Hi,
I'm still a newbie. I started about six months ago, and I've caught the bug.
However my wife also has found it interesting and is entering competitions, sometimes the same one, using our desktop computer.
Are we disqualifying ourselves, by having two entries from the same computer. a couple of Companies like Virgin will only allow one entry and refusing the second. quite often its clear by saying one household.
I was just reading the Terms and conditions on a Waitrose competition and they were quite clear, except in our case as we would be entering twice.
"5. Entries are limited to 1 per person in total. Anyone trying to circumvent this rule by using multiple names, addresses or computer macros will be disqualified."
We., that's my wife and I aren't trying to beat any system. two people are entering.
Should I buy another laptop for my wife, will that make any difference?
In the meantime we've decided to go Blue/male and Pink/female on competitions.
Also I do all Electrical she does Household.
Is this all necessary or are we being Naive?
Help/guidance seriously appreciated
Lastly thanks to all those of you who give so much time and experience on this site, I've just discovered the Thanks bar and one day will contribute more fully, at the moment.. still learning.

There are a few answers to this here:

Basically you need to check the T & Cs of each competition, if they say one per household, don't both enter.Luck is believing you’re lucky – Tennessee Williams

I'm going to email Waitrose for clarification. but thanks, I did try and search out any possible answer before posting! but missed that post.
No email this time the competition is run by Coca-Cola enterprises, I will await another competition for clarification from them (Waitrose).0
