    No sorry.I rung back yesterday and was told that the supervisor would ring me back within 20 mins,I'm still waiting. :mad: If this was a few isolated cases I would have thought they would deal with it but I do wonder just how big a problem this actually is.

    Don't forget there are something approaching 10 million packets of Walkers Crisps sold every day. Granted not everyone will enter this competition, but the odds of winning the I-pod are not very favourable.

  • same thing has been happening to a lot of us it seems. I agree, it's very unfair & there seem to have been a lot of probs throughout the whole of this competition :(

    I had a good few multi packs (24) in the house over the month of September and origianlly tried random times with about 5-10 codes a time but failed and having entered 20 codes in one slot and all failing I gave up even bothering to enter anymore. Last few days the crisps have been eaten and the packs binned without even bothering to enter the codes.

    Off topic to the original post as all the times I've entered codes the emails have come back in the next slot but thought I'd just post my views.

    i entered one of my codes online at 3pm and had an email back saying "We are sorry your entry into the Walkers iPod mini draw at 00:00 on 03 October was unsuccessful this time."

    makes you wonder why you bother!!!!

    Just bear in mind my remarks about 10 million bags of Walkers being sold everyday and work out the odds!
