What happened to ROTM for July? Is it just being skipped over to August or has it been discontinued now?

You might want to @Lovehoney_Brenna for that one.

I think you’re right @Ian_Chimp, I will have to wait and see what @Lovehoney_Brenna says next week.
Oooooo it’s ok, it’s arrived on the blog! I love reading these reviews!

@Peitho I have finally discovered why the runner up prize is a measly £4!
The value of the Oh! Points was dramatically reduced back in 2015 when they changed how they worked. 2000 points went from being worth £10 to just £4, and the RotM prize was never upped to compensate.
I think this strengthens our case for a prize bump considerably.
Current Costs:
12 winners @ £100 = £1200
36 runners up @ £4 = £144Total = £1344/yr
Option A: (return to pre-2015 prize value levels)
12 winners @ £100 = £1200
36 runners up @ £10 = £360Total = £1560
And 1560 - 1344 = +£216/yr (+£18/month)
So roughly an additional 16% cost.
I think that seems quite reasonable. (even more so now we know it used to be this )
Option B: (give the prizes a modernising flourish)
12 winners @ £100 = £1200
12 silvers @ £25 = £300
24 bronze @ £10 = £240
Total = £1740 (+£396/yr or +£33/month)
A national campaign for less than £2k annually? That’s a bargain.

Perhaps a poll will help.
Who thinks the RotM runner up prize should go back to being worth at least £10?
- Absolutely. Let’s make it meaningful
- Nah. £4 sounds loads

Very well deduced @Ian_Chimp !
I wasn’t using the forum in 2015 and was tending to buy stuff not on my account (stupid I know, but there were reasons I won’t go into). When I came back properly at the start of this year it did seem like Oh! Points didn’t go nearly as far as they used to but I thought I was imagining it. It is definitely nice that you can use them on any purchase but I do remember the excitement of saving up for something specific in the lists 
I think your clever deductions absolutely justify the £10 runners up prizes… maybe a little more if they’re feeling generous but certainly the £10!

They could even use the money they’ve accidentally saved over the last 5 years to partially fund it.
60 months x (3x£6) = £1080
That would fund 32 monthly supplements at the Option B prize levels.

@_nin Surely nobody would consciously pick a £4 prize? It’s the sort of amount that needs an ironic ‘don’t spend it all at once’.

Still just £4 for the runners up this month…
“But, who are our runners-up? Each runner-up will be awarded 2000 points!”
I think the exclamation point is the real kick in the muff. Maybe it’s ironic too?
