'Purchase to win' comps. If you enter these, and more importantly if you have ever WON one (a big one) how many entries did you enter? I've only recently got into these to see how I go, but I only enter a few times (depending on what it is you need to purchase), but I've seen people say they've entered hundreds of times!!! All well and good if you win, but I figure if you enter heaps of them, over a hundred times each, taking into account the times you DON'T win, is it worth it? Again ... just wondering :-)

roobycat
12 Jun 15 4:26 PM

I have always pondered this question too. There have been competitions I have won with only a few entries but others where I have won zilch and put in lots of entries. I have never won a huge prize such as a car or holiday yet. I remember reading a blurb on Arnott's Tim Tam website a few years ago about the winners of a competition where they gave away a couple of cars. It was interesting that both women said they had only put in one entry each when I am pretty sure there would have been lots of people who had multiple entries (who can resist buying Tim Tams!). It is like people who put in multiple system entries for Lotto and win nothing and someone will buy a single quick pick and clean up. You can increase your odds but it still comes down to the luck of the draw. I never buy what I can't use and try and stick to my budget. Some weeks I am too poor to enter a purchase to win comp or just can't justify the purchase so I pick and choose. I am still a fan and prefer them over the 25wol or facebook comps.

kaybee72
12 Jun 15 6:53 PM

Mmmm good point @kaybee about buying Lotto tickets. Never looked at it that way before. I've seen stories on current affair shows about professional 'compers' and for example there's a comp on coffee, then they buy 40 jars of it. I just can't justify doing that. If it's something I know we'll use or eat, then yeah a few maybe, but not if it's a new product.
I see a few comps where you need to buy a carton of a certain beer .... all good .... if it's a beer you like, but I'm not gonna spend $50 if I don't even know what it tastes like. lol
As for 'who can resist buying Tim TAms? .... me! I really do not like them at all haha I know, I'm a weirdo .... sweet tooth hubby tells me that all the time lol

roobycat
12 Jun 15 8:29 PM

It would be interesting to see the stats on how many entries the big winners put in. I can't justify buying umpteen dozen things just to enter a comp either and I certainly won't buy something I am not going to use but there are usually comps that have products I will buy anyway so I figure I may as well enter. Pepsi had several comps running earlier this year and the same people won every one and several from the same family. You could enter 5 times a day so I guess they really must have stocked up on Pepsi. I can't compete with that. I have had quite a few wins like the recent Kellog's comp and I won a $500 eftpos card in the Golden Circle comp. In both of those I only put in a few entries. If you buy 40 jars of coffee or 100 bottles of Pepsi you better make sure you win the top prize just to get your money back!!

kaybee72
13 Jun 15 6:41 AM

Oh and I also am more likely to enter comps that have multiple prizes rather than just one top prize.

kaybee72
13 Jun 15 6:49 AM

Depends on what the product is for me, if it's something I always use then probably a few entries.
When I won a surfboard , 1 entry, McDonald's monopoly surround sound system, 2 entries, local newspaper/McDonald's comp, trip to Disneyland, 3 entries, and no, not a fan of macca's ,but pretty stoked with my wins.

I know roobycat. I have just started a new diet and exercise program so I guess I won't be entering anymore of those comps. I indulged in 2 packets of M&Ms over the long weekend. I did my bit haha.

15 Jun 15 7:53 PM

I saw in the T&Cs for the Big Night in it also cover a few less junk foodie items like Disney produce packs, D'Orsogna deli products, Old El Paso and Mount Franklin water. I'm a bit over chips and biscuits aswell. Although I did go and buy three packs of DeLites today just to enter the comp haha

Yet another great competition found, and quickly ruined when I read it's a 'most votes wins' competition. Toughest tradie hands, which I think my hubby definitely has, to win a NIssan ute. I got excited, started planning how to take the photo of him at work etc etc, then I read once they have decided on finalists, it's a voting competition. Why on earth do promoters do this? Is it so that it takes the heat off from THEM having to decide the winner themselves? There's no way anyone will convince me that voting competitions are fair. Not bothering with it, as I will guarantee that the winner will have hundreds of votes in a day. I can handle not having the winning entry, such is life, but it really sucks when 'ordinary' people who think they may have a chance regarding what the competition is asking for, end up having no hope, simply because they don't have 18,000 fake friends :-(

Totally agree, I just lost a voting comp where the winner had THE worst pic and got over 2000 votes vs most other people who had an average of 30. I hate voting comps!! I also was going to enter the toughest tradie hands as well, now won't bother :(

Yeah it's very unfair. Why bother asking for a particular subject at all. May as well just say 'post a photo of anything, and the most votes, wins'. Yep @fourleaf, well known that people pay for votes. @nicky, I won't be bothering either, I've seen some really stupid photos win things too, just because they obviously rig their votes.

Re: movie tickets. I don't enter to win these - but I got some as a runner up prize. I gave them to my sister in law to use, and the cinema wouldn't accept them. And that was a large cinema in Melbourne. Anyone else have any problems? These were from Universal, so not a small company. Is there a hidden catch? ... just incase I win anymore to palm off to her lol

Yes we read all that on the back. All it had was not valid at *a list of* cinemas. Nothing else, and she wasn't at one of those cinemas, but they wouldn't accept them. Just said they 'aren't valid here'. Hmmm interesting

Is anyone els over FB comps? I think most co's say game of skill then see how many responses they get and then random pick. I had lost out on one where the person picked the same movie as me for their answer but just basically said they liked it where I put thought into it and used quotes from the movie etc. Why do we even bother sometimes?

Yep, I'm with you. There's still a very rare FEW good Facebook comps, but wow there's also a lot of junk out there, that you need to share 87 times and tag 5 million people in. I leave those ones alone usually. If it's a decent prize I'll share once or tag one person, but I leave 90% of the others well alone. They're the ones that usually attract the same people time after time after time. You can nearly guess what names you'll see in most of those. And as for answering the question, yes I've seen some very dodgy answers win too!

@roobycat It was more curiousity, trick is to leave the thing open in another browser to the one you're on and flick back now and then and press the water and feed. After starting and spending so much time, I was determined to get at least one bag of them. Hope they taste good. Also a box popped up under my tree and I got the chance to enter for a Prize with a written answer so who knows?

Hmmm did a spot of shopping today. Mostly 'comp' shopping. Just looking in my pantry now, wondering what I can make for tea with 6 packets of chips, 3 packets of rice crackers, 3 packets of chewies, a pack of cough lollies, 9 chocolate bars, 4 bags of M&M's, 3 light bulbs, some curry powder and some cinnamon sugar. Any ideas?

Time to try "Whinge and Win". This is the first time in months that I am not waiting for something (anything) to arrive in the post. No wins, no samples, no freebies - nothing.

Day off. Freezing cold outside. Decided to have a serious 'comping session' morning. Am noticing that more and more Facebook competitions, are being blatantly aimed at the ones that only have Facebook for comping - the ones with 5 million tagging buddies that they don't even know. Granted, a lot of the prizes are stuff I don't want so wouldn't enter anyway, but how are these pages allowed to get away with it. I just saw one that had posted 'the more you share and tag, the more entries you have'. Blatantly against Facebook's OWN rules ....

Promotions

1. If you use Facebook to communicate or administer a promotion (ex: a contest or sweepstakes), you are responsible for the lawful operation of that promotion, including:

a. The official rules;

b. Offer terms and eligibility requirements (ex: age and residency restrictions); and

c. Compliance with applicable rules and regulations governing the promotion and all prizes offered (ex: registration and obtaining necessary regulatory approvals)

2. Promotions on Facebook must include the following:

a. A complete release of Facebook by each entrant or participant.

b. Acknowledgement that the promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Facebook.

3. Promotions may be administered on Pages or within apps on Facebook. Personal Timelines and friend connections must not be used to administer promotions (ex: ?share on your Timeline to enter? or ?share on your friend's Timeline to get additional entries?, and "tag your friends in this post to enter" are not permitted).

4. We will not assist you in the administration of your promotion, and you agree that if you use our service to administer your promotion, you do so at your own risk.

Number 3 sums it all up .... people are quick to point out when promoters ignore T&C's but this goes on and on. Very unfair to those that actually have Facebook purely to keep in touch with friends and family - not annoy the bejeezuz out of them with 'spam'. Is it just me that gets annoyed by this?

Oh good! SO many I saw today were breaking every rule. The bigger companies usually do it the right way. It's the smaller ones I noticed that either don't know the rules, or don't care. And sure enough, those same ones, before you even look at the comments, there's names that you just know will be there, over and over and over.
As I said, a lot of them were stuff I don't want anyway, but if there WAS something that someone like me genuinely liked, you wouldn't have a hope because I hate bombarding my friends with, what I call ... Facebook junk mail lol and not to mention I don't have thousands of 'friends'. I just don't understand why it's allowed. Such is life I guess. My b*tch for the day, OVER! lol

roobycat
02 Jun 15 3:10 PM
R

Well there's a LOT of them! lol One I saw a few weeks back, had only about maybe 10 entrants?? but all had tagged about 50 people each, in individual posts, and all wrote 'liked and shared'. Seriously! Who has time to DO that! lol I tag my daughter in things I think she'll like, but seeing what I'm seeing more and more with serial taggers, it's no wonder I never win with just one tag. No way am I gonna tag 50 people and share a post 84 times, just to win a scented candle or movie ticket lol

Feedback / Suggestions

I HAVE DONE MANY SURVEY'S ON THIS SITE FOR SOME TIME NOW AND SO FAR HAVE ONLY ACCUMILATED 268 POINTS. IT SEEMS THAT I EITHER DON'T QUALIFY FOR THE PARTICULAR SURVEY, SURVEY HAS HAD IT'S QUOTA REACHED OR SOME OTHER EXCUSE. CURRENTLY I'M ON A DISABILITY PENSION AND CAN'T DO A GREAT DEAL SO FILLING IN SURVEY'S I THOUGHT WOULD BE THE WAY TO GO TO EARN SOME MONEY. HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY MONEY, GIFT CARDS, FREE GIFTS AND SOME SURVEYS YOU CAN ONLY ENTER ONCE EVEN THOUGH THE COMPANY SEND YOU THE SURVEYS. THINK ALL THESE FILL OUT SURVEYS AND EARN MONEY ARE GARBAGE AND A WASTE OF TIME (MOST TIME SPEND FILLING OUT SURVEYS WAS 7 HOURS IN ONE DAY) GOT F/A. THINK I HAVE TO REVIEW ALL MY SURVEY SITES AND CANCEL THEM ALL AND FIND A BETTER WAY TO SPEND MY TIME.

I don't get the game .... I "played" for 20 minutes and have a grand total of about 200 points and 2 beans.
