    Why has this been moved to a "game over/competition" ? - It is an onging freebie offer. Definately not closed and definatley not a competition . First come first served from 10am every morning - Just got mine .

    It shouldn't be in the competitions thread and it has no end date (obviously, for not being a competition). Hence, the reason it has been sent, rather than moved :o, to GO
    Thanks to all posters :A
  • The end date is the 15th? x

    Hence my query has to why this thread has been moved to a competitions/game over section. It used to be ( correctly ) in "freebies ( no spend required )" - and shoudl stil be there

    My question was directed to MSE as to why they had moved it.

    I have Cous Cous as an evening meal with chicken breast, veg and a sauce such as Peppercorn or a homemade Diane Sauce. Its very yummy and a good substitute for potatoes/chips/wedges/rice, especially if you are trying to cut out carbs.

  • Anything over 1,000 products (or is it 2,000?) is classed as a 'freebie', anything less and it is a competition.

    It's more of a competition than a freebie because not everyone is guaranteed to receive the 'prize'. You have to compete with other people for it.

    Well over 2,000 in this case then ? 400 per day on a first come first served basis from 10am every day until 15th November

    From 10am lasting for about what ... ten minutes or so? If you have to request a product at a certain time then I'd class it as a competition :)
    400 each day would be classed as a daily comp, regardless of how many there are in total :)

    Its even in todays weekly email as a freebie - rather than a competition , so MSE arent being very consistent !
