Advantages: May win Prizes Disadvantages: It may take forever
...navigate but the new improved MyOffers.co.uk has changed all that and definitely
for the better. Here’s how it works:
THE HOME PAGE!
Purple and yellow tones are very appealing to the eye, which is always a bonus after a long day at work. If you haven’t used MyOffers before there is a small central paragraph summing up the site and giving you the chance to click and register(all the norm needed here). ...questions about you and in return you get to enter competitions and indeed find out about new web sites that may be of interest.
Once you have registered you will see a clear orange box that requires your email and chosen password to log in. When you’ve logged in the screen switches and shows the “Price Draw List” on the left hand side, showing any competitions you have not yet entered.
Have you seen the new improved MyOffers.co.uk? It’s great, easy to use, quick to load and clear to the eye, no hunting for what you want. To sum up, I love it!
Everyday I log in just to make sure I’ve entered all of the competition because it’s just so easy to do. In fact it’s so great, that although I have not won anything since I first logged in last summer, I’m still trying.
However, I would be the first to admit that this was not always the case. I only used to drop in every week or two (if that) because I found it so long winded and very hard to navigate but the new improved MyOffers.co.uk has changed all that and definitely for the better. Here’s how it works:
THE HOME PAGE!
Purple and yellow tones are very appealing to the eye, which is always a bonus after a long day at work. If you haven’t used MyOffers before there is a small central paragraph summing up the site and giving you the chance to click and register(all the norm needed here).
Basically they ask lots and lots of questions about you and in return you get to enter competitions and indeed find out about new web sites that may be of interest.
Once you have registered you will see a clear orange box that requires your email and chosen password to log in. When you’ve logged in the screen switches and shows the “Price Draw List” on the left hand side, showing any competitions you have not yet entered.
In the centre of the screen is a “What’s New” box, as you may expect this tells you what new prizes have been added and on what date.
!!HOT TIP!!:
I used to go to the site without bothering to log in expecting this screen to tell me if anything’s new had been added for the day. Although it does this, it’s not always that easy some competitions repeat after a month or so and they will not come up on this screen, so unless you log in you wont know that you need to enter again and you may miss out.
Under the “What’s New” Box, is the “Featured Prize Draw” box this tends to show a special prize that is worth a little bit more. To be honest I rarely use this but its great for a new user. Read on for more information on this.
And Finally on the right hand side of the screen is the “Special Features” box, which again is probably great for a new user who is not used to the site but for reason I will explain later I do not bother using it.
PRIZE DRAWS
Prize Draws is the next screen which you will probably spend most of your time in and rightly so because it’s so easy to use and so very clear.
When you come to this screen you will see several boxes:
If you are new to the site you may wish to pick a category and then pick some prizes you fancy going for.
If you are sad like me and you have managed to fill in every questionnaire for every prize going you may want to go to the ALL PRIZES box and either scroll down and see what is highlighted in blue (as that hasn’t been done yet) or to make things even easier hit “hide prize draws entered” and guess what it will. Isn’t that easy.
If you haven’t entered a MyOffers prize draw before, it is very easy and particularly painless. It’s all flip down answers or click the box and you can still enter ever if you don’t want to give your number or address to the third party and there never very long.
After entering a competition it will give you the opportunity to email a friend with the competition or just click for more. If you have a mate who might like to enter, email them because there is a bonus in it for you?!?
SPECIAL FEATURES
This is my least favourite screen and I shall explain why, it is pretty much a more detailed version of the box on the home page. The reason you wont need to worry about this screen is because all of the competitions featured on it will also be available on the prize draw screen.
The bonus of using the prize draw screen is that you can tell what you have and have not entered. Any information not available on the prize draw screen will be available in the account screen which you will use more often, so there really is no reason to use this page in my humble opinion.
However, in the interest of being thorough and giving you an idea of what great things you can win I will go through this page. Now being that it is a special feature screen it may have changed since I have written this but I will go through today’s features.
Win A Mini
This is this years big price, yes you have guessed it, a Mini. Not a bad idea at all and the way it works is that you get one point in January for every competition entered and then in February two points for every competition and so on and so on until December where you will get 12. This box will tell you how your doing on entries, if you feel you need to take the time to look.
Win a Peugeot 206 Cabriolet
Yes another great competition to enter. Everyone what’s to win a car. This is a competition run by the sites sister company MyViewPoint.co.uk which I am hoping will also be update soon but that’s worth another opinion.
Win an MG Sports Car
Another fantastic competition but no point in using this link to enter.
Win A Toyota Corolla
Again what appears to be another sister site - OK mail. A great competition to enter but be warned you will receive junk mail from this entry. Again this can be entered through more convenient screens.
Win $60,000
I have entered this screen on a number of occasions but have never be successful entering cashback.com who sponsor this page. The site never seems to log my registration, I would be interested to know if anyone else has had luck with it. Again this can be entered through the other screens.
Win £1,000,000
Again another link which this time is to the dailydraw.com. I also use the Dailydraw.com on a daily bases but that’s for yet another opinion. Again this competition can be entered on another screen.
In summing up the page is great at picking the best prizes and promoting them but if you get into using the site you will probably find it a waste of time.
MY ACCOUNT
Clinking on this is what makes the update so great. Here you can see all the prizes you have entered this month and how many entries you have to the mini multiplier.
You will then have a box which clearly shows what competitions you can try again just by ticking the relevant box. A lot easier than answering the same questions again.
Now the bottom screen shows how many friends you have invited and weather they have joined or not. This is quiet important as you gain extra entries to the MG game if you get friends to join. These extra entries will also be shown on this page very clearly.
On this screen you can also deregister from MyOffers if you want to and indeed update your personal details. This is also the area to log out.
Well that’s the main screens covered now lets look at the subheadings. Seven in total you will find them in white writing at the top of the page.
WINNERS
Yes you’ve guessed it this is where you find out who’s won. I spend my time here checking and re checking to make sure they haven’t forgotten to email me. As you will find out they are a little behind at the moment on winner updates.
PRIZE DRAW RULES
The usual jargon you expect to find on a site like this. Here’s some of the most interesting points.
@ You must be a resident in the UK to play @ You must be over 18. @ Prizes must be claimed within 90 days @ Prizes winners are selected by a computer at random
LINKS
This page has certainly grown since I first started playing but as you can imagine there are loads of web links. Some are interesting some are not but it’s worth a look if your on the prowl for new sites to visit.
ABOUT US
Basically all the background on this London based company which I would not even dream of bothering you with.
ADVERTISE
If you have your own site and want a bit of the action and are willing to offer a prize. This is where you find out how to get in touch.
PRIVACY
If you want to know what happens to your data - this is something you may want to read first.
Help/Feedback
I’ve used this once to tell them how wonderful there new update is (I haven’t heard back yet though).
So that’s the seven extras I promised. Probably not worth the final few paragraphs but I know how Ciao members like us to be as thorough as possible.
I’m hoping this opinion doesn’t lesson my chances of winning the prizes I never have won. I also hope those people who found it just as difficult as me to use in the beginning will give it another go. I would love to know if anyone has actually won something so I know if it really is worth my time.
Advantages: nothing to lose - possible gain Disadvantages: haven't won yet
What is my offers?
My offers is a consumer research type-site, which offers a reward for answering a few questions online. Each ‘survey’ takes just a few minutes, and you stand to win a prize. My offers don’t offer cash for filling in ‘surveys’, just the chance to win prizes. (Some of which are excellent)
What prizes categories are there?
All in all there are fourteen prize categories. 1) These are: Home: 2) My Money: ... ...and drinking: 8) Good causes: 9) Wired: 10) Fashion: 11) Entertainment: 12) My Life: 13) my business: 14) Sports car bonanza. What are the prizes in the categories?
These change monthly usually, although not always, and can range in value and ‘want-ability’. For example this month the ‘home’ category offered (amongst others): digital cameras and free are insurance! While the ‘shopping’ category offered (amongst ...

Advantages: FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Disadvantages: You might not win!
...of the damn thing.
Myoffers.co.uk is a free site that basically in a nutshell allows you to win an absolute plethora of goodies, all free of charge. They make a bold, brash boast right in your face on the homepage, stating “ MORE DELIGHTED WINNERS, MORE GREAT PRIZES, MORE FREQUENT PRIZE DRAWS THAN ANY OTHER UK SITE!!”. From cars to cash, holidays to beer, it’s all up for grabs free and gratis. Tell me more I hear you all cry. All ... ...site is the layout. It’s very, very colourful. Plenty of information too, although I would add that it can look a little cluttered at times. Upon registering (which is your usual basic format - email address, name, etc..) you are then taken to the sites homepage. I headed straight for the Prize Draws list, which gives a list of all the stuff up for grabs this month (prizes are changed on a monthly basis). Prizes are broken down into the following ...

Advantages: It's free - what more do you want? Disadvantages: Prizes may take a while to arrive - except the dreaded mouse mats!
...you may receive email from myoffers.co.uk and its sponsors or clients. The address you used when registering can also be used by the MyOffers sponsors to send you junk mail. When you win a mouse mat on the site, you are also prompted for your address, and this is probably the main reason why this promotion is running, apart from the obvious inducement to complete surveys. The implications of this are that you will get a lot of junk mail, both on ... ...The navigation on myoffers.co.uk is easy to understand and fast. There is a central area, which displays the surveys and other content from the site, and two navigation areas. The left menu bar contains clickable links to help you navigate around the main areas of the site, such as HOT PRIZES and PRIZE CATEGORIES. The right hand menu bar contains the Log In text box, and then, after you have logged into the site, information related to your account, ...

Advantages: Speed of entering competitions. Disadvantages: Slightly disorganised, but they make up for it.
I've been a member of my offers for about 3 months now and above all the other competition sites I find it the easiest to use and most satisfying. Its competitions are put into different categories (or you can list them all if required)and it lets you know if you try to enter one that you've already entered without wasting any of your valuable on-line time.
Entering competitions is done by filling in (mostly) short surveys.
There is a members feature ... ...them, alongside this it tells you how many of them you have entered and you can click on each individual one that you've missed so as to enter it. The only problem with this is that sometimes you click a link to a competition it suggests you haven't entered and when you get there youv'e already done it so their system needs a little tweaking!
They have different promotions on at different times and a regular one (its changed this month)has been ...

Advantages: You can get ipoints or beenz Disadvantages: Lots of junk mail which can get annoying
Myoffers.co.uk is another site in which you are able to win prizes on the Internet for free. I found this site about 3 months ago through Ipoints.co.uk. I signed up to Ipoints and under earn on the Ipoints site. It said get five Ipoints for registering and completing one survey and one extra Ipoint for every survey completed after that.
The Myoffers website is divided up into 13 different categories which all have surveys for you to complete and ... ...Here are the 13 categories:

As well as these 13 categories every month, they have special promotional prizes. This month (March) they have: The computer bonanza – this is where when you take one of the surveys it will have one of 6 pieces of a computer above all the questions. This means you have ...
