MegaSack 2024 Day 3 – WIN Schwalbe Albert Gravity Pro Tyres

Just in time before my lunch break ends, thanks

Entered. Think I have done it correctly. Video doesn’t work though.

I’m really interested in these tyres. Was quite surprised to see them reviewed quite poorly by Vital recently.

I’m looking at a mostly empty page. I had to scroll down for miles just to see this…

Video works now.

Who won yesterdays?

As per a couple of the comments above. I had to scroll miles down a blank page to get to the bottom, couldn’t see any comments until I clicked the chat icon in the header pic, still not sure if I have entered the megasack today??? The box says come back in 23hrs 55mins!

Am I the only one having trouble understanding how the daily entries and megasack entries are working this year?

A simple explanation somewhere pleaseeeeee.

P.S. the website pages are incredibly slow to load? I have a 500mb Full Fibre connection so its not my end.

P.P.S. nothing (at present) on the Day 3 page about who won on Day 2

P.P.P.S. I am logged in when I go to the website, so why do I have log in again and then verify my e-mail? All very confusing 🙁

Am I the only one having trouble understanding how the daily entries and megasack entries are working this year?

Yeah it’s telling me to come back in 3 hours to get my subscriber validation. If it resets to 24 hours every time that slot is going to get later and later!

Plus if I can’t enter everything at the same time I’ll just forget. I like to get the whole thing wrapped up while I’m at work.

I’m on the desktop now and having to scroll past acres of empty space in between visible items.

My father in law was called Albert.  He didn’t like me, and I didn’t like him. I dont think I could ride tyres called Albert.  Hope I don’t win.

It’s ok, it doesn’t look like you will find out even if you do win!

It’s a really clunky and confusing system this year, STW. Coupled with slow running of the website generally it’s clear the sherry and mince pies are being consumed early in the season!

Agreed it’s far more complicated this year! I’ve just found out you need to enter the Mega sack draw separately so does that mean I’ve lost 2 chances already? I assumed once you’d entered the daily draw you were automatically entered into the Mega sack like always before?

And still don’t know who won the lights?

It’s defo very clunky.  Despite being a subscriber I seem to have to validate my email everytime I make an entry.

18:24 – logged back in to do the 2nd member only entry for the megasack (due to time out restriction earlier in the day) and the entry box has completely disappeared) – have tried on 2 different devices with different browsers so don’t think it’s me!

As sharkattack says above, I’m concerned about how late this is going to get quite quickly!

On the plus side the acres of scrolling appears to be fixed.

Oldfart – yeah, looks like you’ve lost 2 chances…I’ve lost 1 chance.

I think Mark posted up the reasoning for it on the day 1 thread…all sounds reasonable, just not as smooth as before (but should make the picking of the winners easier).

The Schwalbe website has lots of tyres but IDK how to find the kind of tyre I’d like. I figured that there’d be at least some way to pick, for example, ‘trail’ AND ‘mud’ but it seems not.

definitely confused here, altho that doesnt take much.  todays entry didnt seem to have the ‘megasack only’ entry available.  if i click todays (day 3) then it says ive got 3 entries, 3 days left and shows the 3 entry methods.  nothing else.

if i click yesterdays, (day 2) then it shows 3 entries with 3 days left, but i also see the ‘megasack only’ entry which says 2 entries and 19 days left.

i also seem to be able to enter before ive verified my email address.  add my name and email address, watch the video, then answer, and go to merch page and prize-givers page for full 3 entries.  i then see the verification email but ive already answered anyway and have 3 ticks.  but no megasack option.  i click it anyway but makes no difference as far as i can see 😀

as someone said the other day ^^^, if carlsberg could do competitions 😀

of course, it could just be me…..

In a wonderful sentence, I have the same problem as myself. No megasack entry button.

And now it’s back.

I’ve been diligent since day 1. How the hell are you supposed to enter the mega sack draw then?

Every day, I log in despite already being logged in. I confirm that log in through the link sent to my email.

I watch the video.

I answer the question.

I visit the merch store

I visit the prize providers website.

What am I missing?

A subscription…

Is that the only way to get in the mega sack?

To win a balance bike I don’t even want:

Log in on phone. Question box doesn’t show all fields so can’t enter. Spend 10 mins looking for iPad. Not charged. Wait 5 mins for it to fire up. Log in again. Password incorrect. Change password on phone so I can remember it on iPad. Log in on iPad. Read question and answers. Watch video. Answer question. Click two more links and close them down. Spend 5 minutes looking for mega sack entry. Finally find it. Have to wait for 10 minutes. Log in again. Enter user name again to enter mega sack. Phew finally done? Nope.  Checking my email for something else. Email from stw. Open email.  You must click on this link to validate your entry.

Is that the only way to get in the mega sack?

Yes.

To win a balance bike I don’t even want:

It begs the question: then why bother? Leave it for someone who does want it and just enter the Megasack, which is a separate section entirely. You don’t even have to wait until after the daily draw this year.

I’ve just done it ‘cos I don’t want these tyres: Log in. Enter name & email. Click button. Enter username in separate box. Click other button. Tada! No verification needed.

…Although I am confused about the timer. Can you only enter the megasack once every 24 hours? If so, how do you go back and enter for the days you missed? How do you even know which days you missed?

I thought there was a mega sack entry for everyone and a bonus entry for subscribers. Is this not the case?

Not easy to enter very confusing

I thought there was a mega sack entry for everyone and a bonus entry for subscribers. Is this not the case?

No, subscribers only this year for Megasack

Yep, its certainly a long winded affair to enter the competiotion each day, but maybe by putting more people off it might give me a better chance to win something!?

…As of 2230 on day 3 still no day 2 winner announced?  Good luck everyone 🙂

Silly question, are we meant to enter our username or actual name in the name field?

I’m sure I saw Mark say that winners will be announced at the end of each week now rather than every day.

It’s Day 3 and my Megasack entry is already 22.45pm. Bit annoying

Silly question, are we meant to enter our username or actual name in the name field?

Pretty sure either is ok. Whatever you want displayed on the site if you win, I guess.

Sure it’s clunky but it’s free stuff and if it puts anyone off all the better! The 24 hour thing is definitely going to cost me a “day” as I get a little later every time, it’s the thrill of the chase.
