Chat win question

Just wondering if anyone has won money with Chat Mag and how long you had to wait for the cheque?
The letter says 8-10 weeks, but hoping it's sooner than that, being impatient!

    I have won a few times, and the cheque has usually taken 3 to 6 weeks.
    This could have changed now though.

    It seems the bigger prize cheques take longer - I had a Chat win cheque come through on Saturday for £25, and they just sent the cheque...

    Did you have to fill out a form to verify your entry? I think that's commonplace on some of the mags' higher value comps...

    Hopefully they are just giving a long timeframe to 'cover their backs' if it gets delayed, and it will turn up sooner than that :j :j

    Yeah, I had to fill out a form with a photo and send it back.
    It'll be a long wait, but it'll be worth it :-)
