Oh when you're into t/b'ers you get to know the places to look, I always hope that when I see a leaflet in the supermarket that it's going to be one but these days it's often a fpd. I swop forms with a couple of other compers & am a member of another site or two, though I only post the information if I've got the actual form in my possession.
Yes these days theres not so many, but in a way that suits me, I can spend more time doing one instead of just putting p'haps the first thing that comes to mind.

Good Luck

Hiya

Does anyone know if this is right? I think if you search without using capitals then the search won't work.

For example I was going to post about a ferrari lego comp - I searched ferrari not Ferrari and it didn't come up. Does that sound abit odd or not?


Thanks in advance

It depends if the original post had it with a capital or not. I find the most reliable thing to search is part of the url of the competition page. For instance for this I would search 'moneysavingexpert' with no spaces like that. But just take the biggest section of the url without fullstops or anything in.

I just searched ferrari with lower case and I spelt it with upper case and got it up (at the bottom)

Search engine is decidedly temperamental to say the least, I know some on here use google to search for the comps on here as opposed to the search engine

Strepsy

For your Lavazza one I would have searched 'lavazza-coffee' like it is in the url and it pops straight up.

The search is acting weird with newly posted ones now though, stupid thing...

Loads of prizes but you need a code from a Disney product - on-line has more details

Only problem is that I got a code from the Power Rangers magazine and it doesn't work!!!!!!

Anyone else have this problem???

There isn't a help/contact button and the FAQ link doesn't work either

kipper_2-2

Errr can't help you much, cos I ain't got any codes

FAQ button does work, it downloads details as a PDF file

http://www.magicticket.co.uk/html/pdf/magicticket/faq.pdf

but there isn't anything on there about codes not working the nearest thing to it is that if your PC crashes then send off the code and leaflet to the address thats in the game rules

HTH

kipper_2-2

sorry should have said that the game rules are PDF too

http://www.magicticket.co.uk/html/pdf/magicticket/gamesrules.pdf


and if anyones interested there is an NPN route to enter the comp in the document
