This 100%. Rev Comps only ever accept one ticket per competition, I’ve tried sending 10 in before and they processed only one, I can only imagine them laughing at the other 9 postcards in their office! But that’s fair do’s to be honest, they are very good at processing the singles that I send them and as I’ve said before It almost encourages me to actually purchase more with them. The others are a waste of time with postcards so I don’t bother with them at all. Rev Comps have the best odds and long may that continue.
Exactly mate, nothing but praise for them tbh, they process the majority of them reliably, cant complain with that at all for free entries! I had a couple processed yesterday for thursdays draws, sent off on tues morning, and had a couple processed today for mondays, cant complain with that!Edited by Suubzer0 on Friday 10th May 15:43

I've gone with a risky late postal on Mondays MK1 Escort. Sent first class in today's post so hopefully it will make it! Would love the car but leaning towards the cash alt just because I doubt I could keep something like that in concours condition and would feel guilty if it wasn't!Edited by Suubzer0 on Friday 10th May 15:43

From reading this thread it would seem Rev comps are the best at following these rules so that alone gives more confidence to spend my hard earned with them, love cars on dcg but reading back on this thread about how they treat their postal obligation is enough to put me off spending there for now
Yeah it puts me off as well. DCG have some nice motors as well which is a shame.Its Just Adz said:

Any luck?
I sent one 1st class on Tuesday morning, no luck so far.
Both processed this afternoon!I sent one 1st class on Tuesday morning, no luck so far.
Going to upgrade to first class stamps though just to be sure.
Sent a postal entry to RevComps on Friday. Will report back on how I get on with that.

I’m sure they’ve made a mistake listing this one, should have been for Thursdays draw based on when it was launched.G944S said:

They did say on Thursday that it was a late addition to make up the number of prizes for tonight as there was only seven. I doubt the shorter draw would be a regular thing because I’m pretty sure most of them tanked the last time it was tried.

That Escort in tonight's draw is stunning!
Where do they find them? Are they building them?
Don’t think they build anything, I’m sure they said on the live draw that it was this spec from new in Australia.Where do they find them? Are they building them?
The postal on the Escort has gone through on time so pleased with that.
In terms of sourcing the cars, they have relationships with several dealers where they get preferential deals. Look at castle motors for example and you will see some very familiar cars where winners have taken cash alternatives. If something nice on there is marked as "deposit taken", it often appears as a prize in the next few days. Other than that, sourcing cars seems to be the day job for most of the team outside of draws so they will have a good network of contacts.
The only ones I am aware of them building are the camper conversions which are often new conversions on 1-2 year old vans and some small changes like alloys and body kits as seen for example on the Jimny a couple of months ago

I’ve got a postal on it, I’d have to take the cash though. Get a 335d and treat the missis & sprog to a nice holiday!
