What's the purpose of CompetitionsGuide.com.au? Are there any fees?

CompetitionsGuide.com.au is an online resource of the subject of competitions.

There are no fees required to join our site.

 

Who owns CompetitionsGuide.com.au?

CompetitionsGuide.com.au is owned by Craig Bradley Market Engineering Pty Ltd (ABN 65 104 780 458), and managed by Promotions Consultant Craig Seitam.

The business is fully Australian owned and operated.

 

How can CompetitionsGuide.com.au be a free service?

CompetitionsGuide.com.au is sponsored by promoters, who pay to either have their competitions listed on the first page of our complist pages, or for advertising on the site.

 

Do I have have to become a member?

You can look around at any time, but access the listed competitions you need to register.

Joining only takes a few minutes, and the only info we need from you is an email address (which you need to confirm)

 

What's types of competitions and offers does CompetitionsGuide.com.au list?

CompetitionsGuide.com.au mostly provides a mix of competitions to give our members a variety which includes a combination of;

- Chance competitions (winners are drawn at random)

- Skills competitions (usually judged on the answering of a words-or-less question)

- Free to enter (no charge to enter)

- Shop to enter (you need to buy something before entering)

* Note, we don't note charges such as SMS or 1900 phone entry as a purchase.

 

What's different about CompetitionsGuide.com.au?

There are a number of competitions sites around, so every need can be catered to.

Some sites charge and annual fee to join, others are free.

Some sites may only list competitions that they've been paid for, others list around 2,000 comps as part of a forum.

CompetitionsGuide.com.au delivers a balance, we're selective about what we do list, and strict with what we don't

 

Where do I find a code for the Skincare Store competition?

The Skincare Store competition is valid from 15/2/10.

You can enter as many times as you wish, but each time you must enter a new code. Codes can be found in any email sent from news@competitionsguide.com.au during the promotional period.

Please enter only once for each code. If you enter more than once on the one code we will disqualify all of your entries.

If you can't find the emails we suggest looking in your spam/junk folder and marking emails from news@competitionsguide.com.au as safe.

 

Do you only list competitions you've been paid for?

No. As a guide, we list competitions that would be of interest to our members. Promoters wishing to have their competition listed at the front of the guide "features" pay to do so.

 

Why don't you review the competitions that you list?

We take the position of offering a guide, not a review (although we used to review individual comps). We don't take a positive, negative or neutral view on our listing pages, we leave you to do this.

Having said that, if we see something working particularly well we may include it in our blogs.

 

How can I WIN more competitions?

If you're serious about wanting to WIN, you should invest a small amount of time and money in buying "Competitions - The Book".

For only $9.95 (plus delivery if bought online) it's a sound investment for competition enthusiasts!

Stay tuned for our frequently updated blogs, as they're full of useful hints and tips.

 

I'm getting swamped with emails, help!

If you enter online competitions (particularly survey and reward comps), you will receive a sharp rise in emails.

CompetitionsGuide.com.au recommends receiving our emails into your main email account (so that you know about the competitions), and have a separate email account from hotmail, yahoo, gmail etc. for competitions you enter.

Be warned though, check this account regularly as you might WIN a competition and never know.

 

By joining CompetitionsGuide.com.au do I receive emails?

Joining CompetitionsGuide.com.au does mean that you will receive a newsletter every week (Wednesdays or Thursdays) and no more than two additional sponsored mail-outs as part of your FREE subscription.

 

Can I unsubscribe from the mailing list?

You can at any time, simply by following the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any CompetitionsGuide.com.au email.

Opting out of the mailing list means you won't have access to the guide, plus any entries you have placed in exclusive competitions will be canceled.

 

I want to receive your CompetitionsGuide.com.au updates but aren't getting them?

This means your spam setting is probably doing the it's job a little too well. Depending on your email settings you can list the email address news@CompetitionsGuide.com.au.com.au as a trusted site. It doesn't always work, but give it a shot.

Latest Update:

Hotmail will list mail from CompetitionsGuide.com.au in the Junk box. Simply "mark as safe"

Gmail and Bigpond at this stage treats our email as standard.

Yahoo seems fine, but seems to take forever to arrive .....

 

I can't access some of your guide listings?

Again, this can be an internet security problem. Try disengaging your internet security program and try again.

 

How can I contact CompetitionsGuide.com.au?

Either on the Contact page, or by emailing info@CompetitionsGuide.com.au.com.au directly.

 

Can I contact you if I have any questions about competitions listed?

We can answer any question on any competitions that are marked as exclusive? Any other issues you'll need to take up with the promoter (refer terms and conditions of each competition)

Having said this, if there's anything incorrect please let us know.

 

My "update status" button doesn't seem to work

There are some solutions when this occurs;

Firstly, make sure you use the "go back" button in the guide page, and not your web browser back button.

If that's not the problem

1. Try refreshing your web page, this can be a simple solver

2. Make sure your computer's date is exactly correct.

3. Make sure your computer is set to allow cookies (the gizmos that allow your PC to remember things)

 

Why doesn't CompetitionsGuide.com.au have a forum?

People who love forums are well served, and you can find either free or subscription sites.

We would rather spend our time finding competitions and offers for you, than worrying about moderating forum content.

 

I haven't received my registration email

This is mostly caused by incorrect email addresses, although not always.

Check your spam filter, as this can sometimes block our emails.

If not, send us a note on our contact page and a number of other solutions will be sent to you.

 

I've changed email addresses, what do I do?

On a CompetitionsGuide.com.au new or closing competitions email you will find an unsubscribe link. Follow the unsubscribe process.

Then simply re-register under your new email address.

 

Can I suggest a competition for listing?

You can suggest a competition at any time. If it sounds good enough it will be listed in the guide.

 

What if my business wants to list a competition or advertise with you?

Visit our "List Your Competition" or drop us a line via our contact page and we'll get back to you with a media kit

 

I'm getting multiple newsletters and updates!

This can happen if you've entered competitions under various emails in the past.

To fix this, simply unsubscribe from any email received from each address that you don't want emails to be received from.

 

Some competitions listed are for other competitions sites?

Yes, a bit like a free-to-air TV network advertising Foxtel. We do accept Feature Listings from other competitions sites, and you're always free to choose which ones you like best.

 

Do you screen competitions that are listed?

To the best of our ability, but we can't always be sure. We normally are notified very quickly by our members if a competition is suspect.

Having said this, often competitions you sign up for may offer competitions and freebies that we would not accept as listings.
