Hello everyone,
Are there any compers out there still waiting for prizes won 4/5 months ago or in the last 2 months?
I have been waiting for ages, for 5 prizes. Tickets(OK, the event was postponed so understandable), a win to an hotel in Northumberland for one night, with dinner(no notification from either the magazine or Hotel when I won and still none), a shark toy, sunglasses(which had a number of winners), and finally a paperb No show prizes months on ack book.
All these are no show, and not once was I contacted by the companies g No show prizes months on iving stuff away, or from the PR compani No show prizes months on es who run them.
Anyone experiencing the same, and do you know who I should contact?
Thank you for looking in. Keep safe!

I expect the staff who deal with this are either furloughed, or redundant, and giving stuff away will not be anywhere near the top of any company's 'to do' list in these unprecedented times.I’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Competition Time, Site Feedback and Marriage, Relationships and Families boards.

I won one night at Slaley Hall in Northumberland some months ago, heard from the magazine within a week and the hotel a few days later. I would get in touch with both the magazine and the hotel. Not sure about the others. But if you’ve not heard, how do you know you’ve won?2

Are you talking about prizes from daily mags? I regularly google my name and found it as a winner with Marie Claire for a £50 voucher back in Jan/Feb. I never had a wem and no prize ever arrived. I emailed the comp help back in May when I spotted it asking if it was me (my name is not that common) and they came back with a support ticket number saying it had been passed to the competition team. I've never heard anything else despite further emails from me which have been ignored. I've never had a problem with these comps before but have written this one off.0

I won a prize with the Daily Star. Was told it was being delayed in March. There is no acceptable excuse if the companies are sending out the sold products and not our prizes.GONE ENGLAND0

I’ve had it with both prizes I’ve won since May, one I had to chase a few times and has just arrived, the other still hasn’t but they do still respond to my emails so there’s still hope. It’s a bit disappointing with them being competitions started after Covid began.0

Hubby won a prize back in March. Keeps getting told the person who ran it is furloughed. Bit frustrating as the company are running more competitions again and have been for a while.2018 - £562 2019 - £130 2020 - £276 2021 - £106 2022 - £1400

I won some childrens books 2 months ago (No Bot, The Robot), I had an email and was asked to submit address which I did, I submitted again about 3 weeks later as hadnt heard anything and have now contacted them again - no response!!There were a number of winners and my name appears on the winners site!0

I have the same issue with googling my name and mag daily comp wins coming up. My name is quite common though, so unless it's a large prize I just wait to see if it arrives, and if not I write it off. Once it was £500 to spend on jewellery though, so I did chase that one, but suspect if I hadn't I would never have received it. Quite often there is no email notification for mag daily wins, they just (normally) arrive. I don't get hung up on not receiving prizes any more, and don't chase if they are small wins.
