    Apologies for dredging up an old thread, but I thought it was worth mentioning another variation on the Bauer theme.

    There are currently 2 comps posted to win £1000 with Kiss & Magic which have a different version of the restriction. The T&Cs state:
    Only one person from the same address can win a prize from any Bauer Media brand competition within any 6 month period.
    As mentioned earlier in this thread, it's guesswork whether they would pick up if you've had another win in the past 6 months, especially if it's a click-to-win.

    The reason I spotted this was that my OH has just received her first WEM from a click-to-win (gold medal for perseverance after entering for at least 2 years without a win!) We're not sure what the value of the prize is as we think it was shown on the comp entry page as 'value £0'. We're going for the ignorance option on other comps until we hear otherwise!

    Just use a different email address for the C2W's and if you get an email saying you've won, get it delivered to your mum's house or something :)
