    looks like it is a daily - Online entries to the Silver and Gold prize draws are limited to one per person, per day. Strictly one email address will be accepted per person. No entries from agents, third parties, organised group or entries automatically generated by computer will be accepted. No bulk entries. No entrant can use their computer to enable multiple entries, (e.g. By the use of 'script' or 'brute force' or the use of automated devices or processes). In the event that person's entry and all associated multiple entries will be disqualified and any prize award will be void.

    too many comps..not enough time!

    I don't understand the T&Cs, it seems to say you need a code but there is no space online to enter one, either for the gold or silver prizes such as this one - http://www.costcutter.co.uk/set-summer-free-competitions/silver-fitbit/

    Or does it just mean the QR code takes you to the correct webpage? If so there are a few other silver comps to post.

    too many comps..not enough time!

    Having read through the terms again, it seems like there are two separate entry methods
    The first method is in store with the code
    The second method is online
    Because if you read the bit about when they make the draws for random winners it separates the draws into the instore draws and the online draws.

    I agree with you that it is very confusing and I have read through several times now, but I think that's why there is nowhere to put a code online because you scan your code in store for the instore entries.

    It's odd isn't it? Glad you find it confusing too, I'm doubting myself! I'll post the other comps shortly.
