The page won't load fully so I can't see the comp at all

Sometimes they have a link to click if the page doesn't load, but I don't see it here, anyone else spot it?

Opened fine for me

Here's a question from the Sports Joe Quiz no. 250:

"In what country are the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo taking place?"

Come on, Joe. You can do better than that.

I remember somebody on The Chase thinking Tokyo was in China so some people will probably get caught out.

Just getting around to it now. Very googleable so far. Would love the kmix but tis a rare comp where the runner up prizes are all quite decent. Crossing fingers now!

Condaris

@gormal just out of interest, how many wins do you get in an average month? You find so many comps!

Did anyone else win the M&Ms One4All voucher a few weeks ago and have you received it if so? I haven’t received mine and I’m not sure what to do.

Just to say that Finally ; two months after my lovely winning phonecall , after persisting against terrible customer service, daily phonecalls, messages, tweets, emails ,...my winning 65" TV has been delivered! Moral of the story; if you won a prize- keep chasing it!!!

To be fair 2 months isn't that long. 28 days is the normal amount before I would start chasing and at the moment extra time would be expected. Why was there so much need to chase out of curiosity. I have chased prizes for months and one thing took over a year to get sorted, which was the worst and thankfully not the normal. I have won loads of prizes over the years and thankfully it is rare to have to chase. So just curious why you had so much contact, had they said it had been sent weeks ago or what was the issue?

When they called to confirm the first line of my address, they told me I would get a shipping notice emailed in a few days, so when I heard nothing for weeks I was getting suspicious, the fact our old tv was on the way out too didn't help my patience!

Ah I know it is annoying when you are waiting every day and thinking it will come. Who did you win it with.

“ Sorry. The promotion is only open from 02/11/2020 - 29/11/2020.”

Got this when I went to enter the GIFT competition. Feel like I’m the only one on here that didn’t win from this despite entertaining 5 times a day since it started

I didn't win either, I entered every day on two phones. I think they might ring some more winners Monday though from Saturday's entries

I was entering 5 times per day on two phones and didn't win either!

I just noticed with the Tesco comp. On the terms it says on one part there is only one entry per person and in the terms further town it says one entry per day. So that is obviously what is causing the issue. It is only one entry but again who every posted the terms on the company website didn't update it and just copied and pasted a previous post.

I think I won a "Reindeer Ready" jumper on the McDonald's competition, on the basis of a delivery notice from dpd.

Delighted with that, and thank you for posting (sorry, on the mobile and find trying to search a thread impossible)

Anyone enter the Muffin Sisters competition, it subscribed you to a newsletter. All grand, just normal but after the competition I tried unsubscribing 5 times now. Having to just block them as they won't remove me

I had the same problem. 3 or 4 emails a day and tried unsubscribing 5 times. Very annoying.

Firstly I'm listing them for you guys on the thread. I don't enter half of them


But I win at least 3 a month and I'm happy with that.



I'd say my Karma is balanced

fritzelly

Three a month - I'd be happy with once a month or two

But so many thanks for all the work you do for the thread
