First win - Absolute Radio accumulator
AJSimmo
Posts: 1 Newbie
Hi all. New to the forum, and just started entering radio comps online after listening to them at work all day. After maybe a dozen attempts on the odd day here and there, on Wednesday I won!
I'd entered my name and number at 1629. Then realised if they did call, I didn't know the day's featured artist to answer the question. A quick Google search found the answer here on MSE forum - Muse.
Just 5 minutes later my phone rang, a private number, and it's them! I answered within the 5 rings, answered the question, and won £2,000!! A short and cringe worthy chat ensued, then I was cut off. What happens now, I wondered? Another 5 minutes passed, another call from a London number, and it's the very friendly office guy from Bauer wanting my bank details so he can send the money immediately. Next day it was in my account! It was that straightforward.
I'm not able to win any other Bauer competition now for 6 months, but I'd like to encourage others to try, and go the free web entry route, we do win after all!!!
Huge thanks to the kind person posting the daily answer here - without your help I wouldn't have won. Cheers :beer:
