    I have called the number again and asked what hotel it was and they said it was The Holiday Inn, Nuremberg, Germany.

    Can anyone remember any competition for this?

    Has anyone else had this?

    Hello Everyone,

    Just wondering if anyone has any tips regarding the regular comps board... I have been entering the daily comps on Gillas list but would like to start doing the weekly/monthly comps.

    How do you keep up with them? theres so many to do I think I would get confused as to when I need to enter each one..

    Its easy with the dailies because I just work my way through the list everyday, but i don't think there is a monthly and weekly list is there?

    Thanks

    Further to this, I have had another missed call today while I'm in work from the same number, this time a voicemail was left in German :confused:

    Does anyone know the Holiday Inn's main headoffice enquiry number?

    I very rarely bother with the regular comps board as depends on how much time I have spare. There are enough normal comps on the main board to keep me going:D The only daily comps I am doing at the moment are Luminoso, Batteryforce, Navanti, Mpora shoes, Handbag shoes and also do Kingolotto every day

    When I did the daily comps everyday, I had them all as direct urls in favourites. Had a "daily" "weekly" and "done April,May, etc " folder. I did the weekly ones either Monday or Tuesday, and the monthly ones I did any time, just shifted them to the done month when I had entered them. quite easy to keep track that way. I am at my sons in Marseille at the moment, so only doing a few.
    By putting the direct url in favourites, it means you can bypass the daily links, and do them if the MSE site is down, or running slow. Hope this helps.
    Be prepared to spend a lot of time keeping up though.:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Edit correction ~ be prepared to sacrifice your life to comping :rotfl:
    Good luck

    I have been a comper on and off for a few years,
    ive only really won two things a £500 thomson voucher and an airwick goodie bag...

    this last month I have been entering them all, but yet to recieve anything and i was wondering wether it is worth it, every day i see people on the I won board getting WEM's, i havnt had one...

    last week including that monster 30/6 list i entered over 1400 competions...

    Is it still too early to get myself down over not winning anything, any winners out there can tell wether they get most of their winning emails on the day after the competion closes or wether prizes turn up wenever they feel like it...

    I suppose im just getting bored of entering too many competitions, to log on daily and find nothing but spam lol :confused:

    It took about 4 - 6 weeks for my first win to arrive. Some comps notify you within a few days of it closing, others take ages/months. I received a DVD from an Empire competition last week - it was from a comp that closed in the middle of April. Also with some comps I was notified soon after the competition closing but the prize took a month to arrive (or has still not arrived yet....ggrrrr Glamour mag!).
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j
