Just tried it and it worked for me. Maybe it was a temporary glitch?
happened yesterday too. Tried 3 browsers and 2 net connections.
Also tried on phone and with different email address, still same error.
The same error for me too. Have tried both safari and chrome on the ipad and same result, will try again on a different device, tomorrow
@nismo: Still not working today for me. Wonder what the problem could be? I'm in WA and I notice in the list of conditions there's no permit in WA. Could it be because of that? REALLY strange.
@Ramrunner:
I'm in VIC so it's not a region specific problem!Update: just worked first go this morning on my Android w Chrome browser.
I noticed a countdown timer at the top of the page, perhaps you can only enter at certain times of the day?
Sorry, haven't read through all of the T&C's yet
I've been using a desktop when entering.
finally got it to work on Chrome on Android.
@battler:
Dam. Just tried 4-5 times on two different devices, in a mad rush to get the bonus entry in, from 7pm til 8pm. But all failed with the same error.I think I should quit!
Be nice if the enter button actually worked after going through all those slow questions. Did it three times on Chrome, Firefox and IE and when you press the submit button all you get is that is can't reach the server. Frustrating when fancy methods of entering competitions does not work.
That's really weird. I used Chrome every time, and only get an error if I've entered more than once that day.
Just tried again and still getting the error "Sorry a problem has occurred while connecting to the server. Please try again later." in all three browsers. Is it working for you right now? This is at the VERY LAST page pressing the "Enter Competition" button.
Yes the 'Enter Competition' button is working for me. I'm getting:
Sorry, you have already entered today. Please come back tomorrow or during Daydream hour
which means it's talking to the backend.
All good for me as well. Using Chrome on a Mac Air.
i hope i win, i havent won any competitions yet!
You have to enter heaps to win a few. In my best year I won 41 things but I probably entered a few hundred comps? Talk about procrastination. I like these daily winning ones. The Coles ones also seem pretty good. I won both of the ones I entered.
I've been trying for days to enter this comp using different browsers and different devices but only get the same message as others have been getting. I guess that Australian Post just can't help but stuff up!!!
I was able to complete my first entry today! I picked Indiana Jones instead of James Bond, so I will try again with James Bond tomorrow, and it probably has NOTHING to do with what was happening, but all you guys that haven't been able to enter before maybe try again now?
It's still a no-go for me, so I give up on this one!
Not entirely relevant but I wish they would buckle down on their contractors instead of wasting resources on a giveaway
