Is anyone able to help me?? I entered a comp on here for the green cased Kindle, it took me to 'all in london' which I joined up to enter the comp

It then took me to 'my offers' and a load of competitions to enter. One of these, it might have been the £3k spend at tesco, had another entry at the bottom of the page where you had to validate that entry to the draw in order to enter by putting your mobile in and this was connected to something called 'juicywin'.

it said that i would be entered into a draw for every friday but that it costs £4.50 per week but that I could unsubscribe within 24 hours by sending 'stop' to the message. However in order to enter into this Friday's draw, which I dont have to pay for, I have to reply to their free message they have sent.

However.... I cannot reply to the message, it just comes up with 'forward' when I click on 'options' on my phone, this is not normal. On their website it says to reply to their 5 digit code which comes up in the 'from' box but there is no code, it says Freemsg

?? help, I dont want to be payin $4.50!

Started comping today. Must have entered 75 odd competitions.

How many do people generally enter every day? About this many?

Having a look at what some people have won, there must be some dedication!

Morning all,

Lovely here again this morning - hope it stays that way as we kept getting showers yesterday. Feeling cheerful today think its because I'm going to pick up my Travellers Cheques so makes my hols seem closer! Like to be organised - also like to make sure Bank hasn't messed up order.(used to work in one myself)

Hope everyone is pleased with their prizes this month and there is still today to go! Good luck all.

Morning all! I'm still signed off this week & other than my lungs trying to escape from my chest when I cough I feel fine! :rotfl: I just have to keep trying not to cough..

Katie - the problem with the text on your browser being small & hard to read.... I use Firefox, Chrome & Explorer (when I have to!) & this works on all 3:

• Hold down your 'ctrl' key & press the 0 (zero) key - this will return your browser size to the default one. If that is still a little hard to read then hold down your 'ctrl' key again & press the + key beside your numberpad (if your mouse has a scroll wheel you can also use that with the 'ctrl' key held down)
• Remember 'ctrl' and 0 (number) will return the font size to default again if you make it too big or too small.

Hope that helps you out as it is awful to strain your eyes trying to read stuff! x

Melvis - feel better soon & it sounds like you had a wonderful trip.

Molly(tw) - feel better soon, you just made me splutter on my tea then laugh - then into the inevitable coughing fit as I imagined you hoovering in high heels & glam sunglasses

lottylouj - you've got to be in it to even stand a chance of winning it Keep plugging away with the expectation of nothing more than something to keep your brain from being idle & any wins are then such a lovely surprise

debtfreewannabe - I always enter for those hotel & theatre breaks as it would be such a treat to win Congrats, hope you have an amazing time & that is one show on my list to watch!

Wingo & Katie - I sw Paul the other day & it reminded me of an adult version of ET. I still enjoyed it though

Hello Puddy :hello:

Is there another number in the text? Something like 'text STOP to xxxxx'? (I'm doubting there is, otherwise I'm sure you would have tried but sometimes it's best to start from the bottom & work up!)

Also, try to see which number it came from then instead of using reply, do a new message to that number which just says STOP - I've had to do that once when I missed a sneaky opt out box!

Also, bit late now but if I could give you 2 little bits of advice? Feel free to ignore but I'll feel bad if I don't mention it

1. My Offers is in the Comping Guide as one of the sites known to generate spam - lots of it! The general comper consensus is that it isn't a good idea & over the years I've been comping with lots of people (including me when I first started comping!) trying out My Offers comps, I've only ever seen 1 person post that a family member won something from them. They have awesome looking comps on there I agree, but for the emails, post, calls & texts the site generate versus the number of winners we've heard about, it is one that I & a lot of other compers do avoid like the plague.
2. Not sure how long you've been comping but it is quite easy to disqualify yourself by entering a comp more than once if you don't have a system. By following the comp link from the 'All in London' comp posted on here to other comps you possibly now don't have a record of what you've entered?
   By just entering comps from links on here, if you've thanked or clicked the 'entered' button you know that you've entered.
   If you see another comp link from one you've just entered then perhaps see if it is already on here (so you can click to let yourself know you've entered it) & if after you search you can't find it on here then it may be one to share with everyone else Have to admit though, it's quite hard (but not impossible) to find a comp that isn't already on here

Please take the above in the way it's intended to try to help out another comper sharing mistakes I've made in the past Also, feel free to do whatever you want to do, it's your comping!

Hi, thank you everyone for your responces, i would of come back earlier but with the kids home the house decended into madness!
I was not blessed with a lot of patience lol im learning slowly though.

Found out last night how to search for end date comps properly, how do you all manage that many with the same end date? i couldnt see properly by the end! all the comps were blurring together.
