Hi All, Postcard Query

Hi All.
I'm new to this forum and to comping. So my query is this: When I am entering different competitions, but sending all the postcards to the same address, PO Box ??? etc. Can I a) put all the postcards in the same envelope addressed to PO Box ??? and b) if I can do this, do I have to write the same address on each postcard, or can I just write the specific competition on the front and the info required on the back of each card. Thanks in advance for responses and any newby advice offered.

    You would need to check the T&Cs of the competitions - you cannot do this for ITV and probably any where the postal route is offered as the "free" entry alternative to a premium route.

    The ITV bit
    In the case of multiple entries received in a single envelope or postcard, only one entry will be entered into the promotion. Entries sent by post must be received at the relevant postal address specified for entries by the closing date and time for receipt of entries. Postal entries without correct and sufficient postage paid will be invalid and will not be considered. Personal and hand deliveries will not be accepted
  • Hi Guys
    Thanks for the responses. To be clear, what I mean is that, say one comp was for a Secret Escapes competition and one was for say Spa Vouchers competition, but both postcards were going to the same PO Box clearing house. If I put both cards in the same envelope addressed to the same PO Box. Is this OK.?
  • As mjm3346 has already explained to you, you would need to check the T&Cs of the competitions.

    As others have said, refer to the t&cs. If you are referring to specific current comps, these sound like Express comps in which case you actually need send your entries in envelopes not on postcards so read what is required for each comp you enter.
