Introductions / Social Meetups

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to introduce myself as I'm going to be guest posting on the blog here on competitions.com.au.
I'm a comper from way back in 2009 and my first post is about how entering those 25WOL comps ignited my creativity!
I'm also a Melbournian, chocolate lover, blogger and writer. My biggest prize I've won was a $1000 linen voucher and my biggest year was about $2000 worth of prizes. But I'm still holding out for an overseas holiday!
Here's my first post 'Why you should always keep your 25 Word or Less answers'
http://blog.competitions.com.au/tips/why-you-should-always-keep-your-25-word-or-less-answers/

Hope you all enjoy,

Lol funny that you mention this. Every time I win something half decent, people always say 'what did you write?' to which I answer 'no idea'. I've been saying for months that I'll start keeping all my answers, but then I copy and paste about 3 and I'm over it lol. I really just type whatever comes into my head at the time, and ALL of my biggest wins in the 12 months I've been doing this (2 x $2000 cash, $500 cash, years supply of chocolate, 5 star weekend away, computer etc etc) have all been 25 WOL, so I focus on those more than anything now. I've had (what I think are) good answers win AND lose, and I've had very ordinary ones win, so you really just never know

Could someone please help me with a competition question?

I have entered the Bonds competition. I was going to ask for separate receipts for my purchases however I forgot. If I have purchased over the $20.00 minimum, can I enter more than once or do I have to have separate receipts for each purchase?

(Multiple entries are permitted provided that each entry is accompanied by a separate eligible purchase.)

ChristineA09
14 Aug 15 9:37 AM

Hi Christine. I'm going to say that whether you spend $20 or $200, if it's all on one receipt, then that is only one entry. Someone else may have a different idea, but that's how I read it :-)

@admin Re the reply to this post by member toxicgherkin. Please be advised as with all Comps I read the t's & c's. QPAC are aware of my details and I have been advised my pass is posted.
Where I currently live is private, please maintain members' privacy and confidentiality and ask this member to a) not post any details re other members on this Forum b) not post on any of my posts.
It may be an idea to allow a facility on this Forum to be able to block members who refuse to respect you and leave you alone, even though they may be blocked on other site/s.
My family and friends all agree, treating people with decency and leaving them in peace is what is right

Without getting into the middle of anything, and especially not getting anyone off side, as I'm not that kind of person, I think all that toxic is pointing out is that the company themselves have broken their own T&C's, which is what gets on ALL compers nerves. That's one thing that I DO expect, is that if they state rules, then they themselves must adhere to the rules. Otherwise there may as well not be any. I've seen some awesome comps that I would love to win, but then I see that I am ineligible either because of where I live, or age or whatever, so I leave it alone. I couldn't think of any worse feeling than 'winning' and then having that win taken off me. Although this one is only a very small prize, if it was something a lot bigger, then the company would find themselves in all kinds of trouble :-) ... just my two cents

@roobycat As you are unaware of previous issue/s please realise a) people move location,(once again, privacy and confidentiality) b) all that is happening here is someone who is blocked on Facebook and knows why is insisting on bothering someone else who has never done anything to him.
Recent remarks about McDonald's Fries and Coke Wins not being noteworthy, (though others entered , Won and commented thanking me), questioning a 'tea-towel' Win when as stated it's a piece of autographed Movie Memorabilia.
Regrettably in Comping there are those who are jealous and behave pitifully. I am and have always been a polite, respectful, friendly, encouraging person. I have said MANY times I cannot believe my Luck. My posts are to encourage others, let people see you CAN Win a lot! As I have said before.
As you said you don't want to get in the middle of something, it's probably best to realise when you don't know the full story you comment on an issue that is wider and entirely one sided. I have done nothing whatsoever to anyone.
My family and friends are aware of the whole blocking story and are entirely unimpressed by it.
There are many decent people on this Forum, then there are others. Thankyou.

@Inwithachance let me just thank you. I enjoy reading your posts about your wins. When I was first contemplating starting up comping as a hobby, I was reading these forums, and it was your posts that stuck out the most, so thank you. Its not all about the BIG wins, you keep me thinking a long the lines that a 'win is a win not matter how small' (to rephrase dr sues). Sometimes I get discouraged that I have only won small items (although a few), but then I read your posts and realise it all adds up, and the more you keep entering, the more chance you have of that BIG win). If people only ever posted the BIG wins, this would be a very boring forum. I often wonder how you find so many competitions, especially on facebook (seriously I would LOVE to know lol). Also, I don't comment too much on here any more, after a comment was made on one of my posts about not being entitled to the win (the natgeo camera comp) - I still am not sure why my post was targeted, but it was. I know not everyone is like that, but Id rather try and avoid it as much as possible. I do enjoy reading about wins though, so please don't stop posting - thank you again - cheers Shannon

I don't know the history but I noticed that some of the comments seemed to be judgemental. There is nothing to say you can only post wins over x amount of dollars. I enjoy comping but I didn't know it was a competitive sport in itself. I thought the point of this forum was to share our wins and encourage each other not to put others down. If someone doesn't agree with someone else's post then you can ignore it or if it really bothers you report to admin.

@roobycat That is absolutely fine roobycat. I realised you were doing your best to comment sensibly, though out of context. I have noticed you are ALWAYS a straightforward, friendly, fun person. One thing though, in fairness to myself, the 'history' IS one-sided and like the person that instigated it, an outright bore. Best of Luck for a Big Win for you soon!

11 Aug 15 2:57 PM

@Shannon06 Yes I witnessed the nastiness over the cameras. When you are good natured and like seeing people happy, it IS difficult to comprehend the malice behind the puerile drivel some malcontents spout. Before I started Comping I always wondered how 'Winners' did it and thought Good Luck to them. Now that I am one, I can only say how nice it is that you would take the time to be supportive and encouraging. Dignity suggests it is always best to ignore foul people. However, there are times when it is best to intervene before matters become worse. After MONTHS of jealous, petty, sniping; today I thought best to comment. Ofcourse I'll keep posting, you don't let miserys spoil the fun. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU! : )

This week I won tickets on the Samsung Slideliner at last nights Bledisloe Cup Wallabies vs All Blacks game! (Go the Wallabies)
It was so much fun and my best win yet. Thankfully I entered in my husbands name so he was the one that had to be interviewed live on TV! Lol. Phew.
They gave us an all access areas pass and decked us out in rugby gear and gave us Samsung phones to capture everything on all night (though we didn't get to keep them!)
They really were the best seats in the house and it was awesome!

Anyone get the run around when they have won a prize and have not received it.
I was informed many many weeks ago now that I had won a prize (a very substantial one too) and the company who ran the competition "Musashi" supplements, has given me the run around since then. Saying that the supplier of the prize would contact me to arrange deliver. Also telling me that they had been contacting the supplier, Harvey Norman to pursue the matter.
I have since had emails from Harvey Norman, giving me a similar kind of run around. Both companies keep assuring me "you will receive your prize"
It is very frustrating, but I will continue to probe them.
Just wanting to see if anything like this has happened to others and what they did (or can be done) to solve the issue. I realise it's a prize but it still comes across as very poor service and it has put me off dealing with both companies in the future.

Lol this is so funny that you mention this! Today, I FINALLY received a prize I've been chasing. Not as big as yours, it's a $160 electric shaver - but decent enough prize. I won it on June 1st. I messaged my details to them as requested, straight away, and 3 weeks later, the message still hadn't even been read, so I posted a message onto their wall. They were updating their status, but STILL nobody replied to read my previous messages. Right, game on ....

I messaged them again a week or so later, and surprisingly, got some lame excuse of 'oh we sent that when you won it. Are you sure you haven't received it? Errrm, well no, I wouldn't be chasing you if I had it now, would I? To that the reply I got was simply 'ok, never fear'. (strange message. What does THAT mean?) I then replied, 'well I don't know where it would've been sent, because the message with my address on it, hasn't even been read until today? I didn't get a reply to that one.

Couple weeks later AGAIN, still nothing, LAST FRIDAY I saw them update a status which started something like 'we're desperately seeking (whatever it was). Do you know anyone ... etc etc.' I replied to that status, well I'm desperately seeking a prize I won from you nearly two months ago now. Please advise as to when it will be received. Up pops a private message: 'Oh I'm sorry, you still haven't received it? Sorry about that. This has never happened before. I'll pop another one in the mail today, in the next half hour infact, and if the other one turns up, please keep that as well.' (don't worry mate, I WILL be)!

Now this is a Melbourne based company. My daughter lives in Melbourne, and if either of us posts something to the other, it's delivered the very next day. YESTERDAY (5 working days after he said he's posted it) I messaged yet AGAIN! To which I get 'oh you should have it tomorrow'. SHAZAM! What turns up today in an express post satchel, posted just yesterday? Yep, my prize. Funny that! Must've gone via Darwin or something.

Anyway, yes, pursue pursue pursue. Yes it's something for free, but if they aren't going to give out the prizes they promise, they shouldn't run competitions. IF it was just something like a candle or a hat or anything of not much value, I wouldn't waste my time or energy, but when it's something significant - SICK 'EM! Fair enough if it's a simple oversight, but don't lie to me and tell me you've posted it (especially more than once) when you haven't!

07 Aug 15 3:33 PM

I have had several Prizes to chase up. One took 10 weeks. To begin with I messaged several times re who had Won. Then when I found out I was one of the Winners I sent my details. It took many messages and weeks to get it. Valued at approx $170. Companies have had their promotion from the Comp, they should honour it. Partly it could be out of sight out of mind once the Comp is over, partly the distributor BUT ultimately they should be Professional and Businesslike and make sure to deliver the Prize you were awarded. Good Luck!

Inwithachance
07 Aug 15 6:31 PM

I usually chase it up once or twice, but if the prize is just a DVD or something low in value, I usually just write it off if it doesn't arrive. I've had prizes turn up long after the competition, and one even turned up before they announced the winner. I consider it karmic when one doesn't arrive, like the universe owes me one. It encourages me to think I'll win a bigger prize next time.

divergent
08 Aug 15 7:14 AM

Thanks for those responses guys, all very welcome and it makes me want to keep at them as the prize is $999 large screen TV. Although I have had no response to my last emails - simply saying "I as yet had no contact from the local Harvey Norman" (as promised by them in prior emails)
Again all very frustrating!

I have contacted musashi via the website this time and have had an email to say they will follow it up (but that was days ago and still no further information from them)
I have also had contact from a Harvey Norman rep in Victoria (I am in SA) to say my local store should be in contact soon (again that was days ago and still nothing!)

... and therein lies the answer I think .... it's FREE so they don't care whether you're annoyed or not. Mind you, I'm sure the promoter paid for the item (albeit @ warehouse price) so it should still be delivered. Don't give up. It's YOUR TV now, and they have it. Let us know how you go! :-)

How long has it been now @wolverine. Time to call in the big guns if you are now being completely ignored. A $1000 prize, is by no means SMALL, and they've had long enough to sort themselves out. I'd be contacting the gaming authority now.

Well guys good news at long last, after many many email and phone call ping pongs I have finally had the prize delivered today. It has been well over two months since I was first informed I had won this prize. So thanks to all those who encouraged me to keep at it and helped out along the way!

If there was an incentive of extra points for adding competitions, I think people would add more. I often see "I've won" notifications from competitions that weren't listed on here. It might make more work for admin though if everyone is bombarding them with the same competitions, but is still a thought..

The only problem I feel with adding competitions to get points is that people don't check what has been added and we end up with double ups

I think Admin would have to approve them first so any double ups would get avoided hopefully :) @bj74

I'm all for it. I see a lot of competitions that aren't on here. To be honest, I didn't even know I could add them here. All the more reason, if we earn points.

6 x premium reserve seats to North Melbourne v Melbourne this Sunday at MCG. Only smallish, but gonna take the opportunity to use up a few other prizes I have, while we're there. Going to go the day before and use up a 1 hour stretch limo ride I won (drinks included) then go to Crown Casino where I have a Gold Class package to use, with two tickets, and $100 of drinks and food. From 'not doing anything' this weekend, it all just went nuts! lol oh, and yes, I'm a mad North Melbourne supporter and always have been. Other half is Collingwood but he'll just have to deal with it lol

HI guys , just curious how people get there points so high, do they change their photos daily? I am just asking because I think I enter a lot but not even close lol, thank you :)

sarableys
04 Aug 15 6:28 PM

Hi, I'm currently second on the leaderboard - I checked your profile to see how you were doing.. you need to click view ALL the comps!! and complete your profile, and you just get awarded a different amount of points for visiting every day, so that's why we are all at different amounts :)

Bel7861
04 Aug 15 6:32 PM

And don't forget the guessing game...that's worth 50 points a day...

If you miss a day you lose the chance of up to 100 points to your tally, which is near impossible to catch back up.

Also, not too sure but, I think if you finish top 20 in the guessing game you get double picks daily (but still only 50 points)

Good Luck ....

Another little small win to keep the comp interest levels up :) Email notification last night to say tanning products will be delivered soon, though unsure which entry it was that got me the win. As no immediate holidays or travels to warmer destinations are on our calendar maybe a little tanning could be just the pep up needed to lift the winter spirits?...

Just thought I'd share this little story that popped up on my Facebook. 1:250 ratio of winning. Would you agree? I don't!

roobycat
02 Aug 15 2:56 PM

Yep I'd agree on most levels with that- generally the prizes aren't worth the effort. What keeps me going is the hope that one day it will be a bigger prize, and realistically that is more likely to happen if you put in regular effort. If I don't use sites like this one I don't even hear about the comps.

Goldmember
03 Aug 15 11:08 AM

Hey Bunna. Wouldn't you say the ratio is a little lower though? But then I suppose if you average out to include the dry spells, it balances out. You're right though, the more effort you put in, the more you often win. I don't enter if the prize doesn't appeal to me, or isn't worth the effort, so that lowers my ratio chances yet again. In the past 3 months, I've gone into comping head first and full on to see what happens, and have noticed bigger prizes rolling in, so you reap what you sow I suppose :-)

My friends and family think I do quite well at comping and I laugh and say it's one of the few things you can achieve about 1% at and people think you are doing well. So I've guessed my win rate at 1:100 and have often wondered what it is really. I think some people are better at WOL and creative comps than others too so some people win more than others. I also think your reason for comping changes your perspective on it's value. You can't rely on comping to supply what you need but it's great to get a few things from time to time without needing spend anything.

Lol oh I get that all the time 'you're so tinny' or 'you're so lucky'. Ummm not really. If you see how many I enter! lol But once again, I lean more towards the bigger prizes these days, or something I really really want. If I entered absolutely everything I'm sure I'd win more often, but I don't want prizes that I say 'oh. That's nice' and throw it in a drawer. I want prizes that I say WOOOHOOOO I WON I WON I WON! One friend in particular decided she was going to give comping a go. A month later she said , that's crap, I won nothing. I asked how many she entered and she said oh about 10. Lol well yeah, that explains why you didn't win. Takes a bit more effort than that
