think i need some lucky dust :)

Options
having a really unlucky patch i think...wins have dwindled from 3 or 4 a month a couple of years ago to about 3 a year last year...a big drop to say i'm entering as many, if not more, as i've started doing twitter comps as well...then when i had a lovely Lego win last November i thought my luck had changed but despite emails back and forth i never received it...to top it off, another hobby of mine is doing surveys for various survey companies, and i reached a threshold yesterday where i could redeem points for a £5 Amazon voucher :) but when the company sent me the code...Amazon couldn't accept it saying there was something wrong with it...(more emails being sent) something that's never happened before :( oh well maybe my luck'll change soon...?...

    It sounds like you already know this, but just in case, do you know that the code they send you is probably to use on the survey site to redeem your voucher. Once you redeem the voucher it should have the right code for Amazon. As I say, it sounds like you know this already, but I have tried before now to use the first code on Amazon, which obviously didn't work.

    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.
  • looking at it again it could just be an order number and i havent had the proper code yet, though they are very similar looking...very confusing...all i can remember the other times is getting a code and putting it into Amazon but perhaps i have been trying to enter the wrong code...oh dear, no wonder they aren't getting back to me they are probably thinking what an idiot...thanks for your reply anyway :)

    You are NOT an idiot if you did this. At least no more than me :o Hope it is that and you can sort it. I think we earn our rewards with those surveys :)
