Thanks newbies.
The real secret of 'lottos' is the comradery. A lot of winners elsewhere are still unhappy. But 'winners in good company' are truely lucky ! |

thanks ever so much
when i joined a few days ago i had absolutely no idea what i was in for LOL, i thought there would be a few comps here and there and that was that.
well... i am amazed! not only by the sheer number of comps listed here but moreso by the incredible support give to us newbies!
you guys are amazing, thank you so much, even if i would never win anything that i get home delivered i have won a lot of insights and a great new
experience!
thanks to everyone for making this such a great site and good luck!
cheers

Thank you so much everyone. This is fantastic. I have only been a member for 2 days and I think Im addicted!! I cant wait to get back on and learn
more.
I was an average comper out in the real world before this and was about to give up because I never won anything and then I found you guys! yay!
What sort of competition do you think is easier to win? I thought that the harder the things to do ie 25wol or snail mail and barcodes might be
because less normal people (LOL!) could be bothered.
I think I'll get to know the site a bit more before I post any comps. Im sure you'll all know about them long b4 I will.
Thanks again. |

I would like to thank you all. Especially the long time compers. I Think I am starting to get the hang of this.
Still not quite sure about storing barcodes ?
Again thank you |

regarding barcodes
I am new to all this, though recently won a $2500 trip.
don't you have to produce either the barcode or the reciept in most comps....if so then why are compers collecting master lists of barcodes? forgive
my stupidity, as I said, just joined and am new to this.

Tips for new compers # 22
There is a 'new' product that actually works (better than anything I have found previously ) for getting labels off products , and it is called
'Solvit', one of those citrus based products; leave on the label for an hour or so; even gets those Heinz neck of tomatoe sauce barcodes off. |

Polarbird,
Thanks for all the tips!
One of the things I do is make a list every few days or so and make note of all the products that have competitions attached to them. I also list what
store is running the promo i.e coles, safeway, Big W or necktag (anywhere). I also mark down whether or not I need to buy 1 or 2 products or if the
item has a specially marked label.
I cross off and add to my list as the week goes on.

I think I joined not even 40 minutes ago....and although I have little experience I might just put in my 2 cents of what I think may be some helpful
advice for other newbies like me...may be good or may be bad *shrugs*.
Try to set aside some time in your schedule for shows that often have lots of comps every week. Like VideoHits for example, even if you cant watch it
each week at least sign up at there website, same for other shows (especially music ones!)
Not that it really classifies as a comp, but i remember doing the old coke phone compitions, as much as i love coke I knew I wasnt going to be able to
drink 15 600ml bottles anytime soon. So remember to ask friends, family and others for any products which may be running comps at the time (I also
think one of the labels was from a empty bottle I found on the street xD)
Know which comps are worth it on the net....i may be completly wrong or completly stupid but alot of advertised compitions you see on other sites arnt
genuine or arnt worth the bother...I have attempted a few but for what its worth Its not worth the effort if its not genuine. After reading through
the T and C once i discovered an interesting point, that they have to right to refuse to give out the prize for any reason at any time....an
interesting flaw in a supposedly valid contract
So yeah....these points may have been mentioned before but I hope this helps a lil. And I hope im not to off the track >.< |

Unfranked stamps
Polarbirds idea on unfranked stamps that have been missed by the machine is a good idea, but just be careful as it IS fraud and if u get caught it can
cost you hundreds more than you saved.
I know this because I have done it once before and was sternly warned by the lady at the post office. |

Question!!!!!
Is having the barcode enough for proof of purchase or do you need receipt as well? |

I'm a big fan of entering online comps and have won some nice smallish prizes (DVDs, books, movie tix) but no biggies yet!
My main sanity with onliners that need you to join as a member of their site to enter comps has been Roboform.
There is no way I'm organised enough to write passwords and user id's down and Roboform helps me keep all of those passwords just a click away from
logging in
You can get the free version but I recommend buying it as you'll never, ever regret it. You can have unlimited logins stored if you purchase it.
www.roboform.com
Good luck |
