Question about bonus mag daily entries?

Options
When it says

Share to earn more chances to win

3 BONUS ENTRIES- Earn up to 3 extra bonus daily entries from sharing this competition by clicking on the share icons above.

Does this mean if you retweet you will get an additional entry. Or does it mean if you retweet and someone enters from your tweet you will get a bonus entry?

Could someone clarify for me please.

Thanks and have a great weekend.

    Each mag sets a limit for the number of competitons you can enter each day - usually 20-25

    When you share it should give you 3 more entries but please be aware these are entries into competitions you have not already entered that day not extra entries into a competition you have already entered and maybe really want to win.

    I find I rarely enter the maximum number of comps anyway so sharing for me is a bit pointless as I cant use the extras.

    Hope I have got that right but someone will correct me if not :D

    Yeah, bees**knees has it about right.
    Say for example Woman magazine allows you to enter 25 competitions a day, but you want to enter 28. Ordinarily you would have to miss out 3 of them, but if you were to share on FB/Twitter for extra entries, you could gain extra competitions to enter.
    To be clear, you are NOT gaining further entries into the comp you share.

    Thanks both. That's sneaky isn't it! I tried to find info on the T&Cs but couldn't find anything about it anywhere. Will stick to just the usual entry then. :)

    There used to be far less entries allowed for most of them making it much more likely to need to share to enter them all, I suspect they found a good number of people only entered to the basic limit and did not bother to share to enter any more and they would rather have people entering them all.
