyone that is discerning about what they want to be associated with, gets left out of the prize giving. This is my theory.

My hubby luckily won 2 quizzes on the same day (his only wins BTW;)) and he doesn't sign up for anything!! I can just about get him to sit here and follow the links. Never mind actually join up for things.

Sorry to blow a hole in your theory

Damn you to hell! i'm stuck at 420, and don't want to sign up to newsletters as i cannot be !!!!d to delete from my email all the time.

PS: the reason for my theory was that i used to work in marketing for volvo, where a comp was being run for customers. I was asked to pick a winner out of a hat, i did so, the boss checked it against a spreadsheet (that held details of their spending with volvo, account history etc) and then asked me to pick again, and this was repeated til i picked an 'appropriate' winner.

Does anyone know what's happening re the Mansion points?

I just went on to Pigsback to have a look at the Ts and Cs and theMansion link is there, but I got an error message when I tried to go and have a look

I know some have had their points, but I haven't as yet :rolleyes:

They were sent an incomplete file, which is why some have got their points and some have not.

They are trying to deal with it as quickly as possible apparantly.

Not sure about why there is an error, i have not checked but i'll check and let you know if i get through ok as it may be your pc?


**edit** Mansion seems to have been taken off full stop!

That is shocking!! :eek:


I would have thought it would be better to give the prize to somebody who didn't spend as much really though as it may encourage them to spend more? Seems pointless to have a competition, for a customer who has spent moe than others, i thought it may be more a marketing exercise which would be more suited to boosting other customers spending. At least i know not to enter comps with volvo now if i haven't spent a lot lol.:rotfl:

This is for commercial customers, like haulage companies etc. But that marketing dept was run by a tool, so not surprising. Obviously, companies deem some customers more important than others.

Anyway, when do CT appear on PB? Randomly, and you need to check through regularly?

I won a prize the other day, after entering every quiz every day for about 15 months (since PB started in GB), apart from a couple of weeks' holidays.

Are you saying that because I won I am not "discerning"?

If I thought you meant it, I'd be very insulted!!

tsharp

If i win something, i will shut up, lol!

You are a very brave person to publish that story. I hope you have a good legal team!
