sorry to ask, but theres a new monthly & quarterly sticky too ???

I thought these were all to go on the proper comps bit, and were going to be reposted every month according to the new guidelines? Or have the guidelines changed again?

(ps, please be gentle, I'm just confused)

i thought they were as well :huh:

Miss_Cinnabon

Well im totally confused now too :huh: it took me a lot of time and effort starting up the monthly list and maintaining then it was decided (without consulting me, i was only told after it had happened!) to do away with the list and all comps on main, thought fair enough thats what people want now there is a monthly/quarterly list on again??? no offence to any of the bg's but can i ask why my list was deleted just for it to be started up again?

Somewhat different I know but regarding this comp I just thought that the terms may prove useful at a later date..Rather than bump the thread I thought it might be ok to add them here

Hello
We won a competition that said "Win a TV worth $2400" now they are saying that we can choose our own TV worth $1000

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I don't know what the conversion rate is at the mo but could they mean £1000?

Have you contacted them to enquire?

aliasojo

I thought that too and have just checked, $2400 is £1464. (Give or take) Maybe the rate was worse when they wrote the letter?

I think you may be a troll.
