    Has this ever been enforced? Do they refuse to send a win or just redraw with out telling you actually won?
    I know I won on the click to wins several times in a few months , all low value (less than £100 each), and I received all ok.

    There is no limit on prizes below the £500 threshold.

    I was just going to post the same thing!! If only I had this problem - sadly I've had one half decent win worth £80 this year, but nothing else!
  • I've won several decent prizes on the mag dailys over the last couple months. 3 with in-style .Ok they probably all come in under the £500 Mark but to be honest it would take me longer to check out whether I can/cannot than it would just to carry on entering them all regardless anyway. I saw one of the links above quoted "We reserve the right"
    If the worst that can happen is they throw my name out then I think I'm happy in blissful ignorance.:)

    In style is ok (well done on so many wins :) ) but be careful on the Bauer sites though, as it does say: "enforce our right to disqualify that person and require the return or reimbursement to us of any prize even where a prize has been awarded and/or actually provided to the entrant or prizewinner in question."
  • I think Grazia is probably the only one I've won from recently on the Bauer list but again under £500

    One of my first prizes when I started comping 2/3 years back was a win from Heart radio for £1000 (And I did wait the six months).. funnily enough other than a ticket win I've never won anything from Global since.

    So basically, am I thinking we don't need to worry too much about prizes under £500 for Bauer nor timeInc which seem to be most of the mag daily/C2Wins/puzzle mags

    Oh no feeling your pain! I won a trip to NYC with LBC radio earlier this year so I'm banned from the Global network now - that's only about 6 companies though! I'm counting down until 4/10 when I can enter again lol
    2024 £72, 2023 £2230, 2022 £300, 2021 £1800, 2015 £3790, 2014 £4460
  • I won with planet rock today £1000 again Bauer media does that mean I can't enter any click to wins of value below £500 ?

    Well I've only gone and won £1000 vouchers with Global today so that counts me out of BOTH Global and Bauer Media for 6 months!!

    I'm not complaining lol, but the radio stations always have the best prizes, the types I really want to win - oh well, that gives all you other lovely compers the chance to win while I'm off limits!!

    See if you can get the treble with Talksport and be banned from all 3 at the same time!
