Competitions Discussion Thread Part 3

jeppy

I like the competitions ending as you know you dont have to wait long to find out if you have won. Also, there are many times when I just dont have time to enter so this I find very helpful.

I will try to help.

Which date would you like me to do, preferably one with at least a weeks notice as I will have to do a few each day.

Thank you mpython for reply, yes I did have to phone a free number and then go to Haydock for a two hour talk if I wanted the 'free holiday'. So no hols. for me this year

It's obvious that quite a few people use these lists by the number of thanks on them,and if the people who use them want to organise a system to spread the load of actually making them up then I don't see why so many people have popped on this thread just to say they don't use them!

I think it's put a bit of a downer on the thread which wasn't doing any harm to anyone. Just my opinion. I have occasionally used the threads and nearly always find some i've missed, so I find them quite handy, but i still work through the main lists every day.

At the moment I can't think of a date when I will have some free time to do, as I work full time, have a baby and am studying for my masters, so spare time is a real luxury, but if i have a day off I'll volunteer my services.

Do you mean do the prizes actually arrive?

Not so much that, as whether the prizes don't actually end up even being allocated. So, I suppose, I'm thinking of companies only using them to gather marketing/contact information, and cheap publicity.

Anybody got any tips on editing the signature? I just tried reducing it to about 4 words, and it still tells me the BB Code (?) is too big. I used the smallest font size as well.

Oh I see. No idea about that one then, sorry. I guess the timeshare ones are all a bit of this, but if you are strong enough then you can actually get a free holiday out of them (the scams thread shows this off). I think most companies give a way of finding out who the winner was.
