Won on Twitter but Can't DM Company!
Hey everyone. :) A little while ago I won something on Twitter. It's not a small prize as it's worth about £120. I asked the company to follow me so that I can DM them but they haven't. I've tweeted them twice, posted on their Facebook wall, emailed them, but to no avail. I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have any…
Prize provider gone bust?
I won a "Taste of Luxury with the London Caviar Club" through the Grazia Daily click and win. I think there were also 4 other winners, but I can't find the original competition post. It was something similar to this one: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/69757474#Comment_69757474 where you win a face…

Entering comps order
I was just wondering what the most popular method of entering comps on here was. Do you *search by date and enter in order of comps that are about to finish in the next couple of days or *enter new comps as they are added whatever the end date may be :cool2::cool2::cool2::question:
Do you need a break from comping ??
Well I've has a bit of a break from comping since Xmas, think it was feeling too much of a chore ...daily grind, anyway back and well into the swing of things , enjoying it again. So how about you all think about having a break in say May and give me a chance to win some prizes !!!! ......Thanks xx
I bet these sound familiar to compers
I know I've done most of these! A thread on the Life Death Prizes website about compers. I'm not allowed to post the link but search 'Addicted to competitions' it's so true it's an obsession at times!
is the search facility not working again?
Is it me of has the MSE search facility stopped working again? I go to advance search and titles and title and put E: 04/04 as normal but it wont sort anything - mind you had a sleepless night so it might be something obvious I am doing wrong ...
Is this the longest dated click2win?

Take A Break Question About Entries
Hi all, I've read a few different threads about multiple entries for Take a Break. Some I've read it's enter only once, some multiple times, some once a day, but then you can enter again the next day. Please can somebody clear this up for me? Is it the same for That's Life, TV Choice, Take a Puzzle? If you're only allowed…
I'm not winning - is it my 'comper' username?
I'm starting to wonder if I made a big mistake with my email address - it uses the word 'comper', as does my username on a lot of the regular sites. Could that be why I'm not winning? These drawers are supposed to be random, so it shouldn't matter really should it? But is a 'Compergrl' statistically less likely to win than…
Prizel on Skysports
Anyone enter these? I couldn't find any winners are they genuine or are they just spam generators?
Made me smile...
Today I received a parcel about the size of a shoe box. I excitedly opened it and after delving through all of the polystyrene filling to protect what was inside, I discovered a really small box containing 20 tea bags! Rather than being disappointed, it made me smile :) I haven't entered anything for the past few weeks as…
Disaster on a holiday you won or not come up to scratch.
We have twice complained about a prize of a holiday . The first was from the Scottish Field many years ago and it was allegedly a superior caravan holiday. The van we got was far from superior and had a large stain the the middle of the floor. I complained to the sponsors and we got another week's holiday in a lovely van…
Missed call
This number has rang me twice today,I searched for Info but cant find anything,cant see It being a win as they are very rare on a Saturday Thanks for any Info 01217944305
Twitter 'messages'
Remember to check these everyday even if it doesn't flash up any fresh messages. I didn't seem to get any for about three weeks and then it flashed up 1 and when I looked there were about 12 in there luckily no missed wins. Now I check regularly and have found several which weren't flagged at all. No wins tho' :(
Winning holidays that include spending money
If a prize holiday is for 2 people and spending money is thrown in, does the spending money only go to the person who entered? Or do the comp runner split the spending money?
Hotmail login stopped working Roboform/LastPass
Hi, Is anybody experiencing issues trying to login to Hotmail using RoboForm or LastPass? I have used Hotmail for comping for years and now all of a sudden the page constantly refreshes and does not login. I can login manually after stopping RoboForm and LastPass. I would remain signed in but other family members have…
