The Times Mini Ipad Wins?

2

Comments

  • I did not know that the Sun ran one yesterday like the times do at a weekend. Oh well more chance for everyone else to win :rotfl:

    And yes both the sun and the times are owned by the same people.

    Will there be any more from the Sun then? I will have a search now to find the one from yesterday so I can look out in future. I know to keep an eye on the times, but didn't have a clue about the sun till now. Wonder if any other papers will do the same soon then. Best keep looking.
    Current Aims: Laptop/PC, decent money, holiday
    Best Wins: Ipad, Nintendo 3DS, £400 Shopping Spree at LK Bennett, £100 Boots vouchers
    Total Wins (Since April 2012) £3442.56
    Big thanks to all who post comps :T:beer:

    There have not been many wins posted on Loquax neither for any of the recent comps. Maybe they are all being won by subscribing non comping people ;)

  • Im actually wondering if the times has banned those who linked to the site from MSE, but thats just me being cynical. Ever since I started comping all the times comps so far have been won by at least one person from MSE and now all of a sudden there are no winners from MSE. Its definately worth thinking about anyway. Like I said Im probably being cynical and reading more into it than what there actually is.

    With all the publicity about the cheating that goes on I would be surprised,I am amazed TESCO haven't done the same.

    To be honest, I never use links from here or other comp sites I use so the "source" of where I have come from will not be shown. So, The Times will not know I have come from MSE or Loquax. I have never won a comp from The Times and have entered most of their comps. It is just down to luck.

    I can imagine these comps attract 1000s of entries per hour so the chances of winning are really quite low.

    There will be many people who buy the papers, read online etc who will perhaps not be members here or other comping sites that will enter and it is maybe them who are getting lucky.

    when i won my kindle i didnt get a notification it just came in the post, i doubt they have banned mse'rs :-)
  • Why take the chance of being banned by entering from MSE link? If you go to www.thetimes.co.uk and click on Sunday Times tab at the top the comp is listed. It gives you a different form from the one you get when you go through MSE link. Having said that Ive never won whatever I do!
  • Someone mentioned how to hide where you come from if you use FireFox. I can't remember who posted it or how you do it but I managed to get mine set up so I can click on the magazine comp links and it lets me through, so it must work! I've never won from any of the Times' competitions though :(

    She is the goddess and I thank her again for the information *bows down*
