    Any ideas as to why the max. number of 'phone calls has gone up to 350? They don't generate revenue for Rayo, so why the increase? 
    they want us to purchase the "blocks" of entries win happy

    Because the maximum number on the pay route has gone up to 350 for £50 (the old price of £40 still gets 200 entries) and they have to offer the same number of entries via the "free" route - If the £50 price point doesn't prove popular they may not keep it - perhaps just offering the 350 for £40 instead (you would have to value your time at almost nothing to make that many phone calls)

    EDIT - had an e-mail offer for 50% off everything so 350 entries for £25

    Yes there have been a few winners from here that have won previously using the free telephone entry method. Have a look through the I Won section to find them https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/i-won-i-won-i-won

    Thank you mjm3346, I should have noticed this. It reminds mo a sign in the window of a motor factor near me; "If All Else Fails, Read The Instructions"  :):smiley:
