Mag Dailies Sharing Buttons

I have noticed since I have restarted doing the Mag Dailies that I haven't been able to share via the email & FB buttons once the entry finishes for the following Mag Dailies:

Women's Weekly, Women's Own. Women, What's on TV. Life Death Prizes & Celebs Now.

I was wondering If anyone else who shares once you have entered have had any problems with the above?

For all the other Mag Daily titles the share buttons work fine...

    Sharing does not give you an extra entry into the comp you are entering, it only gives you the opportunity to enter more competitions. Since on most sites, you can enter something like 35 competitions without sharing, I find there is no point in sharing, since nowadays I am only entering two or three on each mag.

    I hope this helps.

    On the magazine it says sharing gives you a bonus entry and after sharing on facebook I get a message that I have received a bonus entry.

    yes Glitterfizz it gives u another entry to use, NOT for that comp. Only worth doing if they have more listed than you get entries for as Marg says.

    Where does it tell you it is not an entry for that competition please?

    One thing to do is look at the number of competitions you can enter - take Life Death Prizes for example - starts with 25, enter one and when you go to the next comp it will show 24 left, then 23 etc, share one and the number you can still enter will remain the same (effectively the number drops by one for your entry then goes up by one for the share).


    Long ago there were more competitions than entries allowed so you needed to share if you wanted to enter all the competitions available and they ran a referral competition as well.

    it says "Share to earn 2 bonus daily entries" Look at "you can enter 35 competitions today." then if you share you will see "Message Posted! - Thank you for sharing. You have earned a BONUS ENTRY." you can only do this twice upping entries to 37. If you watch the number of entries you can enter today then you should be able to see what I mean.

    "Where does it tell you it is not an entry for that competition please?" Glitterfizz the thing is where does it tell you it is an extra entry for that specific comp?

    You share for bonus daily entries, added to your total daily entries. This is only worth doing when there are more comps available than entries. You can also check this by using all entries (so do some pick numbers ones) and when you get "sorry you have used all your entries for today" then click back to do a share and you will find you can enter another comp.

    Hope that makes sense x
