and there was an answer of "never"

Absolutely.

They are the people who the Sun are really hoping to find - people who don't buy it but then buy it because of the promotion.

What they will then do is another survey in x months and see whether anyone who didn't buy it is now buying it regularly (they will do this by matching email address or home address).

This is marketing and this is what the promotion is all about.

See The Sun still isn't admitted they totally screwed up - codes could be issued more than once, no limit to how many codes per account hardwired in, script vulnerable, code word could be guessed, site was live before Monday etc. etc.

Unfortunately people sharing codes is always the problem with promos that only use code words and similar. That's why so many comp organisers don't like MSE.

But there is so much they can do to stop it happen next time.

• Open the website at 7pm on the 3rd day.
• Have a capture code so the applications cannot be automated.
• Make the codes less easy to guess

and so on.

Believe me that will have a meeting about this and they may well do it differently next time.
