Anyone have problems last night entering channel 10's the Project Comp?

Last night the Ten Competitions at tenplay.com.au for the Watch The Project for your chance to WIN an all-new SUZUKI VITARA was experiencing a technical issue.

It has now been resolved. You should be able to enter now.

sorry just saw the post. which night was that. Hmmm might of been Technology. Was a few days ago now. If you miss a code check tenplay.com.au and play the catch up project. I'm not sure if they keep previous episodes or how long. Usually about the 30/31 minute mark.

18 Sep 15 6:46 PM

On Monday night I missed the code and played the replay about 11:30pm. When attempting to submit my entry before midnight it wouldn't post. Grrrrr. So I email tenplay. They responded back about the technical issue had been resolved by midday Tuesday. So the rest of the week I have to wait till after midnight now to enter. :(

Hubby is having his 40th next month and I would like to buy something extra special- perhaps even an experience or time away on a very first holiday.... even if it's just a long week-end with the kids.

A lovely beer o'clock Facebook notification from Birds Eye this Friday arvo in their recent Father's Day promotion -

"Congratulations Christopher! You're one of our lucky winners. Could you please send us your address and contact number? We'll send your prize out to you via tracked envelope as soon as possible!"

One of five $100 Gift Cards - promotion ran from 31/8 to 4/9 with five $100 Gift Cards up for grabs per day of the promotion. Nabbed one on the last day (4/9) it seems. Drawn today. Yay. Will help enormously!

Here's my entry to the question "DADS! What do YOU love most about being a Dad? "

"I love that, despite remonstrations and surly looks aimed squarely at me mostly as 'parental unit', when things go pear-shaped (as they do), my teenagers still come to me for advice, comforting hugs...and yet another Dad�s Taxi Service booking. Where to now, kids? ;) "

Yes @roobycat unfortunately serious. Changed email shut down my FB for a while and changed my user name here. Entered two FB comps and as soon as I had entered the promoter put up a big piece on how this comp is for its fans and not pro compers. Bit silly of them but anyway have figured some promoters look on sites like this and either promote their Comp or remove you as a valid entry. No not really winning anything linked to from this site, won a DVD last week but not much really.

Goldmember
03 Sep 15 6:23 AM
R

Wow. Yeah I sensed that this may have been a serious post. The old question remains though - what is a pro comper? I enter comps for things I'd really like to win either for myself or someone close to me. I don't enter for stuff I don't want or need, and won't use. I also would never try to win something for eg: a movie pass for a cinema on the other side of the country, just for the sake of saying I won. That to me, is taking it off someone who may have really enjoyed it, who couldn't normally afford it.
I've won things in the past from companies/brand names I've never heard of, and LOVED the product I won, and now purchase that product/brand as a result, (there's many actually) so companies can shoot themselves in the foot by 'banning people' from the chance to try their product.
All well and good I suppose for a small company that really wants a genuine fan to win their prize, but again, if someone like ME wins it, and likes it, I'll become a customer. How will I know their products are good, if I can't try them? While I can see the point they are trying to make, it can go against them too.
Oh well, I'll just keep plodding along. By no means would I consider myself to be a 'pro comper'. It's just a hobby in which I partake, to hopefully win something I couldn't otherwise afford, or a product I'd love to try for myself.

Alittlebitoffun
03 Sep 15 10:19 AM

Maybe not a blacklist as such but have you won a comp or a few comps with them before? I think some FB promoters are cracking down to be fair to their other fans. Look at it like this; When an FB comp is run where the entry requires a comment, tag, share that everyone can see then people do notice when they see someone has previously won and they keep coming back time and again to enter, tag, share (I'm not referring to you ) and this is exactly why these promoters are being contacted by other fans who cry "foul, not fair, I've been a loyal fan and won nothing, this person has won x prizes and enters every comp on FB bla, bla, bla..." added to the mix is a look at the entrants FB wall, promoters and others see a picture of multiple competitions entered and form an opinion. I've seen people win an FB giveaway only to come back to enter the same promoters next giveaway to try and win the same prize or similar again and again...There's a lot to said for taking breaks from FB competitions and keeping a low cyber profile. x

picky
03 Sep 15 10:54 AM

@roobycat Same as you :-) and I've taken a big break from comping especially FB giveaways, honestly the feeding frenzy over some cheap tacky products is cringeworthy and if promoters are getting hacked off at the same people entering every one of their giveways, liking, sharing over and over again well they only have themselves to blame, they set the rules.

picky
03 Sep 15 11:04 AM

@Goldmember I do the same, change my user name, profile on forums often and never use my FB name on forums. The internet is a small place if someone wants to see what you have you've been up to in cyber space. Also I clean house often as in go into my FB account, activity log and then comments and delete, delete, delete. There's no useful purpose for old comments to be sitting on a promoters FB page once a competition has long finished, some of those will be also searchable on Google search.

picky
03 Sep 15 11:11 AM
R

@pickycomper lol! Yes the feeding frenzies are most certainly cringe worthy. As soon as I see a certain comp is one of 'those', I'm outta there. I've seen comps with only about 80 entries, and the same person/people have done atleast 20 of them each, to win something as small as a keyring. WHYYYYY? lol

roobycat
03 Sep 15 1:34 PM

@pickycomper I think your right, promoters go to look to see if you've shared the comp on your wall and could see an endless stream of comps with their comp 30th on the list. I think they do form an opinion, especially if someone has just entered a comp for one of their competitors and they see it on there. Then the t&cs that say "best answer wins" (if there are any t&cs) pretty much gives them the means to pick any answer they want.

There is also a lot of people who enter many FB comps are are constantly tagging and sharing even when they don't need to. FB may be social media but there seems to be an idea out there that the more you share the more chance you have of winning or that you will have great karma. How silly is that because all your doing is giving yourself less of a chance and your entry becomes lost in sea of other entries then the promoter says I'm not reading all of those because they're all the same and just picks anyone. Makes it hard for everyone including the promoter who ends scratching his/her head wondering where all his new fans went.
@Goldmember I think you've done the right thing. I'm in the process of doing a good spring clean.

Exactly as you said @roobycat , I think a pro comper is someone who does it for a living, definitely not me or you. I'm just entering as per the T&C's for comps I like. Yes it is unfair to be classified but even if a pro comper does enter I think it's elitest to exclude them if hey follow T&C's

05 Sep 15 10:47 AM

wow lol - I needed my morning cuppa to read this huge comment.
All very interesting.
Noticed a comper must be a classed as a pro comper when nearly every prize they've won in the last month is on ebay.
I absolutely love comping and find it fun and relaxing and promoters shouldn't make a judgement if you have a zillion comps on your fb as it's against their rules to ask you to share anyway so they should just be thankful they are getting free publicity.
Good Luck and hope you all win heaps.
I must say I did win a funky necklace on cool fb page a while back and then stopped entering their weekly giveaways only to be contacted to say I am welcome to keep entering the giveaways....so now I'm entering their giveaways as their prizes are always different and they give away 6-12 per week. So now I feel a little guilty after reading one of the comments above.
I just think there are some really sore losers (seems to be a growing bunch) out there and they are the people who keep complaining, gotta be in it to win it and if they don't like it then they can rack off and find a new hobby to whinge about.

bops18
07 Sep 15 9:49 AM
R

I guess 'sore loser' though, is similar to the old question of 'what is a professional comper' - what is a sore loser? I've been accused of being one of those, when I haven't even entered the comp in question. Doesn't bother me one bit who wins what, so long as they win it fair and square, but I also 'have an issue' I guess, with ones that just want to win anything and everything, for the sake of winning, when someone else could've really wanted and used that prize.
There's a lot of people out there who can't afford the simplest things in life, that many of us take for granted. I've seen people win tickets to movies 3 states away, concerts/shows being held in another state in a few days .... you can't tell me these tickets are all used.
I dunno, blame my many years working in family welfare if you like, but I do think you need to be fair. When it's a 20c cap or bar of soap, or cheap piece of jewellery, or some lollies being won by the same people over and over and over, and all because they have 5000 comping friends they can tag when others don't, or a Facebook page overrun with comp posts because they share and share and share, I do question if they really wanted it to have, or just so they can say they won it. Anyway, just my opinion :-)

Despite a popular held belief that winning is best achieved by sending positive vibes I'm going to have a crack at 'Whinge to Win'. It has helped in the past.

@happzygal I don't bother with the points thing but if you read down through the forum you will see posts explaining how it works. I think they reset every once - that's probably where your points have gone. I think you get points for viewing comps and playing the guessing game. There are also bonus points for birthdays.

Hi Jaclyn75, I noticed that not all your points are showing. Best thing to do is log in today to get your daily points, then go to the guessing game to get your extra 50 points then go to the competitions list and view at least one competition and then go to the leaderboard. All your points should then show up. Remember to view all the competitions to get your maximum competition points. If you click on someone else's name on the leader board (use mine if you like) it will show you a breakdown of total points. You should have points against each category. I hope this makes sense as I have only just finished work after working last night and I'm feeling a little bleary eyed (00) !!

@Jaklyn75 good stuff! but remember you still have three more competitions to view which will give you another three points. The total competitions added today are 10...so far!

28 Aug 15 6:01 PM

@fourleaf is right on the money there. The Blog section is very useful.

There's also a compers group on Facebook (closed group but welcomes newcomers) that posts the winning names from a horde of (Facebook) comps. Unfortuntately you will find that some companies/promoters will use plain text as the notification means, especially on Facebook, (sometimes on websites too), to fulfil their obligation. Unless you check back, you'll never know you've won, and if you do find that you had won, sometimes the prize has been reallocated as per Terms and Conditions if the winner 'doesn't respond' in a timely fashion. Hmphh! Here's this Facebook group - well worth joining...

Hi tinman249, it happens to us all at some stage, great when your winning but hard work when your not. I'm not sure how long you've been comping but entering as many as you can, (of what you want to win), will help depending on how much time you want to spend.
Sometimes (like now) I cut right down, clean out files and emails, take a semi break and use the time to think up some answers to use for later. I've only ever done this twice but I end up feeling more organised and a whole lot more chirpy. Lots and lots of luck!

Tasmania was such a small island, great fishing all round, but the locals were such simple folk, they always chose not to stray far from their homes.

I've Won

Another two posho corporate tickets to AFL on Saturday night which I'm thrilled about, because I won some a couple of weeks ago for the MCG and had a BLAST!!! SO! .... finally this weekend, is how our other one was supposed to go, but hubby got sick, and couldn't go. (all prizes) - Limo ride on Saturday from our place to Crown Casino (2 hours away), Gold Class tickets and food and drink package at Crown, then we'll leave there and head straight to Etihad Stadium. In a super nice twist of fate, the limo company gave us a 'complimentary upgrade' and are now also picking us up in Melbourne on Sunday and bringing us home again. You don't get a much more awesome weekend than that! Cannot wait! Oh, and I won a $50 free bet at Crown, so if I choose wisely and bet right, I may also come home with 100 bazillion dollars! In which case, I'll shout you all an ice cream! WOOHOO!!

To top the weekend off, as we were filling in an hour at Crown, waiting for our driver to arrive to take us home, I put $5 in a pokie machine and won back all the money we'd spent on food, drinks and shopping, ($500) so it really WAS a free weekend lol.

Hi guys, I wonder if someone may be able to message a Co about comp winners. Comp ended 31st May and I have messaged 3 times and they keep saying the winner will be announced soon, the last message being about 3 weeks ago. It was a really big prize and I don't trust when winners aren't announced, even if it's not me I would just like to know they actually did pick someone. I don't want to message again in case they blacklist me :(

It was Creative Holidays and the comp was Build your Own Holiday worth $15,000. Their FB site is https://www.facebook.com/creativeholidays

TIA :)

Don't you hate it when ........ you've recently won a major prize from a website, with which you are extremely thrilled, but then they run yet another comp, and that prize is also AWESOME, but you know deep down, that even if you do have the best entry, they probably won't pick you because you won their last one. Or is that just me? Anyone else got any 'I hate it when's? ..........

roobycat
19 Aug 15 12:36 PM

First of all congrats on the win - second of all what was the website so I know to enter lol
I do the same thing, if I have won something from someone I don't normally enter off them again as I think that I wont have very good chances of winning a second prize from the same company (although I have never won anything major.....yet lol)

Alittlebitoffun
19 Aug 15 1:48 PM

Yeah, I entered a comp the other day from a site I'd won some tickets from then I thought why did I just do that? I think it's really hard to win twice in a short time. Would be interesting to see if anyone has though! :)

I won a Samsung phone from a company once and then the next comp they ran was to win a MacBook!
I still entered and had one of the best entries (in my own opinion!) that I've ever come up with and answered the question really well and creatively but I didn't win. They took longer than normal to announce the winner so I told myself they were probably arguing between themselves whether it's acceptable to award a prize to me again 😁
Though I'm sure someone else just had a much better entry lol. I'm actually not that full of myself!
More recently I won the Slideliner tickets to the Bledisloe which was the major prize but now I'm not likely to win the minor prize of the $6999 TV!
Which seems like a pretty major prize to me

And 'I hate it when' the terms and conditions say the winner will be announced on their page on a certain date and then that date comes and goes. Put me out of my misery already! Even if I haven't won I still want to know the judging has been done and a winner chosen

I've won two prizes from the same site within weeks of each other. Who cares if you've won before? The prize goes to the best entry, not the second-best. The idea of 'fairness' is not part of the Terms and Conditions, so it shouldn't enter your mind (unless you like to give the even better prizes to someone else, lol).

I've though of another...
I hate it when the advertising says "just enter you details/sign up for your chance to win:, then when you've given them the info they say "Step 2. Now share, answer, vote, do a backflip...). When I can't comply I'm then stuck with an unwanted newsletter subscription and no chance of winning.

It just happened. I filled out my details signing up to the newsletter. Then a survey. Then was told I had to share with a friend to complete entry (and by the way, you are not entered unless they also sign up). Think I'll start reading Ts and Cs.
