Really disappointed. I bought 3 bottles of prosecco and was pleased to read the tag on the bottle advising of a chance to win a gourmet trip. Not so pleased to find I needed to keep my receipt to enable me to enter (I don not think I even received it. As well, I also see I need the last 5 digits of the barcode.

You do not see the terms and conditions until after you open the tag - who keeps this type of information let alone the bottle for the barcode - you drink the prosecco and the bottle goes in the bin.

The only advice as "comping" protocol demand all receipts upon payment and store in a safe location, until second chance draws are completed. :)

Always could do a quick google for the competition while shopping, if that was conditional on purchase. Even better check out what purchase competitions are about before shopping and plan ahead. You may come across T&C's that need X amount of the product on the same receipt. With that information could ask nicely to split up receipts. Eg Ask the checkout if they could please do all my 20 items on each separate receipt. ;-)

Enjoy the 3 bottles of Prosecco. It will soften your disappointment :)

Usually for the barcodes just write them down or take a photo of it and store digitally if really need to keep a record. That way you can also keep a tally of how much you have consumed this week. ;-)

Good point about purchase competitions. Someone remind me in about a month's time to add functionality for purchase competitions to connect photographed receipts or details to a competition entered for my database.

Must admit I'm a receipt hoarder ,probably have receipts I don't even need lol

30 Apr 17 9:12 PM

@bj74 lol. Generally I'm pretty bad at keeping receipts. Thou I've allocated a draw to stuff them in. OK I've also got the Eftpos comp pics still sitting on the PC and probably littering my Facebook account. They could be cleaned up any volunteers?

I'm liking the idea just take a photograph and file away on the PC. Then could associate it with the competition entered. Also acts as a backup in case the physical receipts fade get damaged etc etc.

Could do some basic organisation with folders and meaningfully name the receipts. Issue might be if the same receipt is used for a number of comps. Either copy the receipt and rename for each comp. Endless ways to hoard/organise them. lol

I doubt competitions these days would ask to physically send in the actual receipt. A photo should be ok. X fingers. Guess read the fine print just in case.

I don't do many purchase competitions so not a priority. Wonder what organisation tips for keeping receipts for purchase competitions member's have.

@gpbristow, I get a little sad on missing out on a good comp too!. it's pretty standard on purchase comps to keep receipts, barcode/ whole product especially with the big ones and keep the receipt for three months after in case of a second chance draw. For me, rule 'numero uno' is always to read the t&cs first to find out what they want you to keep. Sometimes entry needs a photo upload of the receipt but if you are lucky enough to win the major prize generally they will want the original as well because of the value of the prize. It all helps making sure it's a genuine entry and keeps cheats at bay. At the end of last year three major companies required winners to mail in ALL receipts entered in their comp. Some wanted original barcodes as well! A couple of years ago, I even had to get a signed statement from a JP for a second prize. Agree with @Lemond and @bj74, I've never had to mail them in but I've never won a major, major holiday yet either! Why take the risk, I'd hate to miss out because I didn't keep the original receipt as per the t&cs. Here's hoping for everyone lol! :) There's a couple of articles on entering purchase comps in the blog from memory. Enjoy and good luck with comping :)

01 May 17 11:06 AM

Lol, I keep mine for 2 years @gaseja

bj74
01 May 17 11:12 AM

@fourleaf Wise words to file away the physical receipts. I still think at least a photo of the receipt should be enough proof of purchase. If mailing them in they could get lost or damaged. At worse a photo acts as a backup.

For bar codes I kept a big bin of empty dairy milk bottles for their competition for ages. Was to lazy to take the bar codes off.

Smalot11
28 Apr 17 3:30 PM

@Smalot11 Argh had me worried for a while. I seemed to have "slight" delay before could register today's guessing game. Thought might of been caused by refreshing the browser around right on midnight to do the guessing game.

I have noticed one issue in previous months when doing the guessing game on the first of the month and missing the double guess. I seemed to get caught just after they cleared the previous month scores before working out if I had double guesses or not. Then was fine for the rest of the month.

Lesson is not don't try doing the guessing game on the first of the month for least a few minutes after midnight AEDT. If showing incorrect number of guesses come back a few minutes later and refresh. i.e. assuming you know if ended up 4-50th previous month and got double guesses.

Probably what should be done is disable the guessing game while any maintenance is being conducted. Bonus if they added a message stating down for maintenance would also be nice. :)

How many 1 points can you get in a week? I've now had 6 over the last 7 days!!!

Winner1
19 Apr 17 2:32 PM

Answer: Seven 1's :)

Assuming not an exaggeration ie. 98 - 1*6 - 1*10 gives a min score of 82 from 12 days So, how many 10 and/or 9's did you get in the first 12 days?

Overall you're currently still better off then @toxicgherkin :)

If it's you're birthday month you might still have a chance. Would need roughly 170ish (+5 above the monthly average). Don't give up just yet @FARMERTYSON :)

Good luck and Happy Birthday to all April birthday members. @FARMERTYSON, and @rianlana I think. Might be one or two more. :)

Lemond
19 Apr 17 4:48 PM

@Lemond only 2 days of 10 I think and no exaggeration.

19 Apr 17 6:20 PM

@Winner1 I don't think the points system is working properly either.

SunnyLife
25 Apr 17 10:41 AM

@SunnyLife Any hints why you say that?

@Winner1 A better question is what would be the odds for a similar scenario?
You can use combination probability have fun. I'm preoccupied :)

Eg Assuming 100 active members what be the odds within a year for a similar scenario occurring. i.e. For any given number occurring 6 times within 7 days. End up with 90 possible combinations out of a total (10^7).

For a year hmm 358 seven day periods and 100 members
35800*70= 2506000

2506000/10000000 = 0.25 i.e. 25% chance occurring in a year or on average once in approximately every 4 years

Be a rough starting point would need to check if used the correct methodology.

Taking one members run of numbers for a week may hint at an issue it's stretching it. You need to look a larger sample of random scores. I wouldn't expect your scenario to reoccur for a while. It's not impossible.

Eg
The odds of two consecutive days being the same number 10/100 , 3 days 10/1000 etc. So good chances at least one member out of 100 may get repeating numbers for the next 3 days.

It's not to say there may be an issue, by just using a sample of a couple of members scores over one week doesn't demonstrate much apart from that combination is a possibility. One out of a possible 10 million combinations for each member in a week.

I set up an email address, Twitter and Instagram mainly for competitions. A different email address allows the filtering of emails as a result of entering comps to remain separate from main emails. When a friend is starting to enter comps and they ask my advice, the first thing I tell them is, setup an email address and use that for comps.

O.K. guys, forgive me for my ignorance, as I'm quite new at this comping thing, but; Is it just me or do some of the questions asked in 25 words or less comps not make any sense? I have seen a few that seem rather obscure, like the current one from Sharp, where you can win a microwave/convection oven and the question is "In 25 words or less (tell us) your 'original' convection recipe and why?"...huh? Why what? Are they asking me why do I want to cook food?... Why do I want to eat food? Maybe I'm just slow but I don't get it.
I bet some of you other compers out there have seen some pretty weird ones. What are some of the strangest 25WOL questions you've seen?
P.S. One of their other questions was "Do you own a Sharp product?" and I must admit, I was tempted to say "Yes I have several knives, some scissors, a circular saw..."

I know in the past they generate soo many spam phone calls/emails even if you click no to all the questions.
also if you don't answer all the questions do you still get in the draw?

Has anyone got an idea of why a competition submission would not be approved? Never used to have an issue. But the last two which I have submitted have not been approved. I can't think of what the problem could be? They are both legit and pretty standard giveaways.

have they already been listed?

Is there a competition submission feature now in action? What did they do regarding compbux for that etc?

I recall they mentioned something about competition submissions a couple of months ago thought nothing had come of it. Still the usually 10 competitions listed per day so assuming not much has changed.

Its only for people who run comps at the moment, so you have to register with your ABN etc.

They have not been listed before, one is a brand new giveaway started 2 days ago.

Just curious as to what the problem is with them. I've submitted a few in the past with no problem.

Forgot to update.

15 March I won from Mix 102.3, two tickets to the SA Day on the Green with Blondie and Cyndi Lauper!

2 days ago, got an email from RAA advising I've won a double pass to Wallis Cinemas :)

I honestly have no idea how you are doing that. I've entered 139 times and still no win on that one lol on the bright side my husband won a TV a few days ago (let's hope we have better luck than with the tv I won last year that is still waiting on lol)

@Alittlebitoffun - a new TV is awesome. Great win by you two. Congrats.

toxicgherkin
07 Apr 17 7:39 PM

@shtooff sorry, should clarify. First card arrived - not VISA debit - but is a card you activate online, with funds available generally by noon the following day. You can track your balance online too, which is handy. As for numbers of receipts to enter per day - unlimited. No minimum spend. No upper limit on entries. The promotion is is the final stages, winding up soon. Best of luck.

I think more and more people are doing competitions. Desperate times call for desperate measures. With the media advertising and putting it out there and with Facebook the chances are becoming slimmer. Once upon a time a comp on F.B would only have say 200 entries compared to 2.6k now. I know you have to be in it to win it, but yes its becoming ridiculous.

SunnyLife
06 Apr 17 8:24 AM

@SunnyLife i avoid fb comps most of the time .. people copy each others comments, have had mine copied.

As well 2.5 weeks ago I found someone from overseas using my name.. she is not a relative, family or even name sake...

Different heritage, ancestry and all else that goes with it, she just adopted my name ... FB are telling me she is doing nothing wrong & not going against their regulations. Their regulations state that people must use their own names

Someone copied my answer last week and posted it on several pages. And I messaged them and commented under their post writing stop copying my answer and she blocked me and then I got a message from a friend of hers. It said, 'You $&#^*@*@* How dare you harass a 13 year old girl have reported you to the police'.

My answer had something about my two kids in it. So I don't know how a 13 year old girl has two kids. And also why would a 13 year have a facebook that's full of comps. It's hard to believe that there's a hardcore comper that's 13 years old.

bj74
07 Apr 17 8:18 AM

@Comp_chick Oh crap, is this what it has come to? Having to compete with 13 year old's or younger? (they can say that they are 13 to be eligible to enter the F.B comps, but there isn't any proof to tell if they are the age that they say they are. No one asks) Silly Facebook, one rule for some and another rule for others. :(

I was just scared about the police.
Like what else am I suppose to do if someone copied and pasted something I wrote that sometimes takes half an hour to an hour or sometimes more to write.
Am I suppose to turn a blind eye next time.
All I did was message them and told them to stop and I got blocked and apparently I reported to the police for harassing a 13 year old.
If she went to the police and told them I was harassing her, and then if the police asked why. I wonder what she would have said. Surely she would have been telling lies.
Update:
This person is such a cheat.
She just changed her last name was Ella now its Dunston - In one post she wrote she had a son aged 4 and then on another post she wrote her son is 3.
She's lost her marbles.

@Comp_chick The police would only laugh at her. They have better things to do. So many crazy people out there, karma usually has its ways with them. They are their own worst enemy. Hopefully you'll win something way better than what was offered in that prize. Good Luck to you :)

Does everyone get the same amount of random points for visiting the site each day?

ouzocoke
02 Apr 17 3:11 PM

HI, @ouzocoke. Can't say I've had that experience precisely though I suggest you brace yourself in readiness for low daily points, ostensibly randomly! ;) Seems to go with the territory. A gracious 1 point for me today! :(

toxicgherkin
02 Apr 17 5:45 PM

You can add another point to yesterday's for me. A whopping 2 points this morning. Gaaah!

toxicgherkin
03 Apr 17 8:09 AM

So does everyone get different amount of random points per day or same amount

ouzocoke
03 Apr 17 8:29 PM

@ouzocoke, it's a random allocation of between 1 and 10 points to each user that logs in/has activity that particular day. You might find you score a 10 one day and receive 1 point the next day. I received 1 point on Sunday, 2 points on Monday, and I see this from this morning, 7 points. It's different for everyone.

toxicgherkin
04 Apr 17 7:15 AM

@toxicgherkin Please just keep those low random scores to yourself for this month. :)

X fingers it's my turn for finally for a top 3

Lemond
12 Apr 17 8:55 PM

@ouzocoke They should be randomly allocated (1-10) to each member, per day when they visit the home page. Note activation of the random daily points system first requires visiting a new competition posted in that month.

If random you should expect occasional runs of a given number. To have a realistic chance for then top 3 looking at around a monthly total of 190ish-210 daily random points. Adjust that rough requirement down 25 points if it's your birthday month.

I wouldn't worry too much regarding the random daily bonus unless it's your birthday month or only a few birthdays for a given month. Otherwise you need a fair dose of good luck.

You still got double guesses for the weekly guessing game to look forward to in the following month, If end up in the top 50 scores. That's basically guaranteed if you visit the home page (for daily random points), do the guessing game and tick off most of the competitions posted for that month.

For some reason there has been a recent change to the allocation of the birthday bonus to the end of the month. Maybe it's a "cunning plan" to keep members interested.

Thanks @Trevsta the worst is over thank goodness. Saftey always in mind. We got rained on with a cat 3/4 (three quaters) I think with wind gusts at over 80-90kms. Didn't loose any trees after loads of rain before this.
@Smalot11, we lost power for six hours during the height of it. It was a little scary hearing that wind in the dark with a candle so I can't imagine what it was like for those further up the track. Yes, the emergency crews, Red Cross, others and SES are doing a great job.
