Can we subscribe to the competitions page?

  What sort of subscription are you thinking of? You can subscribe to new competitions posted from a specific store. For example go to all competitions from stuff.co.nz and then click on "Subscribe" button.

    Hi Scotty,

    I was looking for a one-click sub to all the competitions that are posted - is that possible?

    Thanks,

    Alan.

      Alan,

      We didn't implement the all deals/competitions subscription due to potential volume of emails it might generate. I think the best way to do it would be subscribing to the all competitions RSS feed using your favourite RSS reader.

      Edit: similar method to this post here, you can link the competition RSS to IFTTT and have it emailing you.

        Thanks Scotty - I'll have a look at the RSS option, but even if it can go to email, it still requires a user to be checking in more than one place I guess.

        If you are thinking about it again in the future, may I suggest that you reconsider. Given that each user can choose their own subscriptions, there is really no reason to exclude an option that a user can control - I am a real believer that good design does not seek to find a single 'right way', but rather maximises flexibility so that each person can customise to fit their preferences.

        Thanks for replying - much appreciated!

        Alan.

  Just check the comps page(all comps) daily? Mark them as entered or upvote after entry.

    Sure - but that would 'work' for all pages / sections instead of subscriptions….
