Thanks weeowens. I don't know how the forums work or who to ask, but would it be possible to have a separate thread for these purchase to enter comps ?
It may help us all with a shopping list to know what to look for when we buy our usual shopping.
There are some amazing comps out there. For example.. The Brians Million comp on Confused.com. Many of us will be buying insurance anyway and might not know about this.

This was discussed on the poll

and my opinion remains unchanged

Voted no as I don't think "pay to enter" should be on here.

But this is not the same as a product purchase necessary to enter and I think there should be a distinction made between the two and a higher limit set for purchase required competitions, just a box of tea bags can easily cost more than £2.10.


Copy below of what I put on the other thread,


I don't think the limit for pay to enter competitions should be raised.

However purchase necessary comps should not be lumped in with "pay to enter" ones and stopped at the same limit.

Just glanced at the Freebies (low spend) section and some involve buying magazines at £2.60, £3.60, £3.99, paying £2.50, £4.90, £4.99 P&P etc all to get the "freebie" (highest was buying wine at £7 plus a stamp to submit the claim). I don't know if there is a set limit on that board but don't see why the comps section should have a limit any lower than the ones posted on it.

(Not over keen on them myself)

Thanks everyone. If that is the way MSE wants it then so be it.
I've now joined a group on Facebook that shares and lists these but it would have been so much easier to see a thread on here.
I still truly think that it would be beneficial to all.
