just adding the offerson link which also leads to this comp as i almost posted it again before i had entered and realised it was a competition box comp too (and thus a search of competitionbox found it)

Cheers.
Is offerson a comp portal or connected to competitionbox/post office.I've steered clear of their comps as I was a bit unsure of them.

ETA: just checked a known name on here popped up........... Lee McGarrigal

Still steering clear :-)

So is the competition in the OP ok to enter or is it one that is likely to generate even more spam than usual, in your opinion, please?

The more info people have, they can then make an informed choice on whether to enter, or not.

i havent a clue, was only adding the link because it went to the same comp.

i dont actually remember how i ended up there now but if i can do it then others can too and having the link means hopefully wont be duped.

i dont think it required any details before getting to the competition box page which is the same page as in your op.

and thanks, ill steer clear of them in future (though i have no idea who the bloke is that you seem familiar with?)

as far as i am/was aware competition box is a legit site though fairly new. i want to say its linked to the post office, but i have no idea why i think that. given that weeowens posted it originally and is usually pretty good at knowing which sites are spam and which are not id trust it.

From their website:

The new Competition Box website opens up exciting Post Office® competitions to the whole UK public that were previously only available to existing customers and members.

Offerson is nothing to do with the site posted in the OP.In my view it is just a comping/offer portal a bit like many others on the 'net today.
In my view they have added this comp to their site to add credibility & increase traffic.
No offence to purplecatlover but I have no idea why it was added to this comp thread.It is the same as me adding a link to a Loquax/Prizefinder or HUKD deal comp on a MSE comp thread.The addition seems to have just served to confuse some & increase the traffic of a somewhat minor site.
With regard to spam ab.da54 thank you for your concern.Without blowing my own trumpet I think I'm reasonably au fait in comp posting & will try to carry on in that regard.
I think the link in the OP is well backed up with credentials:
