Re: Winners list on Site not updated - 9 years ago
Not only is the Winners page not updating, the E-mails are not being cleared, and the Treasure Hunt has not updated for ages.I have long since given up on the Ladder being updated with achievements. I renewed my subscription in 2013 for 24 months but noted recently that my expiry date is now December 2016. While this is to my advantage, I realise that the fee Competitors Companion charge helpsby Shanners - General Competition Chat
Re: Is our Hobby getting Better or worse - 9 years ago
I previously posted questioning whether some of the prizes actually exist.I suggested that, judging by the e- mails I get (over 3,000 in my CC email box alone -which I stopped using some months ago), a lot of the competitions are simply used to get name address and phone numbers for marketing purposes. I know that there is an opt out facility but I still receive lots of unsolicited e-mails. I oftby Shanners - General Competition Chat
Re: 500 comps/3,000 entries per week - anyone do more ? - 9 years ago
I enter most competitions on this site and have done so for a number of years. I have only won a few minor prizes and am concerned that the real purpose of these competitions is to obtain personal details for marketing purposes. I am bombarded with e mails and calls to my mobile from various companies. I often wonder what percentage of the advertised prises actually exist. I always mark my entrieby Shanners - UK Forum
Re: Ladder points and coins - 9 years ago
On this game there were only 6 prizes, and all of these were coins. I really see little incentive to playby Shanners - General Competition Chat
CC e mail service - 9 years ago
Deborah When introduced it was stated "we'll store emails for a month (subject to change) then delete them. You can't reply to them" As I was concerned that I might miss out on a prize by not responding I asked how this could be avoided but did not get a clear reply I stopped using cc e mail some time ago but still have over 3200 rather meaningless e mails in my cc eby Shanners - General Competition Chat
Re: Ladder points and coins - 9 years ago
I have entered this competition a few times at the start but don't bother now as points and coins are worthless. No idea why the ladder or points is continued with as it is going nowhere fast.by Shanners - General Competition Chat
Re: Ladder points and coins - 9 years ago
I have not looked at the ladder for a while as it has long been accepted that it is meaningless and the points and coins are worthless. However I am amazed that despite entering every competition this month I am am behind 2 other competitors by more than 40 points.How can this be?by Shanners - General Competition Chat
Riddle Race - 9 years ago
The "Riddle Race" clue has not changed today Is it only me but I am not really excited by this new competition? More like Hangman than a proper riddle race.by Shanners - General Competition Chat
Re: How many competitions do you enter? - 9 years ago
I also enter most competitions on this great site. I have won next to nothing and I am concerned that I am disqualifying myself by not agreeing to join mailing lists or be contacted by the competition organisers. Also I just wonder how many of the prizes are actually awarded. I know that not every one posts their winnings on the Winners page, but looking at the number of people on the Ladder, thby Shanners - General Competition Chat
Re: 'Our Competitions' - 9 years ago
All I was asking for is a return to what we had several months ago without the complicated add-.ons that don't work or add any value.by Shanners - General Competition Chat
Re: 'Our Competitions' - 9 years ago
The ladder may not be going but I have gone from the ladder. I have removed my profile and never bother with it now. I upgraded my membership as I enjoyed the Members Only competitions . It seems strange that there are no longer any announcements regarding winners so I am wondering whether these too have fallen foul of other well documented problems. There is absolutely no feedback from the maby Shanners - General Competition Chat
Re: DOES ANYBODY ACTUALLY WIN? - 9 years ago

Re: Ladder points and coins - 9 years ago
If everyone who does not like the ladder removes their profile then the penny might dropby Shanners - General Competition Chat

Is this what you meant by "Lighten up. This is getting as serious as football."by Shanners - General Competition Chat
Re: Ladder points and coins - 9 years ago
I agree that all the changes have not been for the better. sites such Spot the Difference, Treasure Hunt and the ladder have adder nothing. I have decided to remove my name from the ladder and just enter competitions.by Shanners - General Competition Chat
Re: Ladder - 9 years ago
The ladder is still not working for me and has not been for some time. No matter which method I use my points are not added. I am not going to get too bothered about it as the points and coins have no value. There has always been a suggestion that this might change and we might be able to use them for something. Apart from the rather poor box game, there is absolutely nothing to do with them.by Shanners - General Competition Chat

When is Phantasy Football returning? This was a brilliant idea and I really enjoyed playing it.by Shanners - General Competition Chat
Re: Again, something new. - 9 years ago

Re: a bit quiet - 9 years ago
Another very quiet day. Just to put a bit of context on this The Prize Finder has published over 380 new competitions since Monday and this is a free site,by Shanners - General Competition Chat
Re: a bit quiet - 9 years ago
I am very disappointed that new competitions have almost stopped and despite requests there is no explanation from anyone. I have another 20 months left on my subscription and if things don't improve I will cancel and seek a refundby Shanners - General Competition Chat
