Did you do this over the weekend? There was an issue with their phone lines capping at 100, but by Monday they claimed it was fixed :)

Ah yes I did them over the weekend so that will be why! Thanks - looks like I’ve got a lot more phone calls to make 😬

Same here. I made the maximum at the time100 allowed calls, over the weekend.
So now I have less than 3 days to make another 300 calls, oh joy!😑
I much prefer Global's radio competition where you can win similar large amounts, also on a Friday just after 5pm, but they limit you to 12 calls per day.

Anyone who entered over the weekend (when it was capped to 100 entries) - please just be aware that me and others on the current comp post have found that our weekend entries don't seem to have been counted.
I've done well over 500 entries before hitting the maximum, 100 over the weekend and 400 since Monday morning (there's always a few failures for me)
So it looks like Bauer may have discarded the weekend entries - get some in now if you haven't done any entries since the weekend issue was sorted.Best win ever: Trip to the Galapagos Islands in 201011 -
I had a reply from Rayo Support today that I'll quote below:
''Our tech team are doing some work on the system to identify people using assistance/apps etc to make entries for them instead of making the individual calls. Everything will be back to normal soon''
I personally don't believe this. If you (for example) use the Apple shortcuts app to call the MMAW number 100 times consecutively and use the comma method, there is no definitive way they can identify and police this. They are scaremongering. I'm open to other points of view but I don't see how it's possible.

I hope they haven’t discarded entries made over the weekend, I made 53 to get a head start. I have stopped using the comma method. Also I have had a few calls where it’s told me I’ve dialled the wrong number!

I saved a few entries to enter the Tesco 2-3pm part of MMAW. When I reached what should have been my 400 I have found that I am now approx 25 entries over what should have been my 400.
It looks likely that the 100 entries I did before the technical problems that had to solved to enable 400 entries have resulted in the deletion of previous entries. I have emailed them but ploughing on with what I now expect will another 100!0 -
On the bright side, lots more entries to the Tesco draw!
Edit: Ah, forget that, just read the terms again:
Each entrant will receive one entry into the additional draw, regardless of how many times they enter.
