The missing receipt

Back in the old days, promoters would request barcodes be sent in.  You'd cut them out, stuff them in the envelope, send them off and hope they'd arrive.

competitions, barcodes, instore promotions


And then if you won, you knew you'd won straight away and there'd be no dispute.  These days, you can purchase promotional products and then enter online, via SMS, phone etc.  Which is GREAT!

Until you win and they ask for your receipt.

And you find yourself sorting through a mountain of receipts, just so you can claim your prize.

Pile of receipts



I'm not the most organised person, but after hearing of people who'd missed out on prizes after losing their receipts, I bought myself a cheap container from the $2 shop.  I did have a folder, but the amount of wrappers, jars etc warranted the purchase of a decent-sized container.  Now after entering online, I store all comping receipts/barcodes straight away.  Too easy!





How do you store your comping stuff?  Have you ever had the stress of searching for a receipt for a major prize?
