Congrats. Was that from the Take 5 Sweepon Sweepstakes?

Great win!

@MammaPigga84 1st time I've seen anyone on here Win from them. Cool.

Congrats!

@Inwithachance thanks

@fourleaf thanks

Ooh nice prize!

Nice! I love winning beauty stuff. I've discovered some things I wouldn't normally have bought, but now do!

congratulations...

Naturally wonderful win, of course! ;-)

Terrific win!

Listen I'm prepared to make you a serious offer for that Four Leaf Clover of yours. Gimme Gimme! Congrats! : )

Thanks all

Congrats. I've noticed on here when people say they haven't Won in a while, THAT'S when a Prize pops up. Enjoy the tickets!

Congratulations Jennye, nice win!

Congratulations. What did you win?

congrats...

@kaybee72 - 2 x Gold Class Movie Tix from a FB comp and a Mothers Day Book from Hatchette. Not much but I needed a kickstart as things were getting dire........

Enjoy!

Nice!

Lovely!

@Inwithachance Think I'll write a daily post "I'm in a drought".

@Jrob71 Seems to work. Nassep mentioned weeks ago that no Wins had happened then Won a $1000 Voucher from Melbourne Emporium? Jenny said it and look. Maybe . . .

Oooooh I hate when I have to chase things up. NO I wouldn't just keep waiting, I'd hound them, day in day out. I haven't heard of LIVETRIBE so really don't know who they are or how they operate, but if you have all the original emails etc saying what you're owed, I'd start maybe being 'not so polite' and mention that you want a definitive answer on when to expect them, or you'll be complaining to the gaming authorities. Fair's fair

Thanks for your advice @roobycat
I will take on your suggestions
I have all correspondence still and proof on their website I won as I'm in their winners list. You're right... Fair's fair!! :-)

@Tiesha, I won in their Easter promotion. Like you, I converted this to a cash amount, to be deposited into my bank account via PayPal. Promo's T&C indicated up to 60 days lead time. I'm anxious even though I know my waiting period has not been fully served! I want it now! Lol.

I know your win's lead time is different. Keep checking status by all means. Over the years I have found Live Tribe to be open in their customer service approach. As you're doing, just keep records of the correspondence and dates. Fingers crossed your gift cards arrive soon.

I've not won anything from Livetribe but I've claimed several EFTPOS cards and they have always come very promptly.

Thanks everyone. :-)
I will continue to email till end of next week and see what happens
Fingers crossed
Thanks again for all your help guys!

Like you @toxicgherkin I can't wait! ;-)

I'm catching those lucky vibes @inwithachance have given a few WOL a go too :-) congrats !

congrats

@Tiesha Good. You NEVER know what they'll pick as the Winner! Go to it! AND remember 99.9% of anything you Win is mine for the support & encouragement! :P

@bubble936 : )

Congrats again!

Hahaha.. @inwithachance Righto !! ;-)

I entered twice and got nuffin. Good odds my butt! lolol!! Congrats on your win!

Ooooooh there's hope for me yet. The emails today and yesterday are for Draw 1. I entered in draw 2!

Ok I entered twice for draw 1 and once for draw 2. At least with this comp the entries rollover into the next weeks draw. Good luck roobycat!

Well done

Oh really? So technically, it gets harder and harder to win each week. Oh well, I'll just keep on eating all this Special K I have lol!

Good Going!

Good win :-)

Nice win!

Email just now - $50 Rebel Sport voucher as well. Week 2 draw :-)

congrats ...

Cute. Well done

Well done - Loved paddington when I was young

Cute :-)

Congrats!

Welcome onboard, Banksy! Looking forward to hearing of your adventures (and wins)! Cheers!

Good Luck Mate!!

Hey Welcome!

Tips : Enter plenty!
Tricks : Give all your unwanted Prizes to me! :P

Good Luck! : )

Welcome to our world @BANKSY :-) Tips? - stick with it, even through the lean times. You never know what tomorrow will bring. And when a prize does arrive, it spurs you on more. Tricks? If you see it and would like/use it, enter it! I'm fussy with what I enter now, but start off entering everything you see if you like, and you'll soon learn how it all works. Then you can start to pick and choose. My rule is, if I'm only going to throw it in a drawer and not use it or give it to someone, then I'd rather someone else that will appreciate it, win it :-) good luck!

Read my blog. Lots of hints and tips and stories of great wins to motivate you.

What @roobycat and @jennye said!
Welcome aboard this friendly little community. And best of luck to you :-)

Don't forget to go local as well. Free suburban newspapers and shops run comps and your odds of winning are quite good. I've won movie tickets, makeup Hamper and $500 holiday voucher. Earlier this year a local foodland store ran a win a $10,000 cruise (ran for four weeks) and it was confined to that store only which was a surprise. One entry for purchasing any product with a star and they were small things like water crackers. When I went to place my entries the shop assistant didn't even know about the comp because no-one had placed any entries and that was after a week. (Barrel was tiny) Needless to say I got very excited but alas didn't win this one.

WOW - Sweet as all. Definitely a booster right here;)
Thanks for all the advice! :)

I shall check out your blog @Jennye
@Roobycat digging your idea about what you enter too !
@inwithachance - Mate I best win first, then perhaps I can sort through my unwanted items;0
@toxicgherkin - Adventures are always near, here is to hoping some are free in the form of a competition winner!!
Woah @fourleaf unreal Re: foodland comp

Yay! The sun has come up! Not tomorrow. Today!

Gosh, I never read winners lists. I figure they'd have let me know if I've won lol maybe I should start! Well done!

Lol@toxicgherkin! I discovered it completely by accident otherwise I guess I would only have found out when the parcel arrived.

Congrats @kaybee72 bring out the popcorn

Nice prize, well done

Great win @kaybee72

Thanks everyone

Chin up, Ms Jen! I'm confident the post has just been delayed. That's all... :-)

Whenever this happens I get slightly down too. Then Bingo, a surprise arrives and it's just like Christmas. It will happen soon I'm sure.

I'm the most impatient person you could ever meet. MANY times I've said nope, that's it, this sucks, it's a waste of time ..... BUT THEN!!! ... a parcel or email arrives, and it kicks me off again. I go on a competition frenzy and then it all happens again in a month or so lol like a roundabout

Sometimes I find it helps to have a break from comping and have a life for awhile. Eventually I get the bug back. Good luck.

Gorgeous pups!

Aww, I just want to pick them up and give them all lovely cuddles..... So sweet. :-)

Aww so sweet!

Snap @toxicgherkin your comment only appeared when I posted mine. Great minds think alike.

@kaybee72 Hey, that what I was thinking! Lol.

Good Luck to you!

Hope you win soon

Yes I agree and ones that ask for too much personal information I tend to stay clear of. There are a lot of competitions that are just opportunities for telemarketers to contact you.

The Aussie Lifestyle Survey has been a bit like that. Each iteration of the survey submitted, and there's another phone call....you're in the running.....would you be interested in.....blah, blah, blah.... Sheez!!! Lol

Yes, this one was from phone number 0280264067, so beware. It's a finance company.
Really annoys the poop outta me! GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!! mind you, these telemarketing ones have become a bit more obvious to me, so I just click out of them

Yep! Some of those marketeers get a bit persistent. I just say no thanks, can't talk I'm driving and ask them to remove me from their mailing list which they have to do.

Nice pick-up, Tiffster! Congratulations.

Good going!

Great movie!

Congrats and enjoy!

Thanks :D

Well done

I hope you get used to it! Congrats!!

Very lucky, I just did the maths, and I have entered for 95 weeks ! and never won. Have selected the lucky number a couple of times and someone has guessed earlier. Enjoy!

congrats :)

Some nice wins

Definitely back on track :-) congrats

Nice work! Congrats! x

Nice, what did you win or did I miss that? lol

Books, in their Mother's Day competition. They announced the promotion last Thursday on Facebook, for a 10 am start on the Friday. First 300 to choose a book and submit their details, secure a win. Six books up for grabs. No T&C visible but getting all six books was permitted it seems. Doubling up on the same book (as a test) was not. Residual stock, if any, can be secured by promo close (3rd May from memory).

I got one too. I didn't know we could get all 6. Oh, well, haven't got that much time for reading these days anyway...

congrats :)

Congrats!

Happy reading!

Oooooh I love those days where the notifications roll in. COngrats!

Awesome! Sounds like a nice prize.

Thanks, Jen. What a champ!

Thanks@jennye.Love reading your blogs.

Another, informative & helpful post!

I received a copy of Winning Way's by Jenny this week, and have powered through it. I recommend it to EVERYONE. It's filled with info, so easy to read AND entertaining. If you're looking for real tips on Winning, why go past Winning Ways? I've got my copy tucked neatly and safely away . . . do I need this Winning Edge? Let's just say, I've got my copy, & I'm keeping it! : )

That's great Jenny! SO many truths. I too always wonder why they need my birth date, and depending on the prize, I wonder if they do target a certain age bracket for these prizes. Ie: do they really want to send a couple in their mid 40's to a rock concert? Do they really want to send a couple of 18 year olds to a 5 star hotel with dinner and drinks?
I entered a Channel V comp for my daughter, which was tickets to a Triple J music festival in Melbourne, and included accommodation (flights forfeited because we are in Vic).
My daughter couldn't attend, so I asked promoter if I could take the prize, to which they agreed. I still wonder if it was targeted to her age bracket. WE had a great day, but it really was a younger crowd. But I'm grateful they allowed me to accept it, as many promoters don't!
As for the Facebook comps, I've won quite a few of these, but I HATE the 'you must share' ones. Yes it's against the rules, but it's still rampant. And it just clogs up your news feed. If it's something I would reallllllly like, I do occasionally share, but if its not something that excited me, I scroll past

@roobycat I agree with you about the birth dates and age brackets. I wonder how many entries are drawn and discarded if the entrant does not meet the demographic. I suppose it depends on the integrity of the company.

Yes when filling it in and I get to the DOB part, I glance back at what the prize is, and think Hmmm, think I'm too old for this one. Fashion ones in particular

Congrats once again!

@fourleaf Thanks. Good Luck!

W00t! Congrats!

Looks like a good movie, good win!

You are a pro comper what your secret :) winks

@MammaPigga84 . . . Luck!

@Inwithachance comp master :) wont tell his secret hahahahaha. good on ya mate, champion

Cool

Congrats - I just love getting things to review, a great way to test them out for free, enjoy the book

Great win!

I am not sure Tina. Wish I could apply that luck to other comps!

Nice win, kaybee.

@TinaC I've been entering for about two years and have won 1 DVD, and been given 1 DVD to review.

@TinaC I actually emailed them to ask and it is a random generator..think I've done 3 or 4 reviews for them but none in last 12 months.

I am certainly no spring chicken. I just enter anything I am interested in regardless as it is too hard sometimes to second guess what they are looking for. If they are being selective then they should make that clearer in their t&cs. They could also just be collecting data for marketing purposes.

I am sure you will win eventually. Good luck! :)

fantastic, well deserved.

Wow - well done!

That is a well deserved prize! Enjoy

Fantastic news there, YourMum! Congratulations!

Terrific win!

Awesome news congrats on a well deserved win :)

OUTSTANDING! Congratulations. What is the dish called?

Congratulations

Congrats - what an awesome prize

Amazing win! Enjoy!

THATS GOLD!!!

@Inwithachance it is simply called Fusion Chicken Rolls, a spiced quinoa filling wrapped in chicken to look similar to sushi. it had to incorporate Culpeppers ingredients in the recipe and we managed to make their ingredients the centerpiece.

Sounds yummy

@YourMum Clever to spotlight their ingredients, you both must be good chefs to think of it & prepare it to impress, sounds like something I'd enjoy. Congrats again.

congrats!, have a wonderful time xx

Woohoo!! Have a great time :-))

Congrats!

F.A.B. Julie!!! Thunderbirds are GO!
