DareToDibble Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) This is mental isn’t it? We’re all going mad over receiving/not receiving a text Another thought is that if, like me, you registered via email address and not phone number then they wouldn’t have your number to text you anyway? Relax all - we’re all winning tickets Edited May 17, 2019 by DareToDibble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’re supposed to keep the receipts to get reimbursed for the 15p off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had to give it back a couple of times. Good to see it say “Entry successful” on it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb66 Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 I was going to have a go at the Guardian comp until i went into my local convenience store and explained to the guy behind the counter what i needed to do and he looked at me as though i'd just explained how to manually calculate pi to 428 decimal places. I decided it wasn't worth it.... instead i walked out with a copy of Razzle and a kitkat ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot rocks Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 I’ve had a text, nearly dropped my phone in shock ! Just a reminder to keep buying the paper, I’ve been leaving it behind the till for regular customers after a snotty comment off the shop assistant last week ?

Padgey Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Only 2 more days of this Guardian rigmarole, hopefully it has been worth it for those putting the effort in! This morning I said to the women in the newsagents I've been mostly purchasing mine from "if I win I owe you one", not sure they were the words I should've used!!!

I haven’t been getting the 15p off - it was difficult enough finding someone willing to scan the barcode so I haven’t been too bothered. That said, according to this ... https://nfrnonline.com/news/cash-incentive-for-independents-to-push-guardian-glastonbury-competition/ ... the 15p is supposed to be a bonus for the shop for pushing the competition. Seems fair enough to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noonard Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Still hammering the Oxfam volunteers page in the hopes of some luck. Annoyingly I saw Glasto pop up on it twice last week (when I wasn't even trying that hard) and by faffing about I didn't sort it in time. Seems much less likely now. I'll keep trying but that feeling of doom is all too near...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lycra Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Well I think we're in the final 90 minutes of any secret resale occurring this year ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franathy Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) I think secret resales have now sadly been consigned to history, along with jumping the fence and popping down to HMV to buy a ticket the day before the gates open.
