    I emailed the stay@ addy last week and have not heard anything, I have just emailed the customer relations one and it has been returned, so I emailed the stay@ one again, do you know if there is a number for me to ring :)


    I can't find a specific phone number but there is a callback option

  • I regularly enter the Now magazine comps and I've decided to also give the Pick Me Up comps a go. However, I've noticed that both mags often run the same comps with the same number of prizes, and both are owned by IPC Media. Are all the entries for the two mags being put in one big draw for the same prize? If I enter from both mags, have I entered the same comp twice and spoilt my chances? Has anyone entered both and won something?

  • Have you ordered a laptop? Why do you need to verify your email address on an email that's addressed to you? Sounds like it's fishing for genuine email addresses to me.

    I enter all 3 but to be honest I hadnt noticed they had the same prizes - they might have over time but on a set day them seem to be different?

    'Good to know' comps. All 3 get posted every day usually at the same time (I think elverman is doing them at the moment just after midnight).
