Competitions Discussion Thread Part 5

To be honest....I just enter once. It's better that way.

Winning is pure luck anyway....so I don't tempt fate by maybe being disqualified.:beer:

My advice Alex is read the T&C's - ITV loose women, real deal 20/30 entries etc are the exception.

If it isn't mentioned in the terms then enter once - as it is better to be in the comp once than disqualified for multiple entries!

There are so many to enter multiple entries just take up too much time anyway!

Good luck!

Hi all,
Just checked my emails and the email containing all new threads from yesterday hasnt come through. I know this can happen occasionally, does anyone have it and can forward it to me? It will be much appreciated

There's been an ongoing issue with them since last year. I didn't get one last night either. I've emailed them and supposedly they're onto it (but that was about 1 month ago).

If you wish to add your voice email them at [EMAIL="webmaster@moneysavingexpert.com"]webmaster@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL]

I just emailed them again to chase it and noted the following dates didn't have the daily subscription email:
13/03, 12/03, 11/03, 09/03, 08/03, 07/03, 06/03, 04/03, 03/03, 01/03, 29/02, 27/02, 26/02, 25/02, 23/02, 22/02, 21/02,20/02.. so no pattern but hopefully it will help them identify the problem.

Thanks for this, i'll send them an email. If anyone else did get it could they pm me? Thanks

New to this but hence one concern..... By giving name, address, tel and email address will I not be inundated with spam ?

Always make sure you tick (or un-tick, as appropriate) the boxes which allow you to opt out of receiving spam.

Some competitions require signing up to a newsletter to enter, but you can always unsubscribe once you have entered.

I always use a separate 'disposable' hotmail or gmail address for registrations & competitions, just in case declining offers etc doesn't work

I think most of us have set up separate email addresses (e.g. a Hotmail account), as you'll find you sometimes have to subscribe to newsletters if you want to win something. I do get a fair amount of competition related email in my "separate" account, but it's easily deleted

Where possible I only give out my mobile number but, if necessary, I do include my home number and, no, I've never had a "nuisance" 'phone call, apart from one to say I'd won something Haven't noticed any increase in junk post either, but then again I've always had quite a bit and it goes straight into the recycling bin

I've been entering comeptitions for a couple of months now and am totally addicted!

A little tip ... if you haven't already got it, I'd purchase "Roboform" for about £15. Well worth it, as it will fill in all the online forms for you automatically.

Hope this helps to put your mind at rest and enjoy "comping"
