All Deals Asia "Guess & Win" Contest

When: Contest ends on 8th February 2012
Where: All Deals Asia
Contest Type: Creative Writing
*No purchase required

Prizes:
Top 2 most liked: Luxurious couple spa treatment for 2 each worth $798
Most creative comment: A set of exquisite jewellery from Her Jewellery

Count the number of hearts at the top of the website and submit your answers on the page. Then you have to leave a comment saying why you deserve to win the prize. The 2 most liked and the most creative entry wins.

Here's one the of most "creative" entries I've seen in the last ... 26 minutes of my life.

Then I'll be winning every contest I join, because I'm also very lucky, and I read and obey the T&C's extremely carefully.


Now, allow me to digress a little and focus your attention on STEP 3 of "How to win":

Click on the picture if you can't see it clearly. Step 3 says: "To increase your chance of winning" you must like their page and leave a comment...
But right below it, in the terms and conditions, it states that winners will be selected based on the most accurate answer and highest number of likes on the comment. Which means, if you don't comment, you don't even stand a chance to win. So aren't you misleading people with "To increase your chance of winning"? Why not just make it: "You must comment..."

This is not the first contest with such misleading rules of participation.

It's getting dry these days. It's getting harder and harder to find contests on the net, and fewer people are sharing their contests leads. To make things worse, I've not receive any contest related emails in my mailbox for the past week! If you have contests that you would love to share, please email me at: CornFlict@hotmail.com

NTUC Send a Cheer Contest

When: Contest ends on 12 March 2012
Where: facebook
Contest Type: Online
*No purchase required

Prizes:
Top 3 most sent cheers, received cheers, & opened cheers:
$20 NTUC voucher each

Lucky draw:
50x $10 NTUC voucher


I'm not entirely sure what this cheer is about, so I'm not going to comment on it. Instead of the usual sending to 4 person, you need to receive 4 cheers from your friends in order to enter the draw for one the fifty $10 NTUC voucher. I'm only posting this because I find that if you can get 4 people to send you cheers, you have a really good chance of getting that $10 NTUC voucher, if that is even significant to you, that is.

As for the top 3 for each category, the prize is just plain ridiculous. At least give $30? no?
