Compers News - November 2019 by Compers News

November 2019 www.compersnews.com

DEAD LUCKY Bonfire Night used to be the main UK autumn celebration. Then Halloween – and the American Trick or Treat tradition – took over. For the last few years we’ve also seen Day of the Dead grow in popularity, meaning that the week spanning the end of October and the beginning of November is now home to three compfriendly special days.

Trick or Treat and Penny for the Guy are two phrases most associated with this time of the year, but Compers News member Fiona Haward can add another: Día de Muertos.

Our Latest Wins... Compers News members have reported these BIG prizes since our last issue!

✓✓£10,000 cash ✓✓£5,000 holiday voucher ✓✓Diamond ring worth £5,000 ✓✓Flamingo-spotting trip to Spain ✓✓Luxury holiday to the Maldives

The Day of the Dead – Dia de Muertos – is a colourful Mexican festival remembering and celebrating friends and family members who are no longer with us. It falls on Saturday 2nd November this year, and Mexican food and drink brands are increasingly embracing the holiday.

Fiona Haward got in touch to tell us that she was the very lucky winner of a holiday for 2 to see the Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico City last year. “We stayed in the 5* Gran Hotel Ciudad de México, which has featured in two James Bond movies and is famous for its Dia de Muertos events.” “It was a fantastic few days. The only disappointment was that, of the five text competition winners, only three couples actually turned up.” It sounds like the others missed out on a great prize, but it was a shame they didn’t have the courtesy to let the promoters know. They might have even been able to choose some reserve winners to save the prizes from going to waste.

And here’s just a small selection of the other prizes you’ve told us about during the past month! UEFA Champions League trip to Lille £2,500 holiday voucher THREE £1,000 cash prizes Whisky trip to Scotland FOUR £500 Nike gift cards Hot air balloon flight £500 worth of power tools TWO Merlin annual family passes Amazon Echo smart speaker £300 shopping voucher GoPro Hero camera Monster Energy BMX bike £500 cash

£50 Halfords gift card Case of craft ales £250 Amazon gift voucher Party on the Coronation Street cobbles Year’s supply of Pomegreat juice THREE Fitbit Ionic activity trackers Last Night of The Proms tickets £50 B&Q gift card Plus LOTS of cash prizes from Velvet Mini fridges and

beer from Coors Wilko gift vouchers from Vanilla £50 gift cards from Asda Innovations UEFA Champions League prizes from Gillette Amazon vouchers from Subway HP photo printers from Kanzi apples Cider packs from Stowford Press And much Est. more…

NO TRICKS, JUST TREATS… THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PRIZES TO WIN INSIDE!

The Calm Before The Storm Hello again everyone, and welcome to the November issue. You won’t need me to tell you that Christmas is fast approaching, and as usual the number of new comps popping up on supermarket shelves is increasing as a result.

there’s Halloween itself on 31st

2nd November and Bonfire Night on 5th November – and although Halloween is usually the biggest of the three for compers, it’s worth keeping a look out for comps linked to all three events. The ‘party’ and ‘colour’ vibes are often impossible for promoters to resist, but the comps do tend to be very short-dated affairs so you’ll need to keep your eyes open on social media and in local shopping centres to make sure

October, Day of the Dead on

you don’t miss out.

Before we all go full-on festive though, there’s the Halloween week to navigate. As you’ll see from this month’s cover story,

We all know that next month is the busiest of the year, when literally hundreds of daily Advent comps appear, so try your best to get up-to-date with everything before the inevitable December rush… and Good Luck with all your entries. Don’t forget to let me know about your wins.

Don’t Shoot The Messenger I do sometimes feel sorry for promoters (yes, really!). A few years ago, I’d very occasionally receive a complaint about a competition I’d listed in the magazine – it’d usually be something like why I should be boycotting a major brand because of something they had (or hadn’t) done at some point in the past. But nowadays, I’m forever being told off. Don’t encourage people to enter comps on plastic bottles… comps that encourage kids to eat junk… comps that offer prizes of no discernible use that’ll inevitably end up as landfill… some of you are very difficult to please! Of course, my main plea here is – don’t shoot the messenger! It’s my job to present as many comps to you as possible and, as long as they’re legal, decent, honest and truthful, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to enter them or not. But 2

if I get so many comments and complaints, I do wonder how many a promoter must receive. There must be a danger that it’ll put them off running comps in the future, surely? It’s good that people are more aware these days – although I personally do miss those old-style comps when you needed to collect fifty bottle tops, a couple of dozen crisp bags, a hundred chocolate bar wrappers or whatever – but if a promoter starts thinking that they can’t do anything right then there’s a serious danger that they’ll simply stop trying. There’s no harm in being constructive – perhaps we could encourage recycling by suggesting to Walkers or Cadbury that they ask for empty packs to be sent in to them just like the old days, for example – but the current negativity could potentially put promoters off running comps completely. And I’m sure that none of us want that! Compers News • November 2019 • www.compersnews.com

The Results Are In... I received hundreds of entries for my five-year anniversary competition. The lucky winner was Rhoda Pippen from Cardiff.

The final results of my anniversary poll were as follows: Online 30% Creative 27% Text 16% Purchase 14% Postal 13% There were too many entries to reply to individually, but I did read them all. Thank you for all your comments and good wishes. Many of you pointed out the shortcomings of my poll! For example, you are happy to enter text competitions if they are free, standard rate or the cheapest way of entering. However, you would not enter if it was an expensive cost of say £1.50 when a postal option was available and cheaper. Several readers also pointed out how good local competitions are, and those in children’s magazines which are entry form only. I was surprised that competitions where purchase is necessary

Read the original article in our July 2019 issue online at www.compersnews.com

Karma Drama You may remember that back in the July 2019 issue I talked about a competition with Karma holidays. Mrs S contacted me about a competition she entered with them in conjunction with Sunrise Radio. She received an email telling her she had won a prize, but it was not the prize that Mrs S had entered for – a holiday to India – and she was confused. With her permission, I referred this to the ASA but didn’t expect them to go to too much trouble. However, I recently received this ruling from them: We have discussed this with Karma. They explained that on 16th January 2019, Mrs S entered a competition with Kingfisher and in order to enter the competition, she was required to give consent to Karma that they could send her marketing communications as well as enter her into other competitions. They have confirmed to us that on 20th April 2019, she received an email about a further competition which was to celebrate Karma’s 25th anniversary and she entered that competition online. Again, her entry into that competition was dependent on her agreeing to her data being used for marketing purposes and to be entered into further competitions. The prize for the anniversary competition was a seven-night complimentary stay in selected Karma Resorts along with a refundable booking fee of $50. On 27th April, they explained that Mrs S entered a further competition with Sunrise Radio which carried the prize of seven nights’ accommodation at one of the Karma Group’s resorts in India. However, the email she received that announced her as a winner related to the 25th anniversary competition, rather than the one with Sunrise Radio. As such, we consider that the prize awarded to her as the winner of the Anniversary competition was as described. Nevertheless, we do have concerns about the way in which Karma is obtaining consent from consumers in order to send marketing communications and we concluded that the matter could be resolved by providing advice and guidance about the Advertising Compers News • November 2019 • www.compersnews.com

Rules that we apply and I am writing to let you know that we have taken steps to address this. We have explained your concerns to the advertiser and provided guidance to them on the areas that require attention, together with advice on their obligations under the Advertising Rules. Well done to the ASA for pursuing this. It is very confusing with all these different but similar competitions and prizes. After discussing the ruling with Mrs S, she doesn’t remember entering any of the other competitions, and it looks like by ticking a box to give permission for her data to be used they were actually allowed to keep entering her into any competitions that they wanted to. Madness! This is obviously a reminder to check what you are agreeing to with these tick boxes. Please do let me know if you have any experience of the Karma group yourself. Needless to say, Mrs S has written to Karma and told them to remove her from their database - we shall see. 5

Write Result This reader query was not actually a true competition, but I was happy to try and help. Mrs W sent me the following email - I have changed the name of the magazine in question: Back in January I told a story of mine about how I saved a car crash to Super Stories magazine. On the phone with a researcher, we agreed a £500 fee which I was happy with as in the magazine it says you are paid up to £2,000. I didn’t expect to receive £2,000 so I was happy with £500. Unfortunately, I did not get this in writing. The story was published in March 2019 and since then I have sent various emails to the researcher who I told the story to without getting a reply. The magazine’s Facebook team eventually gave me an email address for the person who would deal with this – a Mr K. I emailed him and he linked me into another email to a lady asking her to pay me £100 which was not what I was originally told. This was weeks ago now and I have still not received my fee. I didn’t question the £100 as it had taken me so long to get that far. I know this isn’t a competition win as such but as it’s a win I was wondering if you could still help me. I know that a lot of Compers News readers enjoy writing in to magazines, so I was happy to try and help. A bit of research showed that the magazine involved was a relatively small concern, and that the Mr K dealing with the matter was actually the editor. I emailed him and received a very curt reply: Mrs W was definitely NOT promised £500 for this story which made a short in our magazine. We NEVER pay this sort of money for story shorts, in fact we barely EVER pay this amount for double page spreads. Nice try but no, she will not be paid £500 for this and was NEVER promised this sort of amount. For short stories, single pages and health spreads we pay £50, for all others £100. 6

Ouch! He went on to say that if I wanted to discuss this matter any further I needed to call him, which I did. He asked me what my fee was to chase payments and prizes and was amazed and unbelieving when I said it was voluntary! He told me that he would have to further investigate the issue of how much the payment would be. Mrs W originally discussed her story with the magazine in January 2019. It was published in March, and now it was May. I started to email or call Mr K every week to ten days but he ignored me or didn’t answer his phone. By July, I was beginning to despair that Mrs W would ever see any payment - by now she said she would happily just accept the £100 just to put an end to the matter. I didn’t think that we could go to the Advertising Standards Authority as this was not related to a competition. The only way of getting the money would be through the Small Claims Court, which would involve an initial payment of a court fee by Mrs W which I didn’t want to risk. Eventually, on 24th August, Mrs W emailed me: All sorted! Thank you very much. I came back off my holiday and checked my bank and they had finally paid me £100! No word from Mr K on this or why it took so long, but I am pleased that it is sorted. I thought you may want to know that he said you were harassing him and were not a legitimate person! I assured him that you were, and that as I had been waiting months, I had contacted you for help. Thank you again. What a cheek! Me harassing him - it took five months from publication to payment, surely he shouldn’t be surprised that we were chasing him. All he had to do was reply to one of my emails with a date Mrs W would be paid and I would have accepted that, I do not harass people! The lesson here is obviously to get any promise of payment in writing before your story is published. It would have been impossible to argue the case for £500 without any proof or something in writing. Compers News • November 2019 • www.compersnews.com

SWEET SURPRISE I saw a competition listed in August’s Compers News to win a holiday voucher with Swizzels sweets. There were daily prizes and a top prize of a £5,000 On the Beach holiday voucher. It was a judged competition where you had to take a photo of yourself enjoying your summer with any Swizzels product. We spend most of our summer at a beach hut in Walton-on-the-Naze, so it seemed natural to choose that as the back drop to our photo. It took days to prepare and was incredibly windy on the day of the photo, so we had to change a few things. But luckily for us, we were chosen as the overall winner of the £5,000 holiday voucher. We can’t wait to start booking! A big thank you to Compers News.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES Back in September we managed to combine two wins to make a great break away. Firstly, I won a C2C Trains competition to go to London to see The Mousetrap with an overnight hotel stay, then my wife Sara won a Superbreak competition for two nights in Paris with Eurostar travel. So we travelled to London on Thursday morning, had a wonderful day in the capital and saw the 27,971st performance of The Mousetrap, which was great. The next day we jumped on the Eurostar to Paris and went up the Eiffel Tower, a lifelong ambition. We visited the Arc de Triomphe and sat in traditional French street cafés watching the world go by. On Sunday, it was back on the Eurostar and home. What a great hobby comping is, especially when you can combine prizes like we did. Thanks Compers News!

Delayed Flight Rome wasn’t built in a day and nor was winning a holiday! I have been a continuous subscriber to Compers News and its predecessors since 1985, and after 34 years I am thrilled to finally report my first win that involves a flight! Here I am at the Trevi Fountain in Rome on a prize trip courtesy of Tesco and Walkers. The prize had originally been advertised as two nights for four people, but Cloud Nine and Walkers let us swap to four nights for two. The hotel was fab and me and my husband Gavin celebrated our first wedding anniversary too! Comping gives me so much. I love the magazine, check in with Chatterbox daily, and have made great friends at a comping group. And that’s before all the fun of winning prizes… We got back from Rome two days ago and I am writing this to you from another hotel room! I am on

a prize trip to Devon, won with a writing magazine. And we have yet another prize hotel stay to take soon, meeting a football legend with Budweiser. Thank you. When you are a Compers News comper there is no such thing as a flat week, because good things WILL happen – even if it sometimes takes a bit of time!

Wynn Win I was lucky enough to win a three-night trip to Las Vegas recently which included flights, accommodation, tickets to the Tyson Fury fight and $650 in spending money. My husband even managed to win $900 on Blackjack at the Wynn Casino, so I couldn’t resist getting a photo of me with my copy of Compers News outside the Wynn Hotel.

Like Twitter, the platform is constantly changing and can prove frustrating for compers! This month, Di answers Facebook related questions from Chatterboxers and CN readers.

Then change Who can see your friends list? from public to friends, (globe icon) in order for the promoter to see your share. However, the post doesn’t have to be shared specific friends or ideally, to only me. In addition, think carefully about what you on your own Facebook profile. You can create a share on Facebook and who you share it to. I have public group solely for the purpose of sharing my closest friends and family labelled as ‘Close those ‘Like & Share’ posts.

by typing @, then spelling out the name. A pop up menu should appear with options and you can select the person/page you want to tag. Sometimes though, the name doesn’t appear in the pop up list. If this happens, try and create a tag with the name (or numbers) in their URL. For example, my full URL is www.facebook.com/di.coke so you could tag me by typing @di.coke. As you type the profile picture and name should appear below the text.

My Facebook friends are not into comping, so how can I get to see more comping posts in my news feed? Having Facebook friends who love entering comps is a great way to find comps on Facebook - but not everyone wants to add compers as their friends, and would rather only add close friends, workmates and family. This does mean that you’re not likely to see many prize promotions on your feed though, so how can you fix that? Facebook learns from what you tell it - with every post or advert on your feed you can click the three dots to the top right and tell Facebook to hide a post. If it’s an ad you can tell Facebook why you don’t want to see it. You can also choose to Unfollow a person or group (you’ll still be friends, or a group member - but won’t see the posts in your news feed). Also make sure when you do see a comp on your feed, you enter it - those clicks and Likes tell Facebook that’s what you want to see! These tweaks can help you to curate a feed that features more comps and less chat. Also, do a search and join a local competitions group on Facebook - the posts will appear on your feed.

How can I find local comps on Facebook? In addition to searching for a local Facebook comp group, you can try searching win competition Brighton (but using your local town, city or county). Facebook search isn’t very efficient at all, considering how much content is on the platform but sometimes it can give good results. On the Facebook website you can restrict a search to a month and year - scroll down to the bottom of the left hand menu to find this option. On mobile it’s only possible to choose a year (tap Posts when you get your search results, then Date posted) Even if you don’t find current comps, visit any interesting pages and tap Follow so you’ll know when they launch their next comp. When you do

this, you’ll see related pages pop up underneath and can find local pages to follow that way too. I have a few local business pages that I always set to see first - so when they post, it will be right at the top of my newsfeed. To do this, go to the page, tap the three dots then Following. Here you can change settings to get notifications when they post - or choose to See First in your feed. There’s a limit on how many Facebook pages you can Like - so if you’re not required to Like, just Follow the page to keep up to date!

Should we be concerned about how much data Facebook gathers from us? Facebook knows an awful lot about us - and has detailed information about every photo we’ve uploaded and action we’ve taken on the app. But we also share personal data to other companies, when we use a third party app to do a Facebook login. In the past we’ve probably allowed a lot of competition apps access to our data by using Facebook login, so you might want to have a clear out. Do this at www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications - or open the Facebook app and from the Menu choose Settings & Privacy > Settings > Security > Apps and Websites > Logged in with Facebook. From the same settings menu on your mobile, you can adjust your ad and news feed preferences - it’s worth having a look through and making adjustments to improve your Facebook experience. Facebook also tracks your location, but you can turn this off in your phone Settings > Facebook then change Location to either Never, or While Using the App.

How do I add fancy text to my posts? Most of us are able to add emojis to our Facebook posts and comments these days - but what about those comments that are in a fancy font? At www.coolsymbol.com/cool-fancy-text-generator.html you can type in your text and choose from a selection of typefaces. Then simply copy COMING and paste the text back to Facebook! N

We’re keeping things simple with a single ‘Winning Mix’ pack size and price, but you can order as many packs as you like while stocks last. And, as always, the price you see is the price you pay – there’s nothing extra to pay for postage and packing.

By keeping administration to a minimum this time around, we’ll be able to deliver your order in just a few days subject to stock availability. But do ACT FAST... if these new cards sell out as quickly as the last batch, they’ll not be around for long. So order TODAY!

Order easily online at www.CompersNews.com/postcards What our members think of our postcards... “Thank you for the brilliant postcards that have just been delivered. They are really excellent.” “A really good selection of images. Thank you.” “Lovely designs and quality postcards.” “Thank you, my gorgeous postcards arrived this morning. That was quick! I really like the designs.” Terms and conditions apply. The designs here are a small selection from our collection. All orders are put together completely at random to keep costs down, and we cannot guarantee that specific designs will or will not be supplied as part of your order. It is not possible to choose the designs supplied as part of an order. Accolade Publishing Ltd is not responsible for any items lost or damaged in the post, no cash alternative. Offer is available while stocks last. For full terms and conditions please email: compersnews@warnersgroup.co.uk. Open to UK residents only. Please allow 28 days for delivery. Prices inclusive of VAT.

This Month’s Lucky Winner! Each month, we select ONE of the nine categories shown on your Golden Ticket Bingo card. We’ll then randomly draw one entry from that category as the category winner.

HURRY!

LAST CHANCE TO ENTER! Final closing date is 31st October 2019.

How To Play Can YOU complete any of the nine categories on your Golden Ticket Bingo card? If so, cross off the relevant square(s) on your Golden Ticket Bingo card, and send us the photographic evidence. How you interpret each square is entirely up to you – anything goes, as long as a 2018 or 2019 issue of Compers News is clearly featured in the photo. If you can complete more than one of the categories on your card, send us photos for them all and cross them all off… the more photos you send, the better your chances of a prize – and we’re giving away special LINE and FULL HOUSE prizes too! You’ll need a copy of the special Golden Ticket Bingo supplement that was printed in our March 2019 issue for full game instructions, rules and your all-important Golden Ticket Bingo card. If you don’t have this supplement you can download a copy at

Each of our nine individual category winners will win EITHER a Golden Ticket Comping Day prize, or a £50 cash prize. There are FOUR Golden Ticket prizes and FIVE £50 cash prizes up for grabs for our lucky category winners – prizes are allocated entirely at random.

MAIN CATEGORY WINNER! CATEGORY: ANY PRIZE FROM 2019 PRIZE: £50 CASH WINNER: LINDSAY ROBSON COMMENTS: This was a lovely prize from the Co-op text to win with Pringles and Coca Cola. As well as the gorgeous picnic hamper the prize included a DAB radio and a £50 Co-op voucher.

TURN OVER

Here’s your up-to-date Bingo Card! Here’s your 2019 Golden Ticket Bingo card, with the squares that have been “called” so far crossed out in traditional bingo style. Once a square has been crossed out, it means that the main category prize and winner has already been drawn for that square – but you can still enter your photos for any crossed-out squares to complete your line and/or full house combinations, or for a chance to win one of our monthly spot prizes. Remember that remaining squares can be ‘called’ at ANY time, and once a square has been called it won’t be included in any further monthly draws. So, get your entries in as soon as possible… the earlier you enter, the more prizes you could win!

About Our Listings File

NEW This is the first time that the listing has appeared in Compers News, so we give detailed information about the competition and how to enter. ONGOING This listing has previously appeared in Compers News, so in some cases only brief information may be included to remind you that the competition is still out there and to carry on entering.

UPDATED This listing has previously appeared in Compers News, but there have since been changes to the original information.

++ The closing date shown is the final one for the competition, but there are

earlier closing dates during the promotion too – for example, multiple draws and/ or a final ‘mop-up’ draw for late entries after the main prizes have been awarded. So always check to make sure you don’t miss out on the earlier draws and prizes.

Costs: For phone and text entries, the amount shown in brackets is a guide to the

total cost of entering each comp. For PHONE comps, your Network Access Charge (NAC) will typically be up to 12p per minute from a landline and up to 50p per minute from a mobile, depending on your network and tariff. Unless we tell you otherwise, your call will usually last around one minute. For TEXT comps, your Standard Text Rate (SR) will typically be around 10-15p depending on your network and tariff; note that these texts are unlikely to be included in monthly plans or free text bundles so you should always expect to be charged when entering a text competition.

Purchase Needed

You need to buy something to enter the comps in this section – but if a free ‘No Purchase Necessary’ (NPN) option is offered, we’ll give you all the details. We strongly recommend that you keep your original codes, packaging, till receipts etc. safe as they may be needed to claim a prize.

Beat The Ed Find a new competition and

win yourself up to £100 cash! Your editor has been a genuine comper for over 40 years, and prides himself on going out most days looking for new comps. But he can’t be everywhere – and this is where you come in! Chances are you live in a different area, shop at different stores, buy different products or read different newspapers and magazines… so can you find a brand new comp first and BEAT THE ED? Any comp that we can use in Compers News or Compers News Express qualifies – including any on-pack or in-store promotion, any entry form or leaflet, any magazine or booklet... and even major web comps too! Simply send us an original or clear photocopy of all the actual comp material – including the small print. And if you are sending us something from a magazine where the answers and/or T&Cs appear on different pages, please make sure that you send us everything. Post entries to: BEAT THE ED, Compers News, PO Box 8763, Nottingham NG2 9BS, or scan and email to: editor@compersnews.com – putting ‘BEAT THE ED’ in the subject line. Please enlarge any particularly tiny small-print before emailing. Every time you send us a comp we haven’t seen before and that can be included in Compers News or Compers News Express, you’ll get an entry into our monthly AND annual draws. The more times you BEAT THE ED, the more entries you get – so if in doubt, send it in!
