    just a quick question
    new to this

    If a company has many comps going on but requires a postcard for each, can I send multiply enteries (1 for each comp) in an envolope to the main address, therefore saving on stamps

    thanks

    I always do. Have won some too. It depends what it states in the Terms and Conditions really. Some companies want them separate. Hope that helps.

    Get them for free at museums and art galleries, bars, etc, and...


    This is all, or mostly, copied from another MSEr's reply to a request from me. I think that it was DUKE, but I'm not sure.

    [FONT=&quot]I don't know if they still do, but fitness first gyms used to have a display in each club free of free postcards with all sorts of designs on, I know london have a few gyms, so if you know any members you could ask them to look for you? Hope that may help get you some[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]have a look when you are in any shops as they may be advertising etc[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Try odeon cinemas
    as said fitness first
    you could also make your own from old cards etc
    some tk maxx stores have beside the till[/FONT]


    [FONT=&quot]O'Briens Coffee Shops might have
    showcase cinemas
    oasis stores [/FONT]


    [FONT=&quot]some coffee bars
    Cineworld cinema
    Habitat
    H & M stores
    Slug and Lettuce pubs
    sometimes in Starbucks[/FONT]

    Keep an eye out wherever there are flyers (eg, record shops) - I've used many as postcards, even if they were never designed as such.

    Once you start looking you can find loads!

    Sorry - I can never remember who I get info off - must remember to make a record. icon9.gif:doh:

    That info you gave was way useful, and got me thinking about where else to try - I often pick up a wadge of them. I try to slip them into a mag or something.

    As if anyone watching wouldn't have noticed!

    Got so many now there's no space left in the holder I use! :beer::beer::beer:
