Competitions Discussion Thread Part 13

elsien

Takes me all my time to enter comps using just one email addy - not sure how on earth you're managing it with 4.
It does seem a bit much to be honest - maybe other people do it, but it doesn't feel right to me.

As long as they aren't limited to one per household (in which you can still do two) I don't see why promoters should have any problems with your multiple entries.

Personally I'm like elsien and only have time to enter once (apart from the ITV comps) but don't bregrudge people who enter several times.

We have a lot of help from RoboForm We are a family of 4 but i am just doing most of the comp entries on behalf of us all So hopefully no real harm done I'm sure i arent alone in this lol

I'm 99% sure you aren't alone

I also rank RoboForm as one of the best pieces of software available, I enter at least two-thirds more of competitions since I installed it (probably about 6 months ago but have been comping for nearly two and half years :eek:)

RoboForm is a true godsend!! Years ago it wasnt worthy of even a mention but now its truly fab! You still have 2 be a little careful on some of the forms but in the main it saves so much time

wow, you really are a busy bee, seems a bit excessive to me but its up to you. I just Use my own details for all comps and i'm not doing too bad on the winning stakes. I do however enter my partners details too for the itv comps though!!:j

Comping for 11 years me & :eek:. When I last looked into downloading Roboform they wanted money/subscription (this was a long time ago tho). I have a shortkey program now which is a lifesaver! Once you remember all the shortcuts, I wizz thru all the comps.

No your not alone with using different addresses, emails etc. I find it very time consuming at times though.

Have u ever won anything on the ITV comps?

i tend to answer the biggie comps with mine and my hubbys information but bookmark the page for his entry and go back to it later in the week. i also sometimes enter for my mam but again i book mark it and go back to it at another separate time. i tend to enter all for my hubby in one day and then enter the ones for my mother all in a day about 5 days later. the thing is if 3 share a computer and all have different information and not entered within a minute of each other then i cant see why you cant enter like this. i am however, trying to persuade my mother to enter more herself and am book marking the itv ones for her to enter and the biggie ones as she has more time than me to enter them herself. With MSE the answers are all there, so she does not have to look for them.

for the benefit of people who are ahead of themselves and thus will miss all these there are a bunch of comps reposted by http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/member.php?u=38812 with an end date of 05/03 which were posted this morning with todays end date (since that is the correct end date) but as usual got moved to game over when that was done earlier today

this is one case where being ahead of yourself would not be any help whatsoever as would have missed them with todays end date by doing those yesterday and would have missed tomorrows end date by doing them early today :rotfl:

whats the solution for this sort of thing anyone? how can these be posted without being moved too early and without being missed if you dont comp by newly posted?
