Re: Open The Box - 5 years ago
I must eat humble pie. I have just won a voucher in the current game!! Johnby Shanners - General Competition Chat

I don't really agree. I enter competitions to win prizes and I stand by my comments.by Shanners - General Competition Chat

A rather disappointing and patronising reply.by Shanners - General Competition Chat
Re: Open The Box - 6 years ago
The current game has just finished and six "lucky" people won a bag of worthless coins and 58 won a nothing. We are told that "The prizes are chosen at random, it is possible every box could be a voucher".Really?by Shanners - General Competition Chat
Membership renewal - 7 years ago
I have just renewed my membership for another 3 years. I have been very critical of the management and deterioration of this site over the past year but while nowhere near the standard of when I first joined, there have been green shoots of improvement in recent weeks. Hopefully I can win my £20 fee in members own competitions in next 3 years!! Johnby Shanners - General Competition Chat
Re: Rebus/Where in the World - 7 years ago
Did we ever hear who won these competitions in April or see the answers? I may have missed the announcements.by Shanners - General Competition Chat

Re: Rebus/Where in the World - 7 years ago
Sorry to say I will also be leaving. The site has been poorly managed for some time, with delays in sending prizes and problems with links/answers. The rather pointless ladder would suggest that others have also decided to go elsewhere as just over 60 people have amassed over 100 points this month. Also the lack of posts on this Forum suggest that most members have given up as all posts are ignorby Shanners - General Competition Chat

Re: Rebus/Where in the World - 7 years ago
We are also very light on Members Competitions with only 3 running for the past 19 days (four if you count the pointless Treasure Hunt). The general competitions have also reduced in number (in comparison to the numbers on other FREE sites) and all appear very late in the day.by Shanners - General Competition Chat
Re: Entry Method - 8 years ago
Deborah Unfortunately I am still getting coins and ladder points. I am also using another site for new competitions as there are many more than on CC. Previously I stayed loyal to CC and gathered as many points and coins as possible but as there is no benefit (apart from the possibility of winning the odd £5 garden center voucher) I am happy to look else where.

Re: Open The Box - 8 years ago
Why does anyone bother with this "game"? The last one closed with 1 garden voucher and 3 useless bags of coins won out of 64 boxes.by Shanners - General Competition Chat
Re: CC Email - 8 years ago
This was another feature that never worked ( like CC coins, Ladder, Spot the Difference, and Treasure Hunt, etc. It was introduced by UKinet in August 2014 as follows "We're now giving upgraded members their own email address to use for entering comps, it will be in the format xx@ccuser.co.uk and will be shown on thby Shanners - General Competition Chat

Round the World Race - 8 years ago
Is it just me or has this new competition become guess the location from photo? In the early days we were given a decent clue which could be used to solve the puzzle. All we get now is - name the city or town in the photo. Unless you have been incredibly lucky to have either lived in or visited the location, how could you possibly guess the name from the photo without a clue or some other form ofby Shanners - General Competition Chat

I had a similar experience earlier in the year and posted several times about it but got no response or explanationby Shanners - Off Topic Forum
Re: Quick Entry - 8 years ago
Totally agree Deborah It is such a disgrace that this site has deteriorated so much and the management have quite simply demonstrated they do not care. I will not bother renewing my membership either which is a shame,as I used to enjoy visiting the site, The Treasure Hunt fiasco and the utter nonsense with the coins and ladder points are two examples of how this once great site lost its wayby Shanners - UK Forum
Re: C C members competition results - 8 years ago
Could it be that members are fed up with this site. No updates, no communication from April and prizes not being awarded?by Shanners - UK Forum
Re: C C members competition results - 8 years ago
We are now in the third week of June and still no announcement of winners of Rebus Puzzle or Riddle (hangman!) for May 2015. Just wonder if there is any point in entering the current THREE competitions open for up graded (paying) members. Competitions is a rather generous title for them as one is a lucky dip open to enter if a letter appears in your name and another is a rather tired anagrby Shanners - UK Forum
Re: 'Our Competitions' - 8 years ago
The first week in June is over and still no Our Competitions or contact from the administrator or details of who won the May competitions. Does anyone else feel that Competitors Companion is slowly being closed down? It would be nice for someone in authority to have the decency post some form of explanation. The total silence is a strange way to deal with paying customers.by Shanners - General Competition Chat

Re: Riddle Race - 8 years ago
The Riddle Race appears to change several times some days. As I work and cannot access the internet until the evening I am at a disadvantage to all those who can enter any time during the day. I would like to suggest that the "hangman" guessing game has run its course and the riddle race could perhaps be replaced by the Rebus Puzzle type clues, for which there is only one correct anby Shanners - General Competition Chat
Re: Games - Open The Box - 8 years ago
I have not bothered with the Open the Box game for some time as I am saving my points (or coins - is there a difference?). Don't forget when the ladder was launched we were promised " coins will be useful for various things, details will be made available soon so keep collecting". It was also suggested" we may even make a competition out of it."by Shanners - Suggestions
Re: C C members competition results - 8 years ago
I was referring to the competitions for the Kindle and the Lego which are not included in Pippins list, which I assume confirms they have not been awarded yetby Shanners - UK Forum

Re: Site revamp required - 9 years ago
Den I am of the opinion that Competitors Companion is in a total mess. What is the point of entering competitions when the prizes are not awarded and the management refuse to make any attempt to engage with its paying customers. Has any one else recently won any of the members competitions and if so has the prize been awarded? Unless matters improve I do not intend renewing my subscriptiby Shanners - Suggestions
Site revamp required - 9 years ago
I have been a member of CC for a number of years and I am becoming increasingly bored and frustrated with the site. The "Latest Competitions" section is particularly dull with 2 current competitions simply requiring the same answer daily for 2 months. The Rebus Puzzle is OK, although if you are unable to work out puzzle in week one, there is no point in looking at week 2-4. The riby Shanners - Suggestions
