A single chocolate bar!



I mean some of the rubbish you have to jump through hops for these days!


I have started avoiding certain pages and competitions. I do not want to risk my facebook being suspended from doing certain things for trying to win a chocolate bar worth 50p!


Then my friends moan when they are blocked :mad:


That feels good typing it out here.

    I won't enter for crap any more, good luck to those that cba but I reckon it's just encouraging companies to do this.

    What type of chocolate bar is it? :rotfl:
    If it was the new orange twirl, I haven't been able to get hold of them and I know someone desperate to try one!

    I enter for small things but only if it is a new product I want to try, know someone who wants to try it. But that does sound ridiculous!

    I don't enter many share competitions, it has to be worth around £100 or more for me to think about sharing. I only have three people that are very happy for me to tag too, although I occasionally tag someone who doesn't comp.
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    Doesn't appeal to me but 50 pence for one entry is probably a better return per entry than winning any of the daily entry multiple site ones when making all entries.

    £15 prize approx 500 potential entries = 3 pence per entry
    £100 prize also 500 potential entries = 20 pence per entry
    £50 prize approx 6200 potential entries = less than 1 pence per entry
    £500 prize also 6200 potential entries = 8 pence per entry.

    I really hate the 'tag' competitions

    I just want to enter normally. Either fill in a form, or like and share.
    I don't want to pester people by tagging them because a lot of my friends can't be bothered with comps, and it feels like spamming them.
    If you are in a clique where you tag a load of strangers who agree to it, fair enough. But I don't think it's fair when it seems that the only way you can enter is to bother others.
    I wonder if we will see more of it in December when the comps that can't be named start? Quite a few* are going to have a great festive period.
    Be Lucky.


    *I mean the regulars who get mentioned a lot and do very well at Christmas.
    BEST EVER WINS WON IN ORDER (so far) = Sony Camcorder, 32" lcd telly, micro ipod hifi, Ipod Nano, Playstation 3, Andrex Jackpup, Holiday to USA, nintendo wii, Liverpool vs Everton tickets, £250 Reward Your thirst, £500 Pepsi, p&o rotterdam trip, perfume hamper, Dr Who stamp set, steam cleaner.

    comping = nowt more thrillin' than winnin':T :j
  • These annoy me too, I have a comping only Twitter account and I have a Facebook account that I only use for comping, it has three friends only and I can only tag one of them. What's worse are the Twitter comps that need liking, sharing, tagging and you then also have to send an email with your twitter ID, answer to a question and your contact details for your twitter entry to count. I did these for a while but because the prizes are so naff I don't bother anymore, plenty more to be getting on with.
