I shouldn't really have to be saying this, but all of a sudden people have stopped bothering to claim their prizes from the BeoWorld Prize Draw.. Yes, i know - it's crazy!
We didn't have one single unclaimed prize for 9 draws, and from there on we have seen 2, 3 and then 4 prizes unclaimed.. The current draw has had 3 emails returned, leaving 70% of prizes unclaimed so far. I used to get emails within hours of the draw - now it's not the case!
I go to a great deal of effort to enable the draw to happen, and without sounding like a moaner - it's not really my job to hassle and chase people in order to give them their free prizes!! I assume some emails don't get through due to spam filtration perhaps, but would it be too much to ask to click a button once a month to open the prizes tab and see if you've won anything?
Anyway - this isn't a moan, i really do want to give everybody their prizes and make them happy BeoWorlders - but i simply haven't got time to be chasing members and bothering them to be doing something they should be doing themselves already.
I am adding to the T's and C's that all prizes not claimed in 90 days (that's three months - which is ample) will be re-entered in a future draw. I think that's fair.
If anyone would like to check the last draw 'winner list', it's on the 'PRIZES' section of the main site at the bottom of the page, and if you would like to search previous draws, simply enter the month name and the words 'prize draw' after it. The search function will find the draw immediately, and you can read through it at your leisure.
I do send emails at the end of every draw to all the winners, and even 'cc' a copy to Peter as back-up. All i can do is inform the winners on their registered email address - the rest is up to you guys. I do want you all to have your prizes - you deserve them for being Gold Members and supporting BeoWorld !!!
