      Thanks for the tip!

  • Pandaroo on 19/12/2013 - 23:13

    Yew just won on my 4th try.

  • cooldude123 on 20/12/2013 - 18:01

    Thanks OP. Says this for me though: In line with our terms and conditions, all consumers who enter over 30 times will be required to provide proof of purchase for their 31st and subsequent entries.

    • hOrny on 21/12/2013 - 14:39

      So would that mean you need to provide 5 receipts for 35 entries or 35 receipts?

      • vipulrm on 10/01/2014 - 09:42

        5 receipts

  • bingobonggo on 23/12/2013 - 01:09

    I really don't understand what you guys are doing! Are you pressing back once you find out you haven't won instead of pressing enter the competition again? Is that how you are able to enter more than the limit of 5 times a day?

    Also, can someone help me! My sister did the competition and she told me she was able to do it 7 times. However when I went onto the site and tried entering it said, "We’re sorry, it looks like you’ve reached the maximum number of entries allowed for today. Don’t forget to try again tomorrow." I find this is really unfair as I hadn't even entered once. Is there another way of me entering without this message showing up! Maybe a private browser or if you are using something, can you tell me what it is! Thanks

      Fill out your details, but make a mistake such as leaving a digit or 2 off the end of your mobile number. Fix the mistake then enter comp. If you don't win press back on browser and your details will still be there. Enter again and back if you dont win. Repeat until it says you hit the limit. Then just change the mobile number. Just change 1 digit for convenience and it will let you enter another 5 times. Rinse and repeat.

      • bingobonggo on 23/12/2013 - 04:05

        Are you sure that just changing my number will let me continue doing it? I'm from Melbourne if that helps. I have a feeling it won't let me and just continue saying that I have reached the maximum entries(I will have to try it tomorrow when I can enter in again). I tried before, changed everything from my name to postcode to number, absolutely everything and it still would say the same thing. So annoyed!

        • Heizenberg on 23/12/2013 - 10:05

          That's weird. All I did was change the last number of my mobile and I could keep entering

        • easternculture on 23/12/2013 - 11:08

          Heizenberg !!! … say my name

        • bingobonggo on 23/12/2013 - 15:39

          Thanks for helping me out anyways, and goodluck! :)

  • easternculture on 23/12/2013 - 02:32

    Just randomly tried again and won 2 pairs in a row lol

  • Obs on 23/12/2013 - 18:24

    Anyone else get an email requesting proof of purchase for entries beyond their 31st? Guess I need to go looking through my receipts now :)

    • Food on 23/12/2013 - 18:25

      Did you get one? I haven't got one yet. Lets pray I don't :)

      • Obs on 23/12/2013 - 20:34

        Yep I got one. I didn't even think I had reached the 30 limit yet. Oh well, luckily for me, I have purchased quiet a few drinks for parties and stuff so I have a few receipts. Hopefully they are enough to cover my entries beyond 31, but I'm 100% certain I've entered a lot more times than my number of purchases ;)

        • Food on 23/12/2013 - 20:44

          Damm! Did you use the same ID (Phone, email, address e.g.) for all entries?

        • jdf on 23/12/2013 - 21:52

          Obs, how many did you win/claim? Just wondering if it is after 30 winning entry's that they need a proof of receipt?

        • Obs on 23/12/2013 - 23:23

          2 Wins. I only started this last Thursday. So max of 5 per day without any entries today at all meaning 20 or 25 max using this phone/email. I have entered using my mrs and my old man's phone/email combination as well though. Didn't do anything suss like random mobiles or changing the digits by 1 etc.

          Maybe they are logging IP and using that to try and match entries? As I said above, I didn't think I had entered more than 30 times using my details. No way it is even possible given only 4 days have elapsed.

          What I find hard to believe is that it seems I'm the only one who has received this email when others have been doing what I deem is dodgy by entering hundreds of times and upping mobiles numbers etc.

          Anyway here is the email I received masked to protect the innocent:

          Dear Customer,

          Congratulations on winning a pair of Rip Curl Pro thongs!

          We are managing the Schweppes Refresh Your Summer Promotion, and as per the terms and conditions of the competition we require proof of purchase from any individual who has entered the competition over 30 times for the 31st and subsequent entries.

          Our records indicate that you have entered the competition over 30 times, could you therefore please a provide a copy of your purchase receipt for the products used for the 31st and subsequent entries within 7 days. You can either send a photo or scanned copy via email to [email protected] or send a copy via mail to the following address:

          Attn: xxxxxxxx
          BD Network
          110 Argyle St
          Fitzroy
          VIC 3065

          Please note that your Rip Curl Pro thongs will not be dispatched until we have received your proof of purchase, and this may affect the delivery timeframe of 28 days

        • vipulrm on 25/12/2013 - 16:03

          I received a similar email too :(

        Careful. The punishment for failure to produce a valid receipt is a fine and 20 years in a flip-flop labour camp.

  • Food on 23/12/2013 - 21:09

    Now in mens they've got White with black straps instead of all black!

    • [Deactivated] on 23/12/2013 - 21:17

      Awesome, another style to choose from, I'm glad I didn't claim all my prizes straight away.

  • BarginHunter on 26/12/2013 - 01:52

    I tried till it told me I had reached the daily limit but no luck :/

  • Ughhh on 26/12/2013 - 02:35

    Tried so many times and no luck :( if any one has a spare, I'll trade you with a virtual hug :)

  • Obs on 26/12/2013 - 14:25

    Hey eastern.. if you don't mind, can I ask you how many times you have entered? Can't understand why I got validation check but no one else seems to have?

    • vipulrm on 26/12/2013 - 14:38

      You are not alone, Obs. I've got the email too. It's odd because I only tried for three consecutive days, using two different numbers, till the max allowed entries. So even you if you add all up it shouldn't be more than 30. Don't know what the logic is…

      • Obs on 26/12/2013 - 15:09

        Thanks for the confirmation. I've sent my receipts off. Lets see what I get back. Also thanks eastern for the info.

    • easternculture on 26/12/2013 - 14:49

      I use random numbers and the gmail trick for email (putting a dot between letters)

      I also use my mobile broadband so a new IP address per number / email user

    I've bought multiple bottles from the same store and they've had the exact same last 4 digits of their barcodes.

    I drink a duck load of Pepsi Max and my thongs are ripped to pieces and I come here to see people cheating the system to score free shit

    So dodgy.

    Such broden.

  • Maanco on 02/01/2014 - 02:46

    First Time Poster. Ive entered 10 times without anything. with 5 entries in about 3mins, twice. Am I doing it wrong? Should I do 1 entry 30 secs into the 5 min mark and then wait another 5mins to have another go?

    Ive tried changing up all my details and i cant get past the 5 entry barrier :(

    A Code would be nice, but i worry that i wont be able to redeem the thongs due to not knowing the details.

    Really need a new pair of thongs mine broke today.
