Hi, just a quicky, when you win a competition do you normally get sent an email or is it just a case of waiting for prizes to turn up?
Also, does it affect my chances of winning if i dont put a phone number?
thanks0 -
It varies as to how you are let know you have won competitions.
Sometimes you get an email through, sometimes a letter and sometimes the prize just turns up!
I always put a telephone number but have only had someone ring once and that was from Real People magazine after I had won a prize and they were asking if they could print my photo
If you have a Hotmail email address make sure you check your junk mail folder as sometimes (rarely) emails can go in thereWeight Loss - 102lb0 -

Heeeeeelp, I have been subscribed to a load of comps threads - Aaaaaargh!!!!
EDIT: The subscribe thing is on glitch btw, you have to go to user CP and chande the subscription thing to Do Not Subscribe
Ahem, Hi Sweetangel, Re: above post, helloI would hang around here and enter a few comps before trying to post them cause to be honest most of them will have been posted already. You need to get used to searching the forums before posting
Also the 2007 comping challenge is to win back your annual internet fees in competition prizes by entering as many free online comps as you can0 -
Im new to this thread, normally hang around in the freebies and discount threads. Which may I say for the last few days Ive not been anywhere near.
This is so addictive and everyone is so friendly. No arguments or petty back biting, it so makes a change.
Im officially hooked. I won = MTV tickets already, I have also won discovery meal kit to b delivered Thursday. (posted on here but I didnt know about this thread when I entered ):j
I cant keep up with the comps there are so many, when I catch up Im going to look for some to post. How do you guys do it ? your amazing.
Thanks again to all who post and for making me feel welcome. got some postcards Ill get round to entering postal comps one day - if I ever get on top of the internet ones.:rotfl: then theres the magazine ones and the text ones - Im getting dizzy thinking about them.Thanks to everyone who posts comps :T0 -
Welcome weaver. We do have a lovely bunch of people on here. It is very hard to run out of comps. And if you do its only for a few minutes before someone posts another one. Well done on your wins, I hope they are the first of many.0

Lo- bush the owner of compers grapevine posts on here. If you put a post on the main board, she will probably get in touch with you.
I don't usually have time to read this thread but the comping fairy must have seen me being mentioned and made me click on it! PM sent, although I don't think my mag was what the OP was really asking about. But hopefully they will like it anyway!How sweet it is to do nothing..... and then rest afterwards.0 -
