It varies quite a bit.I've nearly missed some as my comping email gets flooded with junk etc.
Maybe set up filters on your inbox.You could use words such as Winner,Congratulations,Prize, etc.

Thank you for your reply, but how do I set up a filter?

Hi, can anyone point me in the direction of a site which gives the answers to Love It and Real People among others? I used to have it saved but my lappy crashed and I cannot find it. It's not Marina's Page

Many thanks for the useful guide - I did have trouble posting our first competition so it was a handy guide to the do's and don'ts!

A huge thanks for posting this inormative and easy to read guide .... off to start comping, and hopefully posting winnings soon

One quick question - the 'Enter' button at bottom of the first posts, is that just for our own info to know we've entered (intead, or as well as, using the Thanks button?)

Thanks

I'm a complete Newbie when it comes to Comping I have only been trying in ernest for the last three weeks. My questions is...... How many postal comps per week / month is the usual amount? I have entered maybe 45 in the past few weeks is that normal! is there any secrets that will increase the amount of replies or dare I say it ......Prizes? Thanks

hiya,
yep, the 'enter' button is to help you see straight away which comps you've entered, when you go back onto the main page you'll see a green tick
the thanks button is very useful to click on, it not only thanks the op for posting the comp :A
but also helps you search for the comp if you win it you can go to your user cp & 'find all thanked ' by you & then if you've had a winner it's good way to find it
hthx
