    Friday's password and prizes now added. No new ones today so maybe we have seen them all now. They may be holding back a couple of big ones for the last day but who knows?

    Oh, and still no reply from my e-mails.
    Many tx to all who post constructively in all the forums!:beer:
  • I think the aim of this competition is to give more people a chance of winning therefore they have lots of different prizes so they limit each person to one entry for one prize. Too bad there isnt any Wiis to be won!

    NEWSFLASH!

    This just arrived in my inbox...

    Thank you for your e mail and interest in the Independent.

    You may enter once for each daily set of 4 prizes via e mail, and as many times as you like via text. You need 4 passwords to enter for each prize.

    Woo-hoo! :j

    Now to update the OP... again! I've lost count of the number of times I've had to edit it. :rolleyes:

  • thanks for posting, yet I am completely confused. Does that mean we can enter once for each day or only once for the whole competition?? :confused: I am really sceptical that we can enter once a day...

  • :confused: Have to say I have read and re-read this thread so many times now and I am still so confused :confused:

    Earlier I entered the competition (the only way I could interpret the comp) but now I am assuming it is wrong or rathered worried its wrong.

    I put XBOX in the subject line..

    I put 4 passwords in the email body..

    then my details as asked for..

    HOWEVER I am not sure if email was supposed to have 4 passowrd or just the one relating to the days prize you wish to enter..i.e Mondays prize XBOX & only mondays password. Also not sure still how many times we can enter :(

    Each e-mail must have four passwords in it. That is a definite.

    You can enter once per e-mail address per day (i.e. per set of 4 prizes). That is a a definite.

    Remember that this is a work in progress and you should re-read the original post if in doubt.

    Or should I just give up?

  • were we supposed to enter on the day (like Monday's prizes on Monday only) ?
    because it does say on the first post "only one entry per e-mail address" :confused:
    Is it too late to enter for Monday's draw? I don't get it :money:

    No, it's not too late. On Monday there was only one password published. You need four passwords to enter. Therefore it was impossible to enter on Monday unless you were psychic. There is one closing date (12/12) for all 7 entries you can do with one e-mail address.

    I've entered one for everyday, with 4 passwords and one prize in the subject line.
    Not sure if thats right or wrong but hey ho, you never know.
