Well after all the problems I have been having with the Waitrose comps, and being told by them that their IT dept. had checked and found no problem so it must be a problem with my browser - this went through first time!!!
I did clear my cookies again after failing to enter the Aveeno comp this morning - so I don't know whether that helped or whether this entry was a fluke.0 -
Not working for me.0

I have made numerous complaints to the IT department at Waitrose about not being able to enter online competitions, I cleared my cache, like they suggested but to no avail. I was beginning to think that the purchase only entries were a swizz as I could never enter because the code wouldn't work. I found last time I filled in the form manually rather than use autofill and bingo, I managed to enter. I will try free entry ones for a bit rather than go and buy something I don't usually buy - but their IT department is "useless"!:mad:0 -
Bonkers web site - just entered other Waitrose comp from Chrome because Firefox and Safari would not work.
But for this comp just entered through Firefox because Chrome and Safari would not work !0 -

Fill in the form, then rest the captcha, put in the information and it usually works0 -

Sorry should say RESET the captcha0 -
For those having difficulty entering Waitrose competitions enter your details including ticking terms & conditions then reset captcha/code until only numbers are showing. Then enter the numbers and hit enter key not submit . It may take a few attempts but it seems to work better when only numbers are showing.0
