If you've liked a page to enter a competition / access an entry form, how long do you keep the page liked? Do you unlike the page once you've completed the form or like& shared a post/photo or keep it liked in case they're more likely to pick 'friends' even if liking the page doesn't get you entry? & for like to entry comps do you unlike after the exp date or wait til they announce winners?

I never unlike them. But I'd imagine it's best to leave it till winners are announced. Lots of competitions have the rules that you must like them to enter, and I imagine lots of them check that too.0

You should keep the 'like' until after the end date and after they have announced- companies will check you are still following.
I only unlike pages if they spell things incorrectly. I know that's bad, but, as a company you should be able to be grammatically correct.
They shouldn't pick friends, as they pick 'randomly' although with Like and share this is not always possible! So I tend to stay away from those!

Me too - sometimes you can tell a fake page by the owner's grammer ability!
It is best to stay liking the page until the winner is announced as I don't think they can tag your names as a winner if you are not a fan (but correct me if I am wrong):TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea0 -
They can tag names in a comment - under a post you have commented on. They can post a link to your timeline/profile in a 'status update/new company post' . Pages can't tag in a post (I have no idea why)
And it's always best to keep your mail open to 'anyone can message me'
Agreed Blue - I feel bad for the little companies but it doesn't fill me with much confidence!December Wins: £300 worth of board games, £500 Tesco Vouchers Best Win in 2023: £500 Tesco Vouchers0
