Why not Gold?

69 replies
I do have one caveat. Please remember that some members are not in the position to pay for a Gold membership. This is a free to access site and younger members and those living in countries with a poor exchange rate would have difficulty paying what we would think of as a small amount. Therefore lots of enthusiasm but no hectoring!😂

Dear Peter, I thought the prize draw was for everybody! In the rules and regulations it says: This free prize draw is open to anyone aged 16 or over. You do not need to purchase any memberships or products to enter. My qouestion is: Is the prize draw only for gold members and not for everybody? If this is so, I can upgrade and also support the site, but if not, you have to change in the text.
Due to gaming laws, and need for a lottery licence if we make Gold Membership and Draw Entry mandatory, it is available to anybody "no purchase necessary". You see this a lot with product manufacturers when running promotional prize draws.

We have 3 people in the May Draw that simply sent in their details by recorded delivery, and they will be entered as promised.

Being a Gold Member gives you AUTOMATIC entry into every draw, every month though, and also supports BeoWorld.  

Seeing as a Postcard, 1st Class Stamp, and Recorded Delivery in the UK will cost you about £1.20 plus your time going to the post office, queuing, and getting home - paying the £2.50 to be automatically entered would be an easier option? For some, they decided to go for the cheaper option - and obviously £1.30 means a lot to them. This is their choice of course, and i accept this fully.

Facilitator, go for gold and shine in society : "Yes, I'm a major donator to one of those philanthropical societies but I want to stay discreet on that, you know..." 

And who would possibly want a bronze medal anyway?

Lee did you get my PayPal. Didn't recieve any confirmation from them in my private email.

Hi Henry!

Yes, i got it thank you, and sent you an email in return thanking you for your very kind donation to BeoWorld.  😎

You really shouldn't have, but everything recieved goes towards taking this site further, and making it better for its members and users.

Speaking of payment and supporting Beoworld...

Lee, I picked up a white t-shirt in Struer and wrote my name on your list. I haven't received any information on how to pay for it, though. How do I go about this? I'd like to get it sorted before it disappears in the vast canyons that used to be my memory. 😉

Oh, and it looks great! 

I will be contacting everyone shortly. I have it all written down, you will not escape! 😂

Why not?

I believe when I registered on the new site it said that only European members would be eligible for the monthly drawings.  Maybe I misinterpreted what I read.  So, is it possilbe to upgrade from Silver to Gold?

Absolutely not the case - this is a worldwide site, and the prizes will be the same no matter what country the winner is in.

If you can find me the text that says "Europe Only" i will delete it immediately, as this would be an error!

So, how do I upgrade from Silver to Gold?  I have not seen that as a possibility.  I see that I can create a Gold membership, but it is full price.  Is there any way to upgrade?

Thanks,

Michael
