SP Xtra: Editor's Blog

Hi, my name's Sammy and I'm the Editor of Simply Prizes magazine. Every week I'll be bringing you an update or two about any interesting competitions I find or any comping news. Plus I'll bring you any competitions or offers I find.

It's a biggie

As part of our birthday celebrations, we are going to be running extra comps all month. The first was to win £20 last week. And we decided that one prize wasn't enough, so we drew two lucky winners, one from Facebook and one from the email entries.

The winners are Michael Griffin and Susan John. This week's comp is to win one of the five-year, half-price Simply Prizes memberships and don't worry if you've just taken the offer up or are an NCA member. If it's won by one of you, we'll refund your membership or the initial NCA joining fee. So, today's comp is worth a cool £195! (Or slightly more for an NCA winner).

Just comment on our Facebook page or send an email to info@oxonpress.co.uk with 'Another birthday, you're still looking good', but be quick the comp closes at 9am on Friday 8th October 2021 and we'll announce the winner on Saturday. For more details about the five-year, half price offer, click here.

It's Halloween at the end of the month and the comps are starting to come, thick and fast. We've opened them up to everyone, so click here to see all the Halloween comps we've found so far. Keep an eye on the page as new ones are added all the time. For Simply Prizes subscribers, they are also added to the normal listings so you can record when you've entered them.

Onto this week's comps, let's start with a delicious case of New Zealand Pinot Noir wine (my favourite).

Question: Which of these New Zealand towns can be found in the Marlborough region?

Our advice: Blenheim

I'm not really a shopping man, mostly I stand forlorn as Lizzie and my daughters check what's displayed, but I do like TK Maxx, you’re never sure what you will get and I love the bargain rails.

Win a £50 TK Maxx gift card – closes 31st October 2021 – click here to enter

Question: For how much less than the RRP can you find a great range of Gifts and Toys at TK Maxx?

Our advice: Up to 60% less than RRP

Now this last comp is a great prize, but I'm wondering why Northern Rail is offering a holiday in France and not Yorkshire and with car hire? As they say, go figure!

Stay safe and good luck, watch out for an email on Saturday with the winner of the five-year subscription.
