Please be very wary of putting in a fake birthdate.
I did this for security reasons last year and was disqualifiied from a $1000 win because it was wrong.
The company wouldn't accept my reasons for doing so, so I have learnt my lesson.
As you can imagine, I was devastated, all I could think was at least it wasn't a bigger prize than that I missed out on.
Sorry to read about your disqualification MsComplover.
Unless a contestant is below the required age to enter the competition, I do not understand why promoters need someones exact DOB.
I must say that in all the years I've been comping I have never been asked for proof of my birthdate in order to receive a prize. I've had to supply copies of my drivers licence on some occasions but that is a rarity.
I think comp promoters should realise that in these times of internet scams that entrants are worried about leaving too many personal details with them. I often wonder what happens to all those details supplied by entrants after a promotion has ended.
