i have a question about lastbroadcast .. there are always lots of comps on here for them but has anybody ever won with them , i never see any from there in the i won section , just curious

Taken from another comping site. She emailed Last Broadcast about this, and this is the reply that was received...

LastBroadcast has only been running since the start of
February, and so no competitions have actually closed yet...

All competitions run for two months, so in a month or so prizes will
start being allocated (not looking forward to the postage bill, hehe).

If anyone is waiting for prizes to be sent out from competitions
they've won on Amnesiac (the website we were previously) then their
prizes will be sent out soon, there's a few prizes from back then that
we're still waiting for before we can send them out.

and...

Oops, meant to add, we'll also have a winner's list once we have some
winners too, so you'll be able to check if you've won on the site.

I'm the first to admit that Amnesiac was run a tad shambolically (if
you saw how often reviews went up on time on that site you'll know
what I mean!) but LastBroadcast is a much more tightly-run site I'm
glad to say!"

Hope that helps

QUOTE:hi, wonder if anyone can give me a little help...what do you write on your postcards for the postal comps? posted five postcards yesterday and got two of them through my door this morning!! not bad as i didn't post them till after 5 and they were second class but in this case Royal Mail are working a little too well lol Any suggestions as to how I can get my postcards to go to the comping address and not mine!!
ZOEPOP47 I've had exactly the same problem, I've tried writing my address after turning the card around, I've tried putting my telephone number last, I've tried inserting a full stop in the centre of my postcode, I've tried printed labels, I've tried handwritten address but still a percentage are delivered straight back to me Arghhhh, especially frustrating when it's close to the closing date!.
I'd love to know a foolproof solution too, if anyone has any ideas.....

I always write the TO: address in big block capitals and straight - and the FROM bit diagonally and not so large - not had one back yet - although I don't do many postcard comps.

reminds me of coming home from honeymoon and finding a piece of our wedding cake had been delivered to me........and not to the person I sent it to:D

divadee

can i ask all you regulars a favour?

i just dont have teh time to look through every comp individualy and if it has been posted before merge them.

If you guys spot a duplicate thread could you pm me the link to both threads so i can merge them, this will save a huge amount of time spent looking and merging etc...

Oh man! I have just realised that my email address was wrong on Roboform, talk about being a ditz!! Hopefully I may start winning some things with a correct email address :rotfl:

Oh no! I was really worried about that when I first set up roboform, but I found a competition that I knew would email me confirmation and made sure that I got the confirmation ok.
