Hi, I know you have helped before but I can't search to check a competition. I know I entered one with the Bier Company and have received a wining email but I wanted to double check, but search doesn't make any sense. Can I have idiot proof instruction on how to use the search function please, the old way was so easy.
Thanks
Thanks
Think it's about time the comping fairy remembered where I am! lol

I couldn't find it here but I have also got this email and it's an April Fool joke. The code for the free beer for life is April Fools backwards. I don't know how anyone could possibly find this funny and no idea why the company would think this is a good idea unless it's that 'any publicity is good publicity' mentality?!Many thanks to everyone who posts competitions and works so hard to provide all the answers!
Best wins this year so far: £100 Hobbycraft Voucher, £50 cash, GoPro Camera2 -
I got the email too and think they could get into a lot of trouble for fraud. I didn’t realise it was a joke, as it is a competition that they run, I entered the code on their website and it took my basket total down to zero. It was only when I saw in small writing that my credit card would be charged a monthly fee of £22.99 that I thought something was off. How many people will it have caught out? An April fools joke is that they’re making weird flavoured beer, not that you’ve won a competition!!!*** Thank you to everyone that posts ***4

Thank you @kittycatty - got it.
Wow, the email definitely says 'a free subscription to the Bier Club for the rest of your life' and I see the code gets you a month off but then at payment stage there's a small 'Recurring payments, £22.95 every month' note.
A lot of people could be taken in by this. Thank you for flagging it here.3 -
