    I think you'll have a good case then! Hope you manage to get it - sounds like they were trying to get free advertising and pulled a stunt like that!

    Good luck!

    Hi,

    I use a free one that comes on the google tool bar that is free to download from the google page although it isn't fantastic and I know there are better ones out there it is free and does the job!!

    Hope that helps :)

    I use roboform which can be down loaded free. I have only ever used roboform, so don't know how it compares.

    What happened to the post about comping sites? Has it been merged into here? I just wanted to add that I have revisited Loquax and discovered their 'quick competitions' section. I have found this much easier to use and not as comlicated as I found the site in the past.

    I'd like to know if anyone has ever won twice from the same magazine. When you send all your answers into a magazine are you entered into each of the draws you have put answers for? And how does it work?

    I won several times with Prima. Two of the wins came in consecutive months. All were postcard comps.

    Oh sorry, I meant the same issue. Have you actually got a chance to win in all of the comps you give an answer for or do they only let you win one.

    I have won two local paper comps from the same issue, I can't remember any magazine wins like that.

    I won a real people prize last week from issue number 2 so am I right in thinking we have all entered loads of issues that haven't been drawn yet?
