I rec'd a bounceback on the daily mail bag comp, the monday one, shame as u only have the monday to enter.

xxxxxxx

I did too, I know hundreds entered and only a couple of us have commented on the bounced email, but it did have a different address to all of the other Daily Mail comps. The one given was [EMAIL="bag@dmail.co.uk"]bag@dmail.co.uk[/EMAIL] and they're usually [EMAIL="bag@dmail.entries.co.uk"]bag@dmail.entries.co.uk[/EMAIL] I'm wondering if others have bounced back and gone straight to SPAM and weren't noticed.

Awww that could mean no-one won it or, someone who figured out the error lol! xxx I might be pedantic and email them to state that!

I'd not had a bounceback, so I checked my sent emails, I'd sent it to the other address (the one with entries in), I didn't even notice the one on the post was any different, but I'm prompted every week with the usual email address so just sent it to that without realising! (I don't use outlook or anything so I didn't click the email in the post)

I wonder if other people did the same thing, so not everyone sent it to the address without entries in?

Barnabysue

Possibly, I could kick myself because I spotted it was different when I entered because like you, the other address came up and I changed it!!! Must make certain next time to select the right one.

Maybe the OP copied it wrong Toni, not blaming them, it happens, but don't want you to complain if that was the case.

I've just checked on another site out of interest and they'd got it with the entries bit in, so it could be a mistype, but I guess the person on that site could have noticed it was different and put the usual email on instead, or maybe they contacted Daily Mail to ask? Really not sure!

True Sue xxx Ahhh well plenty more comps out there! xxxx

Barnabysue

Pleeeenty more, too many at this end of the month! Good Luck all.

I'm put off entering competitions because i get a large number of emails telling me that I've won this or that, only to click on the link and find that I haven't won at all

so it feels like there's little point me entering anything as I'll ignore the email that actually tells me I've won

is there a system whereby i can filter out all the rubbish you have won emails as oposed to the proper ones?

thanks

If you look back on the old comps discussion thread for around 10th July, the same thing was discussed back then. HTH.
