I did it after a few tries with numbers only, someone had suggested refreshing until numbers only and it worked for me

It is just pot luck - I tried with and without a form filler and included for both sets, all numbers, using enter/submit, refreshing prior to entering, leaving that bit blank, caps lock on/off (just in case) etc and it did not go through - next time I tried it went through first time using a form filler, submit, and it was a mixture of letters and numbers.

As per this post by CXL;

I've noticed the code won't go through for me if the t&c's box has been ticked beforehand. Try ticking the box after you've typed the code, hth https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5916243/e-19-11-win-a-yorkshire-provender-hamper&highlight=waitrose#7

Accepting the terms and conditions after filling in the code meant that it went through first time.
On the previous Yorkshire Provender competition I 'd tried ten or more times before reading CXL's post. Again it went through the first time I tried, only clicking to accept the t&c's after filling in the refreshed code.

I think their competitions are a bit like instant win "winning moments" ones, the difference being you have to hit a "winning moment" to get your entry to work so it makes no difference if you happen to be standing on your head eating a poached egg at the moment when your entry goes through.

Thank you cinders59.
Perhaps I should point out that I had tried clearing cookies with the Provender comp, but that didn't have immediate effect - it wasn't until I left the t&c's till last that I got the entry. Maybe I closed the Waitrose page inbetween?

I'm sure mmjm3346 has got a point about it being luck, but there may well be contributing factors.

Such a shame, for quite a while they seemed to have cured these Waitrose comps and I was able to enter easily. It was so nice!
