Competitions Discussion Thread Part 2

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Yes I do enter a lot of comps so not sure what is the best way to have them all in one place so I can keep an eye on them, especially as some of them, you have to check the website to see if you have won as they don't contact you. I worry I will forget to do that as I enter quite a few each day.

Just save the ones you have to check the sites for, and forget about the rest, nice surprise then if you win.

I never bother checking websites of comps I have entered - the majority let you know if you have won

From their website:

RoboForm does not work in Opera, Netscape 4, and Compuserve 7. RoboForm works in Internet Explorer, browsers based on IE and browsers based on Gecko (Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape 7 and 8).

Anyone know of anything similar for the Opera browser?

A very quick search on google turned up that, don't know if it will help as I didn't read it.

i've just noticed that all the compers go to bed early
is it so time goes quicker and you can wake up to see if the postman's been

It is a scam. I was conned out of £60. They phoned up, gave me the details of the prize, I paid (refundable?) deposit, a few days later received confirmation letter which was not precisely what they told me I had won. When I asked for my deposit back they did not comply. I would steer clear of them - but that's my opinion of them. As stated by others though - refundable or not you shouldn't have to pay for any kind of prize.

If you've paid by credit card, have a try getting it back via them ~ I don't know if you can, but its worth a try.

I have been entering the above comps for the last 3 weeks using the postcard route as seems to be the cheapest route. Anyone know how winners are selected or whether any entry route has favoured odds.

I assume they must all be entered on a database then a random correct answer is selected.

I wouldnt have thought that any way has a preferred route - they should all be equal? Saying that though I entered 4 -5 magazine comps per week for over 6 months through the post and never won a thing!
