This is 'powered by myoffers.co.uk' which has been flagged as likely to generate spam, so it's up to you whether you enter or not - see below posts.

There is a cash alternative of £2,250. The winner will have a choice of the following prize alternatives: £3,000 cash to spend in Debenhams or £3,000 paid off debts or student loan, or a 50 inch Samsung Plasma TV or £3,000 to spend at Harveys furniture store or £3,000 to spend at B&Q.

T & C's also say 'This promotion may be conducted over several different websites simultaneously' so sorry if this has already been posted somewhere. I did search the forum and nothing came up.

Good luck! :T

    11 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?
    There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.

    2minutedraw
    4FreeUK
    ABCWins
    ActiveYou
    Clash Club/Clash media
    Club La Costa
    Consumer Lifestyles
    Consumer Opinions
    Craftomatic Beds (Comps appear to be just a way to get a salesman into your home, especially if vulnerable/alone)
    Emailinform
    EZ Prize Giveaway
    Fair Exchange
    GetMeATicket
    GetYourBillsPaid
    GreatUKsurveys
    Guide2Win
    InstantPrizeDraw
    Just-Rewards
    Lingscars
    MyConsumer
    MyFamilyUK
    MyOffers
    NoizeMakesEnemies (Care - your profile with name, address, phone number & email appear to be on show with no way to make it private!!)
    Nuts (comps.nuts.co.uk - comps are now run by the data collecting company Data Media & Research Ltd.)
    OffersClick
    Opinioniser
    Optimax (phone calls, letters & emails!)
    PenicuUK.com (linked to Weatherseal below)
    PickMeUpMagazine (comps.PickMeUpMagazine.co.uk - Care: the magazine comps seem to be unaffected, but any comps which direct to this site are run by the data collecting company Data Media & Research Ltd)
    Premier Christian Radio (lots of postal junk mail even when you opt out of future contact)
    Prize4U
    Prizes.UK
    Plum Offers
    PrizePunch
    RewardsToday
    Simple2Win
    SupremeOGlaze (linked to Weatherseal below)
    Space Kitchens (see thread here)
    Tickbox
    Topfox
    Toyhound
    UK-PrizeDraw
    VoiceInACrowd
    Vouch4me
    Weatherseal
    Weather Wherever
    Whats On TV (now 'powered by Instant!!!!!!!')
    Willowbrook (chairs) (have pestered with phone calls quite badly on some comps - see here and also here)
    Win 4 Now
    Win24
    Zenith Windows (linked to Weatherseal above)



    Most people don't post these comps but there is no rule against it. If you do post one of these it's best to add a SPAM WARNING to your post, so that at least compers know what to expect.

    Thanks for the comp, Niolay. My Offers is on the list of those to avoid - but each to their own!

    Thank you :) I was just about to edit it after finding that. I'll put a note in the original post x
  • Has anyone won any of the myoffers comps??
  • Never won with them , but as I've said before it gives me next to no spam. I opened a new email when first tried myoffers and by being carefull what I tick manage to avoid spam - certainly get a lot more from other sites not on the list, and plenty where the unsubscribe link doesn't work
    2025 : over 3 years without a win. Then 4 in a couple of months - 3 books and a small That’s Life prize 🎉🎉🎉

    I won a luxury makeover with them & never get any spam from them as I'm careful to tick the right boxes
