congrats...

That's a goody! 'Grats

Wow @Inwithachance that's a great win. Very 'cool'! Congrats!

Oooh nice prize, stay cool

Interesting @jennye. I'm a 'lazy' comper too. If there's too many hoops to jump through, I tend to leave them alone, but having said that, it all depends on the prize. For instance, I wouldn't 'tag 20 people, share the post 572 times, and stand on my head in the corner' just to win a scented candle or movie tickets. But if it was to win an overseas trip with spending money, then I'd seriously consider jumping through said hoops. At the end of the day, comping is my hobby, and if it ever becomes a chore, then I'll know it's time to give away. I have enough 'useless things' in my house and filling my drawers and cupboards, so I don't bother with things that will end up being thrown on the pile of 'stuff I really didn't want' :-)

Well said, I feel the same way!@roobycat

Yes I've noticed that too Lillith. I've skimmed past many comps as when I've scrolled down comments, some have tagged 20+ people (and usually the same people all tagging each other). And especially when you see it in multiple comps on Facebook. It just takes the fun out of it, when they're obviously just wanting to win it for the sake of winning it. And yes, certain names become very familiar. I've taken a few photos for comp entries too, but not often unless it's something I'd really like. I much prefer the 'one entry only' 25WOL comps. They seem a lot fairer so I stick to those mainly. I can't be bothered with politics :-)

i am with you roobycat!!

Same Lillith. And I especially love when the promoter posts the winning answer. That's when I think WOW, I've got LOT to learn if I'm gonna win these things lol Some are just amazingly clever and well deserved wins! And yeah, when I don't win, I just know to try a bit harder next time. It's all a learning curve

:-) Trevsta. Good to hear I'm not the only one that it bugs lol

Jen, fancy that! Yes, I guess it would depend on the prize on offer. For a life changing chance to win - or even a much needed short-term cash boost, sure, I'd be up for it! :-)

@toxicgherkin Thought you might!

congrats...

@bubble936 : )

Worth a try - usually works for me. Three wins (although small) this week!

I whinged yesterday - NOTHING! SO here it is again ... WHINGE WHINGE WHINGE

I whinge ALL the time and haven't won a comp this year :(

congrats...

Cool where from?

Congrats!

Who doesn't love a pun haha congrats :D

Well done, it's always hard to tell what they're looking for!

@Inwithachance it was a Facebook competition. I'm so glad I've decided to embrace the FB comps - they've been quite lucrative.

You, Movie Tickets? NEVER! : ) Congrats Popcorn JulieD!

Congrats!

wow ..congratulations..

Nom nom nom!

Enjoy, love chocolate!

Well done...I saw your name on fb as a winner well done

Couldn't be a nicer combination for Mother's Day Congrats!

Whingers are Winners lol - I hope you win some awesome prizes and ASAP....I can't believe the amount of Mothers Day comps I've entered and was hoping to win a little something but nothing as yet, there is always tomorrow, Happy Comping and Win Big Big Big :)

Lol exactly! As I said, whenever I whinge on here, I win a few things, so here's hoping!! Yes Mothers Day comps EVERYWHERE, but most asking the same questions 'why does your Mum deserve this'. I won a $300 beauty pack, and an Endota Spa voucher, so I left them alone after that haha. Good Luck @bops18!!

Interesting because "technically"under Facebook terms of use Promoters are not allowed to ask people to "like and share" or "tag a friend" yet so many companies do. In fact nearly all of them and they encourage it to promote their brand. I think the onus is back on the promoter to stop asking people to do it in the first place not that that will ever happen.....! Hope everyone has a fantastic and lucky day!

Yeah interesting, Also Facebook updated their platform in November 2014 and the rules say that Promoters can't ask you to like their page in order to enter a competition. Yet most do and to be honest I like them anyway because I like their competition. Promoters are a creative lot and on a mission to get their product out there and tend to gloss over the rules a bit.

From Facebook competitions Dos and Don'ts.......

"You can collect entries either by having people post on your page or like/comment on a PAGE POST by sending a message to your page; or by utilising likes as a voting mechanism. What you cannot do, however, is ask users to share a post on their own timelines or the timelines of their friends or tag themselves in a picture they are not depicted in."

I agree with most of you ^^^^ I back out of those comps too, as even just yesterday I saw someone who'd tagged about 30 people in a row. I also HATE 'the most likes wins' comps. There's people that PAY on other sites for their votes. And as for 'you must share', I click out of them as well. My Facebook is my way of keeping in touch with family and friends, I'm not going to spam them all with competition tags. But there is a lot of people who only use Facebook for comping, so each to their own, but it does make it harder to win things, unless you want to irritate crap out of Facebook friends. It's also very rare to NOT see 'you must share this to be entered in the competition'. Ummm, no I must NOT, so seeya later. I can see page owners points in trying to get their product out there, but annoying people, isn't the way to do it. Anyway, like I said, each to their own

@roobycat We think alike. I only 'share' with my sister which probably negates my entry anyway. If I tagged all my friends they would choke me!

I was put off FB comps all together at first but have decided my friends have no qualms about posting photos of their dinner or endless motivation memes so I am ok with sharing. I back out of the tagging thing though because I don't have any friends who are understanding enough to be singled out.

Yes @TinaC I agree totally and interestingly enough is IS banned . Facebook says that promoters can have their business facebook pages cancelled if they ask people to like,tag or share in a competition but enforcing it is another thing.

congrats...

@bubble936 GL 2 u! : )

There'll be a bright little face out there!

112 wins!! Wow. Congrats:-)

That has happened to me once before. I won a double pass to a movie that was only playing limited sessions at maybe 2 cinemas in Brisbane. I gave them to my sister who lived close to one of the cinemas but the movie ended within a week of me getting the tickets and so they were never used. I have won tickets to Testament of Youth but have not received them yet and it is only playing at a few select cinemas. I am hoping to get those before it stops showing.

Ha. I just found an email telling me I'm a winner. It came yesterday, so my mistake. The apologised for the delay and hope that I might still get to use the tix.

I don't enter them either. I know they'll go to waste and I'd rather someone that will use them, win them. That's bad form though if, like you, you WERE going to use them. No point giving them away! lol

congrats .... i have visited three stores in our area but this competition is not advertised there - so not able to enter... great prizes - enjoy..

You can still enter. As long as you purchase one of the Kellogs cereals from any Woolworths and go online to kellog's and enter your details, the receipt number and the barcode. The list of participating cereals is on the website. This is the last week to enter.

Quite the Sweep! Congrats!!

Wow, kaybee. Enjoy!

Congrats...well done

Nice collection!

Great prize!

Lol! Wow! You're cleaning up!

Thanks everyone. I don't think I have ever one more than 1 prize in a comp before so to win 3 is amazing.

The spa voucher was what I was hoping for. I won a $100 Endota one from MasterCard last week in their current Facebook comp, so was hoping to add this to it. Maybe next week lol although I haven't entered again yet. I'm happy with the Rebel sport $50 voucher from Kelloggs though

congrats...

Good to see you are still on your roll inwithachance. Some good prizes. :)

Nice one!

Ummm I have Sunday's Melbourne Herald Sun. Is it in that? I'd normally have thrown them out by now too, but I kept this one bcause of the new princess being born lol so you're lucky! Do you know where in the paper the code word is?

Found it. Funnily enough, the codeword is 'MUM' :-)

@roobycat Thank you so much! Mum, very appropriate.

No problems :-)

congratulations...

@bubble936 : )

congrats...

Enjoy!

Cool! Tickets are your forte!

congrats..

Nice one!

Carna ROOS!!!! :P

Enjoy!

Well done!

wow - cool....congrats..

Congrats again!

Kidspot, Mouths of Mums, Mum to Five (Blog), Motherpaedia, Family Capers, ABC for Kids, KZone (magazine), Just Kidding,,,here's a few for a start. Good Luck. I haven't had to buy anything for mys grandkids in over a year!

Essential Kids.

Wow Jenny! Thank you so much! I seemed to see heaps when I wasn't looking for them! Lol I'll check those out. Thanks inwithachance! I have no idea what 6 year olds are into, but I'll work it out lol

If you are not against buying magazines then "Little Angels", "Total Girl" and "Puzzle Fun for Kids" have great prizes in them. My girls used to win regularly from them when they were younger. At 6 my girls were into Barbie, My Little Pony and Little Pet Shops. I am not sure if it has changed much in the last 6-8 years. Good luck!

Thanks for that kaybee! I'm So out of touch with little ones lol. I know Frozen is all the go at the moment but that's ALL I know lol. Been a long time for me lol. I'll definitely look out for those mags. Just funny that for so long I ignored kids comps and now a whole new world has opened. Thank you!

Oh yeah! Disney princesses! How could I forget that! I loved the kids comps. I still enter some in my youngest daughter's name (she is 12) or else I use all my little niece and nephews as an excuse to enter.

Lol I'm actually having fun searching and checking out the ones people have so kindly told me about! My daughter is 27 so it's been a looong long time since I had a little girl lol. But her boyfriend has a 6 year old, and I'm OVER THE MOON to 'be a nanna'. I'm only 45, so still young enough to play haha

My niece is also pregnant with twins, due in June, so I'm also searching for baby comps, but I haven't seen any for TWO babies lol. Not much point entering to win just one of something lol

Could also try Bub Hub and School Mum....

Thank you fourleaf. I've been having fun looking! haha

congratulations ...

@bubble936 GL to you!

Lovely!

Congrats!

Congratulations!!

congrats...

Congrats I got the Sugar Sweetener book too, surprisingly interesting.

Nice:)

Congrats - what a great treat to come home to.

Thunderbirds are GO. F.A.B. :-)

Thank you all, good luck with all your comps!

Congrats!

Yay!

Brilliant !

Nice work - that will keep ev1 entertained :)

cool prize...well done!!!

Well done and congratulations!

@TinaC thanks for the heads up, much appreciated. Looks like I didn't read the "t&cs" properly....silly me! Lol.

@tobybee, have you viewed any May-posted competitions? Backtracking to view last month's comps will not kickstart your points counter in the new month. Once you view a May-posted competition then your carryover points will kick in. There is also a May 2015 mini-iPad competition (200 points to your tally by viewing/entering it). If the link is not visible on the main page, look at the Guessing Game page - once you enter your number/s, the link will appear. It does seem though that you've done your dash for daily logins for Days 1 and 2. :-(

hi. You have to view a competition that has been added this month

Thanks for that,but I have played the guessing game daily as well as viewed several comps and nothing is showing with points at all...

@diann, if you head to the Guessing Game tab (which I see you've played today), above your select numbers you'll see a hyperlink to the mini iPad competition. I couldn't see the comp otherwise on the first page of the comps page. Hopefully this helps.

After completing the guessing game there is a link to the mini ipad competition, I was also confused as to where it was as well.

@Urd Ahh the competition has expired, sorry i forgotten the link there. New competition coming soon!

thanks guys :)

I can't see link anywhere today. Even though I've clicked and entered on it for may in previous days

@admin I seem to have lost my 200 points?

Same @admin

Same @ admin
Now they're back but I've gone from 500 odd points to 400 odd?
Confusing

Is the ipad mini comp gone now :(

Looks that way :-/ @bops18 I think admin forgot to remove link at start of May... But it's gone now!

Not as yet, Mamma... still hoping...one day.....

No :-( I'm slightly skeptical about these guys

@Tiesha.. there do appear to be winners. It's often difficult to research the company behind the 'Brand', customers views/reviews, site's credibility rating data etc. For the moment I have no reason to doubt them, and enter in the (futile) hope that one day I might too win a prize. Until then.......not holding my breath... ;-)

Congrats :)

yeah i think i use to do their comps but was unsure of them as well

Aww, someone's going to hold the crown of favoured grandparent..... just saying... lol.. Cute win. Congratulations.

Congrats again!

congrats

cuute

Nice prize

liked. good luck!

Good Luck - Just liked for you

Thanks for letting me know i think this will attach the image

Thanks everone who has voted ;)

Liked! Good Luck!! : )

Hi @Nassep have added a like to your picture.

Done

Voted!

thanks everyone that is great

It closes this thursday so anymore votes would be so much appreciated http://www.camerahouse.com.au/competition.aspx#view=vote&for=7106673

Voted I think :)

Pearly Whites Congrats!

I seem to have weeks on end with nothing, then a heap of wins in a row. I wish it was more regular lol

I have weeks on end with nothing.. Then weeks on end with nothing ! :-)

Congrats!

Cheeky buggers! Id send a message to this person. That's just rude. But then, one thing I've realised, is that not all compers are nice or honest. Some are just cheating, bitter, nasty liars. I cant be bothered with catiness

@Tiesha, that comper's name rings a bell with me. @Inwithachance, I recall this user was in the hat competition you were trying to win for a mate who was in need of some cheering up. The accompanying pic for the entry was lifted from the net...

His name rings a bell with me too .. I checked out his FB page and it's all posted comps
He might do this as a habit??
Left a message on the post but whether he sees it or not .. I will be on the lookout for his name now!
Cheeky cheater

How rude! Hope he doesn't win too much off other peoples answers.. wow!

That's hideous, maybe contact the company that the comp was for and let them know that this person stole your entry (even though it is a while ago) maybe they can blacklist this person. This person wins quite a few competitions and it sounds that he is a serial answer stealer, not good at all.

Today when I get a chance I am leaving him a message on his FB page and then contacting Tom Organics about him cheating in their comp
Bugger it.. He shouldn't get away with it!
Happy comping people.. Mind the cheaters ;-)

what a cheeky prick, unbelievable!

Mind you.. Fancy stealing an answer which was ....A: Half assed and B: set out very differently from others answers where they generally used paragraphs?!? Never mind
He'll come undone

Yes I agree with all the comments. To me I get kick out of the fact that my own original answer won. That's part of the fun of winning and part of the prize to me. How he can do that I don't know. I'll certainly be keeping an eye out. Great answer Tiesha!

@TinaC My hubby isn't on FB and I hadn't even thought of doing something like that. I enter comps for fun, it's a bit of a thrill to win something but I wouldn't feel the same if I won something in a 'rubbery' way. Happy comping x

Thanks for the compliment guys.. re: my answer!
But yes @TinaC I thought it was half assed because I barely put 2 minutes into it.
Poor soul to not have a brain to come up with an answer on his own!!
Who is this woman we should be aware of @TinaC ? Or would you prefer not to say?
:-)

@TinaC wow... I know there are many cheaters out there but the thought of having an account in hubby's name and then using it to gain extra entries just wouldn't be right, I have enough trouble finding the time with just my account let alone running 2 fb accounts lol. Hubby isn't on facebook - Dad is and funnily enough he said he saw someone copy an exact answer and thought he was going nuts when he read it twice. Good Luck comping - at least we know we all enter fairly so we all deserve to win BIG.

Haha.. No worries @TinaC ;-)
And yes @Bops18.... We deserve to win big!! I'm a bit over the comps sometimes though... I even missed my daily visit points etc yesterday!

Yes count me in on that one. I've just made three attempts to get to work tonight. There's
a creek just about to break it's banks and it's roaring. I know I'll never make it back home.
Also took 1 and a half hours to drive two klm.

Lol where are you kaybee? My daughter is up in Brisbane at the moment at her boyfriends, and I text her before to be safe and she wrote back 'yes it's raining, but all good. We're about to hail a boat, and go out for dinner'. Lol

Where are you fourleaf. I am on the southside of Brisbane but it took my husband nearly 2 hours to get home from work when it usually takes him 10mins. All the local roads were cut and he eventually drove through one that wasn't too deep to get back. Hope your daughter has a good night roobycat. The worst of the rain seems to have stopped now but the roads are a mess!

Yes kaybee72 I'm on the south side of Brisbane too, what a mess last night your right.
Then this morning the sun is shining....

That's funny. Sometimes we do the "What would be your dream prize" thing on this forum, but I think we should do kaybee72's version. "I want to win a...because...". Like "I want to win a new TV because there's nothing worth watching on this one".

You might be onto something. Sometimes I prefer practical prizes to luxury ones!

They are reset every month :-)

Why do a couple of members have points for May Ipad comp then?

Congrats @julieellenv

Congrats

I've noticed only 4 members have iPad points @bamf
And I've entered it today.. After initially being told I'd already entered today. Hopefully it will get sorted soon :-)
Congrats @julieellenv!!

@Tiesha they are from links in emails to the competition. . We'll be removing them as the comp has ended. .

@admin I'm not quite sure what that means , but ok. :-) points have now come through.

Hi Admin. That's the first time I've seen an announcement on here for Ipad winner. Thanks for posting.

Congrats to the winner, what an awesome prize!!

Congratulations.

@admin - i noticed the top 10 on the leaderboard all have ipad comp points - was there a new comp added that i cant find?

Congrats on the win @julieellenv :)
Looking forward to the next comp you guys run.
Would be cool if the next prize was like a Coles/Myer Gift Voucher or a Westfields Voucher.

I just saw one on facebook from Birdseye that ask for the funniest compliment you have gotten from your kids. I am not sure if that is the one you saw?

Hmmm no, it was definitely something funny your Mum had done when trying to help. Thanks anyway @kaybee, I didn't know about this one either! lol I'll probably find the one I'm after, the day after it closes lol

Can you go back and check your FB activity feed? @roobycat

Sheesh. Now why on earth didn't I think of that!!! Geez. Will do that tomorrow, but then, I didn't actually put anything on the page, so wonder if it will show??? Thanks though! Great idea!

I dont know why I thought of it either because I've never had to use it!
I gather it will show where you've been. Good luck :-) @roobycat

It finished yesterday. Winner will be announced soon, new comp coming soon too.

Why do other people have points then, just the first four on the leaderboard

@admin yes, I had the points this morning for the iPad promo, now they're not showing. I understand that it's been drawn but some on the leaderboard still retain those points. And the other night I viewed a user's tally who scored 68 for that daily logon....What the?

Congrats.

wow - great prize - congrats...

Nice handy win congratulations!

Good win!

Thanks guys! Yeah I'm really happy with this. I regularly buy a lot of it, so I'm stoked!

Wow that is awesome. Practical prizes are sometimes the best!

Wow! What a horde that was! Congratulations.

Yes. Very happy thank you! It's one set for me, and a set for my Mum. But if I don't tell her ........... lol!!

Love winning beauty packs as you're right, they're so expensive! Very awesome, enjoy!!

How awesome, I entered that and was so hoping for a win....such a wonderful prize to share.

Thanks all :-) yeah I'm nearly out of about 4 things in that photo, so now I won't need to blow $60 on buying them lol

That's such a nice thing to do... :)

Taken!

Thankyou Jenny.. Pop will be very happy..

Just put them in the mail......hope he enjoys!

lol

Yep, I'm on zero points??

At month's end, points reset to zero. In order to kickstart the points counter, you need to view as a minimum, one competition. Then your daily login, guessing game daily entry, and any carried over points (e.g. mini iPad competition for 200 points; completed profile 50 points etc) will then display, and your on your way for that month! Hope this helps.

Thanks :) I knew the points reset but didnt realise you had to click on one comp to kickstart it. :)

congratulations...

@bubble936 GL 2 u! : )

nice win mate!

Congrats!

Cool!

Cereal Prize Winner! You go girl! And may I say, with no disrespect intended, inferred or suggested, Gourmet Traveller magazine is international (and domestic) food porn! I redeemed loyalty points for a 1 year subscription several years back. I'd take the mag to work and read it at lunchtimes. IT rarely made it home again - snaffled up as my back was turned!!!! Food porn is HOT! Lol
