Bauer win

Hi all!
I was just wondering how long anyone had to wait for a bauer cash win to be transferred? I recently won £1000 14 days ago. The woman on the phone said that the longest it would take was 28 days but she said that normally it doesn't take long at all.
I'm just waiting to get a new car, win came at just the right time, I can get a better one than I thought I could!

Thanks in advance!

  • I got mines the next day, but that was a daily radio comp so perhaps they transfer the cash quicker on those ones.? I really have no idea though. Was this one that you won just advertised as a competition on one of the radio websites or a daily enter comp?

    I won £100 in a Bauer magazine comp some years ago and the cheque took about 4 weeks to come.

    A radio win earlier this year was paid into my bank account by the next day.
  • It was a competition on the absolute radio website.
    I'm sure it won't be much longer, I'm just itching to go car shopping!

    I have heard that on some of the bigger cash amounts, it can go in to your account on the same day, in regards to a radio station win.

    I once had it take the full 28 days.

    Congratulations on your win....And your new car :)

    If you sent them an e-mail with your bank account details you could make sure it was the correct ones but otherwise it's "within the 28 days".

    I won £1000 with Absolute in June and it arrive a couple of weeks later they seem to be quite good at paying within the time they state as I have had a little win with one of the other stations and that arrived again within a couple of weeks, enjoy your win when it arrives.
