Competitions Discussion Thread Part 13

josie301

people do win from myoffers - but they are few and far between and generate so much spam it's not worth the hassle - they are posted here with warnings so it's up to the individual whether to enter or not.

Goodtoknow & the ipc comps do have winners - just take a look in iwiwiw

Sorry, I am not to sure where to post this!:o

Has anybody won anything from Myoffers.co.uk?

Some of the bigger name magazines are offering what seems like great competitions, but when you click on them they take you through to MyOffers.co.uk.

I seem to remember signing up years ago, but got fed up of all the tick box choices and offers you had to go through before your "entry" and I never heard of anybody winning.

The other competitions I would love to know if anybody has one is Good to know
http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/competitions/1

no never won! i joined them a good few years ago now and entered religiously for ages with never a win, or any knowledge of any winners.

i had a bit of a fight last year to get the to remove my details form all their mailing lists they send out to companies to spam, despite having always said no to their do you want a call form stuff even back when i was new to the internet lol that they had my details again (i had deleted account and unsubscribed form everything) became apparent when i started getting calls on my land line they had been given my details because i entered a myoffers comp...which i havent given out for anything like that in years and years, i always used my mobile instead and now have a payg for comping or spam lol

avoid like the plague lol

good to know ive been entering their comps on here fore the past year and never had any hassle or spam as a result. i think i saw someone on i won i won say they had won form them once, but i dont often look in that child forum
ive had a few wins form other ipc media promotions though

its just another name for sub forum in a way
the main forum for competitions is competitions time but technically comp. time is a sub forum of the mse forums so game over, i won and regulars are child forums of comps time, but are often seen referred to as sub forums of comp time

in search they are referred to as child forums...there is an option to tick to include or exclude them in the search.

Thanks both, I'd seen it mentioned before and never knew what it was.

I've noticed something that a lot of people seem do to when posting comps on this site.
They copy the URL straight from an email, which sometimes include something like "?utm_source=xxxx&utm_medium=xxx etc.

You should really avoid including this in the links you post, as websites rely on this information to track the success of their email campaigns.

I work in the web development industry, so I am fully aware on how this can affect sites metrics.


An example of this is on this post:
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3023376
The link they posted was
http://www.yourdiscovery.com/web/singaporeair/competition/?utm_source=Communicator&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=Untitled10&utm_campaign=WIN%20a%20trip%20for%202%20on%20the%20A380!%20PLUS%20first%20look%20at%20UK%20Premiere,%20Walking%20the%20Amazon.


when
http://www.yourdiscovery.com/web/singaporeair/competition/ is all that was needed.



Just a little tip.

Posted a comp earlier which has now been closed. First and last time I will post one - people are just getting so rude on here!:mad:

Yes, it may be a purchase of more than £1.50, but there is a No Purchase Neccessary route for Northern Ireland!

Just closed without even a pm or a query - jeez - says it all about this site now.

Have been a member a long time and have to say it has really changed recently - manners cost nothing!

i dont think u should be getting so upset about it, it happens all the time for various reasons maybe posted in the wrong place.... dont take it to heart BG,s dont have the time to pm and query every comp that is posted
