Just back home after two days away. Where are all the entries? This isn't such a tricky subject is it?!
Just entered - had to go all the way to St. Malo to get the right shot

Just think of the expense - all for this competition

Talking to a pleasant sounding female somewhere in Europe does not seem to achieve anything, so I have sent an e-mail to Pentax in Slough.

I sold a K20D body on eBay for £507 a week or so ago - where else would you get that sort of return?
Amazing price John, roughly what I paid for a new one (factoring in a bit of cashback).

Selling here in the Classified Adverts works well.

That would have been far too easy

Congratulations to Dr. Mhuni - a very impressive shot.

Well done to all entrants for some excellent images all round this fortnight.

Many thanks to mikew for a very interesting competition and for the sound judging.

The grain in my image was intentional (to give it the slight feel of Pointillism) but the high ISO was an error - I took the shot without checking that particular setting

By the time I realised, I did not have the time to repeat the shot at a lower ISO.

We live and learn

There does seem to be some negativity about cashback, but the last time it worked just fine. Why assume this time it won't? It will never be quick, but I think 4-6 weeks is acceptable in comparison to the general run of these schemes.

Currently I expect two cashbacks in 90 days from car insurance offers and I will get them, because I'll make sure I do. But I don't expect it to go wrong....
The cashback website has been set up so that you can specifically check the progress of your application.

I know that my application form was received on Monday 16th November and yet the website still states, when I log in (over 3 weeks later) - "We await receipt of your application form".

It should say "We have received your application form but have not processed it yet".

Not much to ask really.

If they 'pulled their finger out' and changed the message to say this (i.e. the truth), then I would shut up on the topic

The fact that it is also being run out of an office building in Barking (that has nothing to do with Pentax) also does not fill me with confidence.

In Photobucket, the code looks like this :-

(I have changed the M in IMG to an N so that it displays as code rather showing the actual picture)
