Comping Blues

I've had a bit of a rubbish year with comping, my (not quite) wins are as follows:

1. Won a £25 voucher from an America blogger for Xbox, she sent it and it didn’t work because it was the wrong region. She apologised but said she would re-draw from the American entries. She then retrospectively changed the competition rules to say USA only. Annoying.
2. Won a Soda Streamer from a mag daily, but it never arrived. I chased and heard nothing back. Then I spotted on here yesterday that someone said make sure you house number is in the address on your account for mag dailies as some have been cut out since they updated. I diligently went through all the sites adding in my house number until I got to the one from the Soda Streamer page and spotted that it wasn’t just my house number missing, it was an address from two years ago. Eek, and totally my own fault. Moral of the story, make sure your details are up to date on the Mag Daily sites. 
3. Two weeks ago I won £25 Uber Eats voucher on the 7up instant win. It said a voucher would be sent within 7 days, I’ve heard nothing. I didn’t take a screen shot either. D’oh.

So it has been a dry year and I realise some of it is my fault. Please send me some comping luck for the rest of the year. 

Don't forget to check your spam box for the Uber eats voucher as may be in there, my apologise if you have already done that. I hope you get it sorted xxx

Thanks for pointing that out. I've checked mine and found most of them were missing the house number. I did have a mag daily win a month or two back and it was luckily one that still had the house number. I'd hope that if they had an address, but no number, they'd email, but you never know.

Thanks for pointing this out @chocoholic123, I'd never have known otherwise but will check the next time I visit each of the sites.
Sorry to hear about your missing prizes but hope you enjoyed the Chinese meal. Sending you lucky dust from the Dreaming Spires and hope to hear that things have picked up soon, goldfinches.

@goldfinches thank you  the takeaway really did cheer me up. Sometimes it doesn't need to be a big prize, but it gave me a bit of a boost.

Oh no, I’m sorry you’ve been feeling blue! Keep the faith, I’ve started to not believe I’ve really won something until it’s arrived unless it’s something crazy big like a Bauer win. 

I hope you get some lush wins soon, it’s quite a rewarding hobby even when the wins are few and far between! 😊

I won a comp daily a month or so ago and afterwards I though I'd better check the address on my accounts. Every single one of them had the house number missing. The prize arrived with my full address on it. It's not the sort of mistake that I would make and I just assumed they hid the number for security purposes.
