Hey Christo,
Well, since they confirmed to me that he is allowed to use vote exchange both I and my girlfriend have been using them. Not a huge amount of success on there, so perhaps he didn't have too much success either.
I think that the reason that he was so far ahead to begin with, and how he caught up so successfully the last 2 days is that he had help by companies getting people to vote for him on facebook and twitter. He had the charity that he donated to, the rock climbing venue, krispy kreme and Edinburgh tourism sites all helping him.
I tried to get the same - I did get some help from the hospital which I donated the toys to - they were great. Hotel Chocolat have been a huge disappointment - didn't help, kept promising email responses which never came. The ice hockey venue and club also didn't reply. I had tried to donate money to charity, but I wasn't allowed to - obviously they have changed the rules a little bit and allowed him to. I wanted to donate to a kids charity which I'm running a half marathon obstacle course for, but wasn't allowed, which is how I ended up giving the holiday away. Admittedly it worked out really really well, but it's an avenue where I lost out on votes.
I'm trying everywhere that I can think of, but I'm really struggling to think of how to get more votes! A friend promised to announce it on his radio station tonight, I hope he did it (though looking at the scores doesn't look like he did or at least wasn't successful).
