Re: Contact! - 9 years ago
Well I am still waiting for replies to my emails regarding my prize win. Also I haven't received a reply following my telephone call to Phillips Accountants a week ago. I telephoned them again yesterday and was assured that the message had been passed on and that they would contact them again. They seem to be spending too much time adding new features that I for one don't want, insteby Den - General Competition Chat
Re: Site revamp required - 9 years ago
Ho Rolysb, I called the number this morning it goes through to a firm of accountants. I spoke to someone who said she only did the accounts for CC. After explaining the problem she promised to pass the message on and get CC to email me. I wont hold my breath but will let you know if I do hear anything.by Den - Suggestions

Thanks Rolysb, will let you know if I have any luckby Den - Suggestions
Re: Site revamp required - 9 years ago
Hi Rolysb, no I haven't. I have emailed a couple of times but not had any response. I had an email in December confirming my win and saying that they were waiting for new stock to come in but nothing since then. Where can I find their telephone number?by Den - Suggestions
Re: Site revamp required - 9 years ago
Hi Shanners I am in total agreement. I am still waiting for my voucher won on the open the box in December and have had no response to my emails. There are far too many bits and pieces on the site that are irrelevant.by Den - Suggestions
Re: Winners list on Site not updated - 9 years ago
I gave up on the ladder and all the other 'add ons' a long time ago and just go to the Open the box occasionally to use up any points that have accrued, as there is nothing else to do with them. Apart from that I just enter as many comps as possible and ignore all the rest. My subscription expires in May this year and I must admit I am considering looking around at alternative sites.by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: Winners list on Site not updated - 9 years ago
I wouldn't bank on it. I have posted two wins since my one that is on the winners list showing as the 31st August that have not been entered on the list. One of my wins was a gift voucher on the open the box game and despite receiving an email on the 13th December confirming my win I have still not received the voucher. I sent an email earlier this month asking when I could expect to reby Den - General Competition Chat
Re: How many competitions do you enter? - 9 years ago
I enter most of the competitions on this site as well as other sites and get quite a few wins. The only ones I don't do are the twitter ones as I don't have a twitter account. I do spend a lot of time every day entering competitions but I have quite a routine working my way through them all. I do find that I seem to go through periods when I don't win anything but then several coby Den - General Competition Chat
Re: 'Our Competitions' - 9 years ago
I have also missed some of the star shaker and keywords as they appear at different times of the day. I always try to do them early in the morning but find that sometimes the previous days are still there and then I seem to miss them altogether. It seems as if there are too many things going on at present and the real reason for joining the site is being overlooked.by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: DOES ANYBODY ACTUALLY WIN? - 9 years ago
I posted notice of a win recently but it didn't appear. Must have gone to the same place as all my ladder points!by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: Ladder points and coins - 9 years ago
I totally agree kevincharley & rolysb. It has got far too confusing lately. The original system was much better. Why all the different options, surely you only need one button to click on to access the competition and get the answer, and then click to confirm you have entered it, and ladder and cc points are meaningless.by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: Ladder points and coins - 9 years ago
Think I will probably do the same if the problems are not resolved soon. Links to the competitions are the main reason for using the site, all the other bits just seem to be detracting from this lately.by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: Ladder points and coins - 9 years ago
All the links work for me but they just don't add ladder points.by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: Ladder points and coins - 9 years ago
I tried entering by all different means yesterday but only earned ladder points on the 'ours' comps. I think it is all getting too complicated lately with ladder points and CC coins etc. All I really want is a link to a competition and an answer. As far as I am concerned the original system worked best for me.by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: Ladder - 9 years ago
Hi Pippin No, I click on the competition description which highlights the whole row and takes me to the page with the competition link.by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: Ladder - 9 years ago
Same for me, but as long as the ladder is there I cannot resist checking it.by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: Ladder - 9 years ago
I see some people are accumulating points again. I have only gained points for 'OUR' comps. I have entered all the new comps added today but no points have been added to my total for any of them. Is the ladder worth it as it seems to be causing more problems than it is worth.by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: Ladder - 9 years ago
Just realised that my points are not working either. Not sure how long for though.by Den - General Competition Chat
Achievements - 9 years ago
Recently I have entered a couple of Late Entry competitions, I have also been a Competitors Companion Winner but these two items are still listed under achievements to get. How do I get the points for these items and also get them added to my achievements?by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: Very big change - 9 years ago
Hi Deborah It sounds as if you are not displaying the menu bar. Move your cursor on a blank area at the top of your screen and right click. You should then have a drop down menu of the various tool bar options. There should be an option for 'Menu Bar' which if you left click on it it will display this menu with the help button on it.by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: Very big change - 9 years ago
If you click on 'help' at the top of your screen and the on 'About Internet Explorer' on the drop down menu it will tell you which version you are using.by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: DOES ANYBODY ACTUALLY WIN? - 9 years ago
We all go through those periods. I haven't had a win for weeks now but I usually find that when I do have a win I seem to get several all at once. Just keep entering as many comps as you can.by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: DOES ANYBODY ACTUALLY WIN? - 9 years ago
Do they know if the entry comes from a competition site?by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: Shortlist - 9 years ago
Click on 'Page' on the command bar at the top of your screen then select 'Compatibility view settings' competitorscompanion.com should already be showing in the 'add this website' bar then just click add. The page should then re-load with the alternative settings. You can always go through the same procedure to remove it if it doesn't work.by Den - UK Forum
Re: £25 Keyword - 9 years ago
Yes, there are times when it pays to have a long name with lots of different letters in it, and keyword works very well for me. I had two of those letters. I think there has only been one day since joining when I didn't have any of the letters in my name.by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: Shortlist - 9 years ago
I had that problem a few weeks ago. I had to change the site to compatibility view settings and after re-loading the site it was OK. Hope this works for you.by Den - UK Forum
Re: Ladder - 9 years ago
I do keep up with the forum. I am a full member so get 4 points per comp. I cant see anything else in the text below the ladder to give me any clues for gaining more points other that what I am already doing. Will just keep on doing all the comps and forget about the ladder.by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: Ladder - 9 years ago
I have just completed all the competitions listed today and am now 122 points below the leader on the ladder. What is going on? Am I missing something here? Think I will stop checking the ladder as there is no way I can catch up.by Den - General Competition Chat
Re: Ladder - 9 years ago
I have entered every competition available as I always do so how is it that some people always seem to get more points on the ladder. Is there some other way to earn points other than entering the competitions?by Den - General Competition Chat
