    Does anyone know if the letters need to be posted, as was going to stick on a blank label & reuse the envelope on some postal comps

    Would they be able (or bothered) to compare the QR code on the stamp between the picture and their system? I think I am correct that each stamp has a unique QR code?

    Based on the competition rules we just need to take a pic of the letter etc & attached it to the entry.  Nothing about posting it to the name recipient

    And for the 5 a day it can be the same recipient!  Just 5 different looking cards.  And the photo can be of a stamp that hasn't been peeled off as they wouldn't know if it still has the back on it or not.

    And you don't need to stick on your blank label as they won't know if it is stuck on or just placed on the top.

    Not a well thought through competition!

    I think the competition was aimed at people sending christmas cards to people around the uk family members etc and adding an incentive
