Competitions Discussion Thread

Tyrannical

I enter most days, and usually get 1 or 2 sucessful entries each time. You are allowed 30 attempts per program and i find it usually best to do it when the web entry opens at 3pm rather than during the show when the website is overloaded and quite often unusable. I personally haven't won but have read on the C4 DOND forums of people that have won by web entry so i live in hope

Well done BS :T It took me 3 attempts to pass too.

I often get web entries, I start at 3pm and it takes me about 15 minutes to get the 30 attempts in, generally between 1 - 7 entries, but I have NEVER won anything on it. It does make the show more exciting though, I sit there wondering if my name will come out and have to watch it to the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wondered what you all think about the competitions from "silversurfers"comp address.

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=427977


as the email address is [EMAIL="sixtyplusurfers@hotmail.co.uk"]sixtyplusurfers@hotmail.co.uk[/EMAIL]

I normally use a hotmail address because its free.

Do you think this site is 100%genuine, as it seems very strange for a company to operate using hotmail.

Im probably a little to cautious and being silly.

I hope they're ok cause I've posted them all, I'm pretty good at spotting a dodgy site It is a bit weird that they have the domain name and not the email associated with it.

The site is a bit haphazard but it has the names of the team & I reckon it's ok

Mind you, some of them there photos are not of over 60s & dare I say the woman at the top of the home page appears to have had flour chucked all over her head :eek: :rotfl:



:beer: :beer:

If I'm lucky I get one or two successful entries per day, but some days I don't get any.
Last year I won £1000 and it is quite a shock to see your name come up at the end!!

I enter every day and usually get 2 sucessful entries - however saying that I got 5 sucessful entries.

I only ever tune into the show just before 5pm so I can see If I have won.

Did they not phone you prior to placing your name on the screen or do they phone you after the show?

I often enter this, when I remember its on!:rolleyes:

I've had days when I've got 5 or 6 entries through, and then days when I've only had one entry through.
Never won anything....................yet!

What I can't believe though is people pay £1 for a phone entry, and it says not all entries automatically get through!:eek:

I have done it on my phone when I needed to use up some credit. Same as those 'quiz call' ones that you don't get through but keep trying and it does get through.

I was doing the entries online and wondering if I would ever win, I was thinking no not on a free web entry, BUT it is so nice to hear that someone from here has won doing it. That makes me want to stick to it and do it every day. I will do it from 3pm then!
