Cm36 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Just got my copy of the Guardian, the guy in the shop didn’t have a clue what was going on but sussed the scanning system out once I shown him the instructions. One down, thirteen to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedcircle Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Picked up the guardian today! It seems a bit odd though - is the scanning of the barcode tracked to the purchase of the paper? Or could you request the barcode be scanned without purchase and get the same result? the guy at our newsagent knew exactly what to do! bit of a worry...

It'll be for two tickets. I can't say exactly when it'll start, but hopefully before the end of next week. It does seem only right and proper that you should be given two tickets for your own competition. I'm glad that somebody saw fit to acknowledge this site, the way they have.

pantu the dog Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Can anyone help with the guardian competition please? I just got a copy at the co-op and the woman behind the counter did not have a clue what to do even after I showed her all the various instructions.

They have to scan the comp barcode through paypoint. If barcode doesn’t work on paypoint, they should follow the detailed instructions underneath the barcode for paypoint. You should end up with a till receipt showing 15p off they should keep the paypoint receipt. If they won’t do it., don’t buy the paper and go somewhere else Edited May 4, 2019 by Levitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won a lounger and a Festival Pack. Not quite tickets but you never know. Signed up for the Guardian draw, but you have to buy a paper each day and they are £2.20 each and it runs for 14 days. Gotta be in it to win it though Tbf I haven't bought a Guardian yet, at £2.20 for 14 days I think £30 is a lot to spend to potentially not get anything from it when there is another 3/4 competitions floating about.

I wonder if this is the way that they are getting rid of any returns rather than a small resale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy it once during the 2 weeks, you’ll get 1 entry, if you buy it every day, you’ll get 14 entries. It’s costing me a fortune as me and my girlfriend both have barcodes and I agreed as I am desperate to go I would buy them for both of us. Idiot.

Okay cool, well I've not got it today which I'm guessing was the start day?, so it's just 1 for me. Fairplay, it's a lot of money to not end up being successful.

I always consent to marketing emails and then after the draw I unsubscribe. I also have a separate email account for stuff like this anyway so it doesn't clog up my normal inbox.
