Title: Weekly Winners - 25 - 31 July 2011
Post by: fishbrick on Monday 25 July 2011, 07:08:29 am
COME ON IN AND TELL US WHAT YOU'VE WON   

Just a friendly reminder that this thread is to post about your wins or to congratulate others on their wins - keep it positive.
Negative comments (such as "didn't win anything today") will be removed to keep with the good spirit of the thread.

Also a reminder for those wishing to sell any unwanted prizes, to please use the Unwanted Prizes or Auction sections for this purpose.  Please do not list your intent to sell in this thread, as this would show Trainees what is available and would invite them to pm a seller directly.  Trainees do not have access to the Unwanted Prizes or Auction sections, and have to attain the status of Junior Member before they are allowed to trade.  This rule is to protect our trading community from members who have no established posting history in ACC.

Thank you and Good Luck to everyone for the coming week      :)

I got a call from Air New Zealand congratulating me on winning two tickets to NZ. I have no idea what competition these came from - I think they might have been from a Snow or Ski expo but these shows were all back in May. Anyone have any idea which comp this might be - the letter says the prize is for flights only between Sydney and Christchurch or Queenstown. I live in Melbourne so I don't know why I would have entered for flights from Sydney (now if it was flights from Sydney to London then I definitely would have entered).

Got a WEM from the Behind the Bid - I won the iPad 2 for this month! Thanks spog777 for the post.

Seriously guys - if you have not entered this comp then go and do it now (it is Facebook related so some of you might not want to join on principle). They only have 338 people involved and they are still to give away 4 more iPads and a $5000 holiday! Plus they give away five merchandise packs a week (which seem to go to new members).

Seriously guys - if you have not entered this comp then go and do it now (it is Facebook related so some of you might not want to join on principle). They only have 338 people involved and they are still to give away 4 more iPads and a $5000 holiday! Plus they give away five merchandise packs a week (which seem to go to new members).

Ross, thanks for the tip, I have not seen this until now

Ross we are working hard on trying to win a ski trip, it's sooo expensive to ski here!
I got a call from Air New Zealand congratulating me on winning two tickets to NZ. I have no idea what competition these came from - I think they might have been from a Snow or Ski expo but these shows were all back in May. Anyone have any idea which comp this might be - the letter says the prize is for flights only between Sydney and Christchurch or Queenstown. I live in Melbourne so I don't know why I would have entered for flights from Sydney (now if it was flights from Sydney to London then I definitely would have entered).

Mystery solved. It was from Three Thousand and it was a 25wol (third ski related trip/holiday I've won with the same tag line!). Also it was a mix up on the prize letter and they are going to change it to be flights from Melbourne.

I decided not to take this during ski season because the price for accommodation and ski lift tickets in NZ was going to be astronomical. The Rugby World Cup is on soon so they are obviously looking to milk all the tourists who are there and want to go skiing.

Instead I'll look at taking this early next year.

Both my Mum and I won a "silky quilt" from 'Better Homes & Gardens' - thanks sammyt for the post. Also a watch turned up from "Pacific Magazines" - absolutely NO idea what comp that was from. And Miss Four won a colouring comp at the local shopping centre. She'll be over the moon with her $50 gift voucher and more colouring stuff!



Congratulations Larabelle (and your mum). I so wanted to win one of those quilts. How did you find out you won? Did the quilt just arrive in the post? What colour combination quilt did they give to the winners?

Thanks Ladybird: They just arrived at the door on Wednesday - Mum rang me at work to tell me one had arrived at her house - a gold/red/brownish striped one - and then I got home to find one at my front door too - a dark blue/white striped one. I must admit I have entered that comp for about 3 years  and never won anything so it was a real coup...

A winning letter to say I've won $100 worth of Dr. LeWinn products from the Dr. LeWinns "Why Old Can Wait" promotion.

I also finallly received my $2,000 Alannah Hill gift voucher from the Max Factor / New Idea makover competition - after 17 weeks!!  I'm in Melbourne this weekend so good timing for a shopping trip!

And a GC Bella Ladies watch from Harpers Bazaar valued at $550.

So, a great week all around as I've had quite a drought lately!

Wow pbellcat, it was worth the wait, some great prizes there!  I'm hoping to get a Dr Lewinn's letter too, fingers crossed!

Some great wins this week, congrats everyone.  Just double-checked my Dairy Farmers yoghurt container, they are giving away $1000 travel vouchers instant wins - well done Misty1, I've entered that one a number of times & no luck yet.  But I ended the week on a lucky note, WEM from Vibe Village/Cadbury Mousse, won $100 Endota spa voucher - yay, love a bit of pampering!!!  :blob3:

One here too. It's been such a long time since I've managed a win from them. They're such  a hard one to crack for me.
