Purchase required competitions

Supermarket and brand competitions often ask you to buy a product and enter a till slip number. They are legitimate, and there are things worth knowing before you start.

Keep the slip

Nearly every purchase required competition asks winners to produce the original till slip. Entering the number is not enough on its own.

Photograph it as soon as you enter. Thermal till slips fade, sometimes within weeks, and a blank slip is the same as no slip.

Check the qualifying product carefully

Terms are usually specific about size, variant and store. A 500g pack may qualify where the 250g does not.

One entry per slip, usually

Most terms allow one entry per till slip, sometimes one per product on the slip. Entering the same slip repeatedly is the fastest way to be disqualified.

Is it worth it?

If you were buying the product anyway, the entry is free in real terms. If you are buying only to enter, work out what the entries are costing you.
