Noticeboard

The CompetitionsGuide.com.au Noticeboard has information, updates and news about our site, plus winners of our exclusive competitions and the odd "quick comp" that we'll run from time to time.

Get paid to find competitions!

Are competitions your hobby? If you're always finding out about competitions, why not tell our members.... and we'll actually reward you.

Our Comp-Hunter Rewards Program gives (very) selected members the chance to earn points for each competition published, which can then be cashed in for Coles and Woolies gift cards.

We're only looking for a small number to comp-lete our team at this stage, who have a passion for competitions.

If you're interested, drop us a note via our Contact Form and we'll get back to you with details.

 

New ticks and crosses sort function.

We've now allowed logged in members to be able to sort by

"Ticked first", which displays in order of ticked/not ticked/crossed

"Not ticked first", which displays in order of not ticked/ticked crossed

Remember that Featured competitions will always appear on the front page.

Any bugs, please contact us via the contact form.

 

Heard about us on radio? Let us know

Hi Members,

We've had just on 30 new members in the past hour saying they heard us on radio (17/8). If someone could drop us a note on our enquiry form and let us know where it would be great

Regards,

Craig

P.S, we've found out it was Mix 106.3 Canberra - thanks for the plug guys, owe you one!

 

Have you appeared on TV game shows?

A television lifestyle program is looking for people that have appeared on TV game shows in the past.

Whether you've won anything or not, it doesn't matter. Please drop us a line on our contact form and we'll put you in touch.

 

New features coming

Next week Competitions Guide will be adding some much asked for features. The most important will be the ability to sort between competitions ticked (only the ones you've decided you like) and those you haven't ticked (and also eliminating those you've crossed out)

We're also getting rid of the question mark .... a lot of members don't see a need for it, and in saying that, neither do we.

 

Blog comment competition winner

Thanks to everyone who posted a blog comment yesterday, there were some great submissions.

We picked a winner and it was a hard decision. Bron's comment regarding purchase-to-enter competitions received the most votes.

Congrats Bron, you've picked up $100 for your efforts.

"Purchase to Enter comps
I have found that purchasing products to enter comps is a good way to try different products, with the added bonus that you might win a prize. My family all changed to a different deodorant brand that ran a comp. I found I really liked the product, plus it was less expensive than the more commercial brands, so we made the switch. The icing on the cake was when I won $200 in the comp - I'm now a loyal customer. Interesting to read Janelle's comment above re. WOL comps.
Bron"

Changes to competition listings

Members may have noticed that we are not updating competitions as often as usual. Don't worry, we're not pulling back on our objective of bringing you lots of quality competitions.

Our average member visits us once a week, so aside from the odd new feature, the bulk of our competitions will be added on Tuesday (which is also our new Newsletter day).

Doing things this way means we have more time to concentrate on competition selection, which we know is important to our members.

Next week, we're also launching a new "bonanza" competition with lots of prizes, and even daily entry!

 

Newsletter competition winner

Congratulations to Jennifer Levine who was the 20th emailer with the correct answers (which were Adrenalin and Wyndham Resorts). Jennifer has won a $100 Woolworths Safeway Gift Card.

 

Skincare Store pack competition winner

Big congratulations to Deb Harrison, all the way from the Northern Territory who is our lucky winner.

Deb has won herself a pack from the Skincare Store valued at $518. Well done, Deb!

From Deb: "Today I received my SkinStore prize. What a win! And two daughters hovering to share the prize. Thanks so much to CompetitionsGuide ... a wonderful site."

 

New changes at Competitions Guide

This week we have added facilities for our members to be able to change email address and password automatically.

To ensure your address is correct, if changing your email address you will need to click and confirm in your nominated email address.

Your old email address will be active until your confirm your new one.

 

Log-in changes now active

It's taken a long time, but we've finally fixed the problem of members wanting to enter a competition and being re-directed to the homepage after logging in.

If you now choose to not stay logged in and click on a competition you will be taken to a launch page and then enter from there. This means that if you find a competition you like on page 4, you won't need to go searching for it again!

 

Competitions Guide features in That's Life Magazine

Thanks to member Mandy Graham who named our site the "Website We Love" in this week's That's Life Magazine. It's the second time in two years we've been given that honour, and there are a lot of websites to choose from.

To say we're appreciative is an understatement. Thanks again Mandy!, and also to the That's Life team.

Craig

 

TV program and women's magazine looking for winners

We've had two approaches this week from both a television program and one of the larger women's magazines looking for winners wanting to tell their stories.

If you've had some big wins and would like to be included let us know via our contact form.

Even better if you're a couple or family that are successfully into competitions as a hobby!

 

Information on email codes for our Skincare Store competition

If you want to find email codes for our competition, the first code appeared on our newsletter issued Thursday 11th Feb.

Further codes will also appear on each email sent during the promotional period.

 

Place CompetitionsGuide.com.au emails on your safe list and you could win

Starting soon, exclusive Competitions Guide competitions will be issuing codes through our newsletters and sponsored emails.

You will need these codes to be able to enter our exclusive competitions.

If Competitions Guide emails are ending up in your spam box, make sure you mark them as "not spam". This way you won't miss any chance to win.

Note this applies only to emails from the address news@competitionsguide.com.au

 

Win a $500 Coles Myer Card or signed books

Thanks to all members who took part in this competition - we received a large number of new members as a result.

The winner of the major prize is Sue Lynch of QLD. This wasn't an easy competition to win. Sue sent only one email, however her approach to the recommendation was appreciated and very well thought out.

Winners of the ten books have been notified, we'll post their names once confirmed.

 

Your Stories Page

We have discontinued this page, not because it wasn't visited (in fact it was highly visited), it was an unfortunate lack of stories. Instead, we have replaced with a feedback page which directly answers competitions questions that come to us.

 

Xmas New Year & Competitions

To all members, Competitions Guide is not shutting down for the holiday period, however we won't be adding competitions on Xmas Day, Boxing Day or New Years Day. Other than that, it's business as usual!

 

Competitions - The Book Orders

To all members that have placed orders, the last batch has been sent today I've been assured. Any final orders for Xmas will need to be placed before 22/12 at 3PM to make the mail (pending strike action). Thanks again for the support, Craig

 

Marie Claire competition

We incorrectly labeled this competition as free to enter. A bottle of wine must be purchased to enter. This has now been corrected, sorry for the error.

 

Competitions Guide $500 Coles Myer Gift Card comp update

We have had a number of requests from members wanting an alternative to sending emails to their friends, therefore have expanded the competition to allow for posts to FaceBook and other online forums.

 

Win a $500 Myer Card + More competition

Those of you who visited this comp this morning will note there's been a change of prizes, purely due to some stock shortages with the book.

Just a reminder that if you are entering this competition, don't forget to include info@competitionsguide.com.au - if you don't do this we won't be able to credit you with the entry.

 

Problems with Optusnet

We have received a number of complaints from Optusnet customers (of which we are one) who are receiving 3 newsletters at once.

Our latest information is that Optusnet has difficulty receiving large numbers of emails at once. To get around this we are now sending newsletters in smaller "packets", 15 minutes apart.

It seems to have worked at our end, but please let us know if this is still continuing.

 

$500 Coles Myer Gift Card competition

Thank you to all members that entered.

The winner is Romola Hopman of VIC, who is a fairly new member of Competitions Guide. Congratulations Romola!
