Multiple entry comps - I wish it was once only!

Options
Just wanted to know what other people's thoughts are on competitions that allow multiple entries.....

I saved up some ITV ones to do and thought I was going to have to shoot myself when I was entering the same one six times - I know there are short cuts....

But I do wish that everything was just enter once.....am I just being pedantic or does anyone else feel the same

Anywho....back to it I suppose

    I agree, but I expect that ITV are hoping that people make six premium rate phone calls.

    I only enter dailies if it IS TO WIN A PRIZE I want to win or is a really good prize! EG, I wouldn't enter daily for a book or a dvd that I had no interest in reading or watching. Dailies are time consuming so I am picky with my Dailies! Or should I say 'I dilly dally with my Dailies!' LOL

    I KNOW!!!!

    I guess I could just enter them once (and not either 6 times or the daily ones) - but I always think that the entry that I don't make...will be the ONE that would have won.

    unlimited entries are even worse, I hardly ever enter those and if I do it's once only.

    I guess with the magazine dailies they are hoping that you will click on 'yes' to one of their offers by accident at least once. I've done it a few times and then minute you click yes then it sends your details to the company, you can't even change your answer to no :(

  • I know what you mean the Daillie Mag and ITV are the worst, they seem to take forever.

    I hate most tweets win on twitter. I've seen someone do about 300+

    Crazy.

    And the nisa ones? 100 entries... I just can't be bothered! xx

    I really hate them too.
    I enjoy the daily instant win ones because there's always that moment of hope when wheels are spinning/trees are shaking etc haha.

    But entering the same comp over and over annoys me. I only do it for ones when I think the prize is worth the effort (and even then I only do it when I can be bothered these days!)
