Just got contacted again. Now they are asking me for my date of birth to claim my prize!prettyxcool wrote:Yeah, at this rate, definitely won't! hehe. I always get told I have won and then get half the prize!Sunny Saver wrote: But you got the runner-up prize??? I told OH you won tickets to Edible Cinema. He said 'does she get to eat a chair?'. Don't give up your day job eh!

The prizes were 1 winner get Edible Cinema plus goodies and 2 runner ups get goodies only. So when they say I have won, naturally I thought I was the winner. If I was the runner up surely they would say you were the runner up? Feels like a con, no one else has thanked them for winning or being runner up! Not really bothered about the runner up prize, an apron and a spatula!
I won....

Re: I won....
Well done Yinster
that was a good variety of prizes in a short space of time. You seem to be really lucky - I haven't won anything for ages. How many comps on average do you enter in a week??? Must be a lot - you are in it to win it!! Don't crunch your way through the Kettle crisps at the cinema or McG will not be happy!

Re: I won....
I enter quite a bit perhaps an average of a couple of hours a day but then the way I see it if I am online I could be spending the time playing a game or entering a competition. Usually most only take a few minutes to enter either by RT or entering my details. Though I prefer the effort ones just to challenge my mind. I only enter for prizes I like or can use. No point in entering everything.biggins wrote:Well done Yinsterthat was a good variety of prizes in a short space of time. You seem to be really lucky - I haven't won anything for ages.

Re: I won....
I don't spend as much as two hours a day on comps. I find a lot of comps are for things I wouldn't use so don't bother and also don't use twitter. But as McG says if you are entering so may comps you deserve to win.Yinster wrote:I enter quite a bit perhaps an average of a couple of hours a day but then the way I see it if I am online I could be spending the time playing a game or entering a competition.

Re: I won....
Well done Yinster!
I won dinner for 2 and a bottle of bubbly, and the denofgeek screening of The Equaliser!
Agree with Yinster. Tweets and RTs are easy comps!
