Just another con Fender. We have never ever entered such "competitions" and refuse point blank to "participate" in the win a prize online survey invitations that most retailers are now encouraging. Load of time wasters that are manipulating their own customers.

i have entered some competitions in the past and got loads of e mails back which is a nuisance. still you can delete them as i do.

MOften they are syndicated too- so not only are you up against other buyers of your item/magazine but also against other products' customers.

I am in the Free Postcode Lottery. it really is free and they really do give out the cash prizes. You just enter your postcode,if it comes up you win. You have to log in to it once a day to see if you have won or your prize is rolled over.

I was in that Eddie- but then the weekly emails stopped and I can't remember the site or my login
