  • Many Radio stations appear to run the same competitions under 'BAUER'. Am I right in thinking although you are only allowed one entry per radio station, you can enter the same competition through as many radio stations that are running it?
  • For those of you who have won competitions and had them delivered without a telephone call or email do the arrive with your normal post or special delivery??

    I'm really hoping that one day something will just appear! :D

    Positive thinking!

    It is one entry per competition across all of the Bauer sites, you can not enter the same comp on each radio site

    Best of Luck :)

    Just had a call from and extremely rude person at Scottish Power following a competition entry I apparently made last week for £3000. Asked for a quotation so I said I wasn't the bill payer and they had a go at me for not reading the terms and conditions properly and said I was disqualified.

    I've had calls before from the same people from other draws but they've always been very polite when I've explained I'm not the bill payer. Can anyone point me in the direction of which comp this might be from so I can check the terms and conditions again? I can't find any recent ones.

    p.s. be warned, these idiots might be calling you next!

    This is the number if you want to avoid: 01415676202

    These types of comps usually say that you will be contacted to give you a quote so you could have just said that you pay £30pcm with whoever and they leave you alone as they can't match or better it.
    If at first you don't succeed try, try, try again.

    I have just had the same or a different rude Scotiish Power person on the phone. I complained I had already been phoned yesterday and he said I shouldn' enter Scottish Power Comps if I didn't want to be phoned. I know I did enter it by mistake but really angry at their attitude. I told them to get my name off their list at once so we shall see.

  • Does anyone think just putting a mobile number instead of a landline telephone number puts you at a disadvantage over people who do put in a landline number? After all I guess the people hosting competitions want landline numbers to pass on to call centres and they would no doubt rather have a landline number to ring.

    although this is in the wrong place why should it matter?
