Check your address on Real People Mag Daily

Last night when I went to do the magazine daily competitions I noticed my address had been changed on the Real People site.

The house number had gone from 3. to 1.

I hadn't changed it.

So I changed it back to the correct number and have just checked- it's okay now.

But might be worth checking your address is still correct before pressing submit.

    I won, I won, I won!
    This happened last year too - mine changed from 18 to 17 on a few of the mags!! The sites wouldn't let me change them myself so had to email them to get them changed. Might be worth checking all the Mag daily sites that you enter on :)

    Yes, it happened to me earlier this year on three of the magazines- but only the ones where you have to log-in and retrieve your details before pressing to enter.

    I'm probably missing something really obvious but when I log in, the only options I'm getting is my contact preferences. Can't see any way of viewing my postal address!

    any help would be gratefully received.

    No, it's not really obvious - logged in go to one of the competitions (say win cleaning stuff)

    That happened to me on Prima and I won a prize and was told it was being delivered to a house down the street, I changed the delivery address but it went threre anyway. It was so awkward as I picked it up that day and the lady who lived there was also a comper and she had opened the prize thinking she had won. It did have my name on it, but i left the house feeling guilty and uncomfortable with my prize in hand :(
    Thanks to everyone's hard work in posting comps, and good luck to all :T An iPad A years supply of fudge A book Balance Festival tickets A set of recycled plant pots A £500 nights stay in Chelsea Thanks to everyone
