i sometimes find that ones I know I have entered teh thanks button has been pressed. I think maybe I clicked it and it just hasnt clicked through. For example I got a wem through today from one of goodtoknows competitions, now I enter these every day from on here but when i went to the thread that fluffynit started for the competition I hadnt thanked her for it (have now though) and I am positive I had thanked

toniq

Maybe that could be it, well thanks again for your help, ill press that button doubly hard from now on!

I've a couple of questions.

What is the most common method used by sponsors to inform that you have won the prize - phone or email or post?

If its phone (usually mobile), do they use withheld number when contacting you?

Usually they do use a withheld number ~ when you get a call, you are usually that stunned, (or expecting a b.,,. timeshare) that you tend to forget to listen to which comp/mag they are ringing about. If you don't hear just ask again, especially if its emap.com, and they tell you to email someone else.

That could mean deaf people losing out on winnings as they have to enter a phone number even if they cannot hear. They use mobiles for text messages so by withholding number it doesn't give them a chance to reply to send text message.
