It's a scam, unless you want to be inundated with call centre calls from India...go ahead.

I just skip to the end. It says I have been accepted and entered, so I take it at face value. Mind you, you should open up a special email account for doing competitions. So far in my "special email" I have about 6,500 in the in box and about 5,000 in the junk box. I merely go through each day and enter a search by "congratulations" or "congrats" to see if I've won anything. Having done competitions now for about 5 years I can cheerfully say I haven't won a brass razoo and the shock of actually winning something will probably cause me to die of a heart attack! :-)

Yeh not many wins being listed - or other helpful information and tips like there used to be

I'm so dubious about competitions that ask just to sign up with your email and no other details. I guess they just want to bombard you with advertising and newsletters. I never see any winners names or announcements.
The amount of overseas call centres that ring is just ridiculous too.
I guess someone must be winning all these comps as this is the worst year I've ever had at not winning anything. Perhaps more people are doing it now. ??

I've had a few wins. Nothing huge but I'm yet to win a really big one. Just enough to keep me in the game.

1st win in 18 months, tickets to the a show during the Sydney Fringe Festival...took my significant other and we had a good laugh, a nice dinner and a couple of drinks! Reminded me it is not what you win it is how you enjoy the win. xx

Congrats @KittyKat65

It happens all the time unfortunately!

I've given up doing the surveys. It's simply not worth the time and effort. You fill out a lot of questions and waste time only to find you have been screened out - then it takes a month of Sundays to have the privilege of gaining a pittance.

just did three surveys each about 15-20mins long, got to the end and no points rewarded at all!! what a waste of my time!!

That's awesome, congratulations

Sharing this to Facebook :P Great News!!!

Well done i did that for foo fighter tickets a few years back. Congrats!

How wonderful - you've actually won something. I've been entering competitions here for years and not even a tram ticket! :-) The only reward I have is an email account with 500 spam message daily.

Can someone tell me about the Tax angle if one should ever be in a position to win an overseas holiday. I am an old-age pensioner - so a tax bill would mean I'd probably have to sell the house.

Right down the bottom

Congrats! Here's to many more!

Congrats

nice win!

Congratulations

We're still keeping it on, but there will be a 2 week delay.. PayPal processing can be all too time consuming and an accounting nightmare and hard on fees esp with NZD (We're in NZ also).

Nice win mate!

Congrats, have fun :)

Great win and there's always the comps at the show too. :)

Congratulations.

Happy days!

Nice win

It is very quiet now isn't it, no wins here unfortunately.

Bj74 i have started up again after a few months off. Hopefully soon there's a winners call or email for you :)

Hey @surferboy83, biggest prize for me so far this year was $2000 worth of Noritake tableware.

Good luck for a winning call or email for you. Sure you will add a holiday or two to your prize list :)

Hey @surferboy83 glad to hear your still entering those trips! Largest win this year for me has been an iphone 8 ($1079). Congrats on your win @Smalot11 :)
I've seen some of these surveys before so I doubt I will be eligible again and I don't know how the third parties involved will use this information so I don't access this site much.
A lot of hard work for points and I'm normally time poor. (Personal opinion only).
Anyone on here is quite welcome to send me a friend request or give me a follow on insta and I will follow you back. Not entering as many now ( because of time) only the 'bigger' ones lol. Good luck to everyone and looking forward to hearing of your next big win @surferboy83 :)
and yours too @Smalot11 :) and crossing my fingers for you @bj74, you can have a loan of my fourleaf clover. :)

Thanks @fourleaf Congrats, an iPhone is always a great win. :)

I tend to be comping more over on Ozbargain these days, same username, happy also if you wish to connect on FB or insta. Instagram is still a work in progress for me.

Smalot11 and fourleaf cheers back and what great wins! Here's wishing you many more too! Well done!!

Thanks@fourleaf

@Smalot11 sent through a friend request to you :)

@fourleaf :)

A $250 voucher at my local shopping centre for me.

@Jrob71 Congrats, nice prize :)

Nice one! @Jrob71 :)

I am winning bits and pieces sporadically ,will always enter comps, can't stop now,the bug is alive and well, and once you taste that winning wine,it's addictive, good luck everyone,@surferboy,your a great example as to what can happen....and happen and happen again,and again, lol

Cheers Trevsta. same as you I'll just keep going and going :)

Never. Stopping either mate. Can't stop now, come too far!!!!

Hi @Donald4564,

If you're screened out right away it could be a number of things including the quota for the survey being full. Surveys need X participants and if they are met they will close the survey off. It's important to attempt the surveys as they are sent when possible.

Admin.

They must close them before they send out the email asking you to participate! That's all I can say.

Thanks. Tried it. I opened about 10 surveys and didn't qualify for one! Another half hour wasted.

@Donald4564 playing game & activity give you quiet alot points and filling out poll etc

with the survey your points do not show for a few hours i read

pretty easy to gain points and get prizes with it

Happy Days. ??

Yes! Don't you just hate it when you've waited 5 minutes for a survey to open up, then answered about 25 questions only to be told that you are screened out or the quota's been filled? This morning I had 5 surveys in my box. I didn't qualify for any of them but managed to waste over half an hour on them. Really, saving up a trickle of points for over 9 months or so for the possibility of getting $20 is just not worth it!

I love (not) the survey that ask if you about your Business Role - starting from CEO or CFO down to Managing Director or ones that ask your Household Income starting at $150,000. Do the survey companies really think these types of people have time or inclination to do survey to make a living? Ha

Yes, a small win but still a win. (signed cricket bat)
I also nearly missed a trip I had won and the guy ended up contacting my parents (as my number is silent) and rang me.
It turned out to be the best trip ever! So glad he persevered.
Now I try to be extra vigilant scrolling through my endless e-mails. Probably have missed out on others that I didn't know about.
Ignorance is bliss...LOL
I dislike how some comps only require your e-mail. I think I'd rather be rung up and congratulated over the phone :)

I have two email addresses: one personal; one only for comps. Every few days I do a search on Keywords like congrats; congratulations; winner to see if there is something I have won that I need to respond to.

That's a great idea!

I usually do that though a lot of spam e-mails I have noticed start with "Congratulations" to hook you in believing that you have won something when you have not, just for you to send back your details...lol

Voted for sure

voted :)

Voted

Thank you @fourleaf @Delighted @bj74

Done :)

Voted. Sorry I've been quiet lately on the comping. Good luck :)

Its been very very quiet indeed . full stop. period!!

VANUATU

thanks!! smalot11

Good luck wolverine, new code BEACH

thanks again smalot11 - I have been watching them via tenplay (I don't get to see them when its on channel 10) and the code words don't seem to get shown watching it this way. Or it might be just me, but I have watched both episodes twice now and still didn't see it.

No worries. Good luck to you. Sounds like a great family holiday.

@wolverine Same here, it doesn't seem to show up some how on the channel. :/

Netrewards always have them listed too

thanks bj74 that's very helpful! (what does bj stand for - I can think of one thing I know it stands for)

@wolverine , lol, get your mind out of the gutter, it's my first/ middle name initials

sorry @bj74 just seeing who's paying attention. Not as much activity on this forum lately.

@wolverine lol, all good. I agree though, it has been pretty quiet on here.

Very quiet *hears cricks* :)

@Smalot11 And it's not even cricket season. :)

@Lemond :) haha hope you have had some wins lately

Same, and just got 1st survey in a while, but was terminated after a couple of questions, got 5pts for that.

Nah, don't think so, yeh nah

@admin I don't think this topic has anything to do with comps

HI. Are you still having this problem?

Sounds good, it's a great thing I reckon :)

great

Happy Dayz!!

sounds great! - a few other ways to collect compbux would be even better

I still don't get your emails

I still don't get your emails

That sounds great thanks

Yeh, looks like incentive stuff admin, I like it :)

Great idea, well done!!

The more bux to help feed the cows....well..the better I say, each point counts, now back to sleep

@FARMER-TYSON , don't you mean back to sheep? Couldn't help myself :) lol

Gold @Brokemaree93!!! :)

Sounds good :)

Last 2 surveys I got were 150 each, go figure!! :)

Hey I would just like a survey that doesn't got for 20 questions & then tells me that I am not quite the person they are looking for.

totally agree with gaseja!!!

I absolutely concur!! :)

I just had 2 that were for 150 then. Both times i got 5 points and was over halfway done with the surveys. The emails i recieve are only 75 points, so i think it might only be 150 points for surveys now and then.

Same here, 2 surveys worth 150 each, heaps of questions than get told I don't qualify, woohoo got 5 points each. This way, It will take years to get enough points to have any sort of cash out. Looking back, in over 12 months I have only qualified for 1 survey and been able to complete it, omg.

Hi there should be some coming through at 150, the 75 points will be bumped to 100. You need to view the survey page for the 150 points ones for now..

started a 150 point survey now, go to 11% did not qualify, not even 5 points!!!

started a 150 point survey now, go to 11% did not qualify, not even 5 points!!!

That's not so bad @flowerpower98 I have had many times when I have been at 70-90% and then told I did not qualify, getting no points as well!

Go into the survey section on top of page and it will show you your 5000 compbux, but I am sure you need like 5200 to redeem 50 but for 3400 you can redeem 30, see how u go :)
