Chasing Prizes

Has anyone any tips for chasing prizes that are not received? I have had wins in the past that i havent received and they have been from 'big' companies that always have emails/phone numbers etc. although I have won a good prize from a blog and since winning in mid August they havent replied to any emails, havent been blogging or on twitter or anything. is there anything I can actually do to try and get my prize or should I just accept it as a lost one?

    Just avoid most of the comps on there, they are ultra spammy - myoffers and those kind of crappy ones that bring bucket loads of spam.
    **Lo***x is dont do spammy (im told) comps but do link to bingo sites/comps its choc full of them.** Edited read below posts.
    (just page 1 alone of say the cash comps category has 7 bingo assoc links, 2 national lottery links - so not really comps)

    But there is always plenty of help on offer on here, just ask or pm one of the main posters they are really friendly and even though they are always busy posting great comps they will take the time to reply - 'weeowens/chelsea1969/jambo/firefly' to name just afew, who will give you tips and advice.

    And dont forget MSE is a free resource

    Can I just ask out of curiosity, vanpopple, why you self-censored 'Loquax'?

    Just genuinely intrigued, I'm not a Loquax user or affiliate, but it struck me as odd is all :) Unless you didn't want the post to come up in search results for Loquax in which case my apologies for inadvertently mucking that up :)
    Golly, I've got the newt pregnant...

    Yes thats all, didnt want links or anything to show up after all this is mse, other sites are up to people to judge and find themselves (of course if i did mean the site you mention lol)

    I mean it has regular comps but too many 'bingo' links **EDITED - Just spoke to jason of loquax and apparantly there is way to hide bingo links etc.
    And that isnt the site that does the - myoffers,offerx comps etc.. that was meant for theprifindr/
    I have to say it is nice that hes taken the time to correct a few things ive said so as always im willing to listen to him and have a go on there (if i run out of comps on here- havent yet, but can occasionally find comps not listed here)

    I simply just like mse as its mega mega simple and theres no spammy comps listed (myoffers, offerx, bingo etc as on 'OTHER' competition sites )
