dazmondo Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Taking a few hints from "jonnylarge", on the ploy to collect a shed load of cards ?. Went ito my regular fill up shell garage, £5.00 = 1 pack cards filled up again £5.00 = 1 pack of cards + strange look Filled up again £5.00 = 1 pack cards + disgusted look Filled up again £5.00 = 1 pack cards + what the hell am i playing at ? filled up again £5.00 + 1 pack cards + now your being a dick head ! filled up again £5.00 + 1 pack cards + if you dont stop it were calling the police ? ooooooooooooh !!!! Reply im going to keep on doing this until i fill the tank which is about £55.00, you could just give me the balance now in cards and i will fill it right up ,OR just carry on as i am, it`s my leagel right ? dunno if it was but still didnt work so i eventually spent £54.70, and ended up with 11 packs of cards and was called a wonker dickhead tosser and apparently the police were on there way, !!! STILL DIDNT GET A FECKING EXIGE AFTER ALL THAT !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_simon Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Language And I am sure in the T+C's of the competition, it says one pack per Garage per visit per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Good call! You could just remind them that the promo is ending this week and would they mind awfully handing over some extra packs of cards. Nah, that'd be too easy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chav Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 So they effectively said "If you don't stop spending money here, we're calling the police?" Seems to me that they're the w4nkers! Good on ya, for not letting them bully you from doing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danksy Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 You don't need to fill up to get a card, due to the lotteries and gaming act, anyone can walk in and ask for one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomme Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Thats odd, as when i filled up with normal unleaded, as they had run out of opti, and i asked for a card they said they could only give them out if i had bought opti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danksy Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 If they do this they are breaking the law, and you should report them! Taken from the BACC website.... [ QUOTE ] For copy clearance purposes, claims such as 'win X prize', 'your chance to win X', 'enter our fabulous competition to win X' etc. trigger the question 'Is the competition based on a substantial element of skill, whether mental or physical?' If the answer is 'YES' (and this is relatively rare), it is legal for consumers to have to buy a product or service in order to enter the competition. Check, however, that there is skill throughout all stages of the competition, e.g. a general knowledge question and a tie-breaker where a panel of judges takes the decision on the final winner/s. If the competition entails answering a general knowledge question (= skill) with all correct answers being put into a draw to determine the winner, this introduces an element of chance or luck. Such a competition is illegal where entry is conditional on consumers buying a product. Usually, claims such as 'your chance to win X prize' etc. relate to prize draws which are based solely on chance or luck. These are acceptable provided that those responsible for clearance get hold of the full terms and conditions of the draw and ensure that they contain a published, unlimited and realistic 'free entry' route whereby consumers can enter without buying the product. Advertisers must confirm that details of the 'free entry' route are widely displayed. Copy must include the tag 'No purchase necessary' and a further tag which highlights how consumers can find out about how to enter for free, e.g. 'Contact X for details/See in-store for details/See on-pack for details/Pick up a gamecard'. Draws based on chance or luck which do not have a 'free entry' route are illegal lotteries and advertisements which do not include the tag 'No purchase necessary - Contact X for details' also become illegal. The tag 'No purchase necessary - contact X for details' and the 'free entry' route are currently deemed not necessary for competitions run on the Internet where no money goes to the advertiser of the competition and there is no link between the advertiser and the Internet service provider or telecommunications company. Advertisements which do not refer to a specific competition/draw but refer to competitions/draws generically, e.g. 'plus a range of exciting competitions' do not need the 'No purchase necessary' tag but you need to check that the competitions are nevertheless legal and have a free entry route. Where it is clear from the copy that no purchase is required, e.g. garages offering the chance to enter a competition with a free test drive or a shopping centre offering a free prize draw on its opening night, the copy does not need the 'No purchase necessary' tag and you do not need to research the free entry route. Scripts for promotions which require the collection of tokens (i.e. listeners to buy more than on of the product advertised) must make this clear. If more than ten tokens are needed, the number of tokens should be stated. [/ QUOTE ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiftyPence Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 bit late now though seeing as the offer closes on 07th. I would help out but: A) i havent bought petrol in around 2.5 years B) they dont sell optimax over here anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
