Emerald Street Error Message

Hi

Does anyone else get this error message when they try to enter Emerald Street comps?:

"Submission error:

Client error response [url] https://apiconnector.com/v2/address-books/5789252/contacts [status code] 400 [reason phrase] Bad Request"

I have a feeling I unsubscribed a while ago so maybe it is because of that. Any ideas?

Thank you[/url]

    I get that but if you submit again it says something along the lines of 'you've already entered' so I assumed it was a coding error on the website.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!
  • Thanks - it has happened on a few of their comps - maybe I will try entering them again to see if I also get the 'already entered' message. Hopefully then that means we are still entered despite the error codes.

    I think it is because we've previously been subscribed to their newsletter then unsubscribed. The first time it happened to me there was a message along those lines and now I get the one in the first post above.

  • i think you are right rceebear - I have a feeling they sent so many emails that I unsubscribed because of that.

    I did just try entering one again and like hannonle I got the ' you've already entered' message which is good - I hope being unsubscribed doesn't reduce our chances of winning!

    I don't think it has an impact. I'm pretty sure when it first happened the message I got also said I'd still been entered. At least that is why I've continued entering their comps despite the error message. Fingers crossed for us all :)

    My daughter gets this message but won a lovely handbag just before Christmas from them so it must still work?
  • Thanks perfect10 - well done to your daughter and great news for those of us that get the error message!

    Thanks to all who post the competitions
