Sorry if this has been asked before but just wanted to check. Companies like Asda, Zavvi and Sendit all tend to run exactly the same competitions. These companies are all part of The Hut group so I wondered whether we were able to enter on more than one site, or if it was similar to the Sky Sports-Planet Rugby situation where you can only enter on one?

i.e. Could this one be posted from Sendit or is it the same as the one posted here from Asda?

I'm not sure twotimes.With the Sky comps I emailed them & got a nice reply back.Since then we have just had one post for the range of sites.
Maybe you could email one of the firms involved?

I have never entered any of them as I see myoffers etc as a spam generator.I have 45,000 unopened emails so I do not need any more.Each to their own & maybe some win?

I also noticed today while entering a comp on allaboutyou site that there was a comp that linked to myoffers too, so I guess there's lots of websites using affiliates now.

Tickbox is the holy grail of survey sites, people do win and the prizes r generally totally brilliant, check loquax out, there have been quite a few winners on thier lists over the years, I've also seen a few msers win xxxx

Some have won after a handful of surveys, some have done a few hundred, i'm on around 600 surveys and nada but wont give up as it is a genuine survey site with mega prizes xxxxxx

Slightly more than a year ago I won a Samsung 37" TV. It took more than 1100 surveys before winning, but some people win pretty quickly.

The surveys are quick to complete, definitely worth doing.

Ah well never mind - one oversight in the many many many dupes posted, no - one is perfect.

There are hundreds of dupes posted and so long as there is a note saying it is a dupe and a link to the original given then it's no biggie!

Too much back biting and nit picking going on for this to be as much fun as it used to be imo.

I agree that no one is perfect Josie, and we've all made mistakes over the years (And still do!), but I do hope that you are not referring to me as being a 'back biting' type of person.

Weeowen and I have exchanged many PMs in the past, and I have high regard for him as a forum member. He has contributed lots to the forum since becoming a member, as I like to think that I and many others have too.

Yes, things have changed immensely over the last year or so, and it has now become very competative on the comps board.

Agreed that the board isn't as much fun as it used to be, but that appears to me to be for the reasons which I've just stated (Do please correct me if I'm wrong) Nothing stays the same in this life, and we do all have to accept it even if we are digging our heels in trying to stop it! I personally hate change myself, but there we are, it is just the way things seem to be nowadays.

HTH, and there are no hard feeling on my part here.

I was just making a request, and apologise if it came across wrongly...

No no, not at all MD - my last comment was simply a general statement.

But definitely having been here since the early days of the comps board in 2006 there have been changes and not all good ones.

Competitiveness is good, sometimes it's just the attitude of fellow 'compers' stinks (again not aimed at anyone just an observation).

Although out of the thousands of users fortunately there are only a handful who seem to be involved - shame that it is forcing genuine people away from posting and interacting within the board.

But all public forums have their own problems and this is still one of the best I have come across.

Good luck to you and all fellow comping folks x

Not sure if this is the best place to ask for advice but I recieved a WEM on 6th September,saying I've won a baby carseat from Gizmodad,replied with my address details so the man could arrange delivery that week,heard nothing so sent an email.Got reply stating the man had become a father for 2nd time and he'd sort delivery last weekend,still nothing.I've sent yet another email but have not yet recieved a reply,it says on the GIZMODAD website that I've won the prize,just dont know what to do next.Please help. I Was so chuffed with this win,my most useful to date.I am currently 6 months pregnant with my 5th child.I'm trying to be patient and understand very well the demands of family life but feel this is extremely unprofessional and that I'm being fobbed off.
If anyone can suggest anything or give me any advice I 'd be very greatful.Thanks.

I think that in this instance patience is the virtue,there may be have been complications with the pregnancy and it might be a difficult time for them

I note that there facebook and twitter account also hasn't been updated recently this may also suggest that they may have had problems

it could also be that they have not yet received the prize from there sponsors Mothercare

my advice would be to be patient and wait another 2 weeks and if you still haven't received the prize or gained contact by then contact them again

congratulations on winning the prize and also for becoming a mother for the 5th time

P:S I have often received an email asking for address details after a win with a promise to post but have waited 3-4 weeks for the prize to arrive due to complications with the sponsor or the agency responsible for sending the prize out, so I wouldn't worry to much as I am sure you will receive your prize soon

Best of Luck
