Entering comps that aren't relevant..

Poptart

Firstly apologies if this is in the wrong place but I couldn't find anywhere suitable to post.

Just wondering if people enter comps that might not necessarily be relevant to them - for example 'Funkyfogey' competitions when you're a 20 yr old, or industry specific competitions - for example venue finding website comps that seemed to be more aimed at MDs of companies when you're a stay at home mum - that type of thing.

Just curious really:o

Hi , no I only ever enter comps that are relevant to me and my family and comps that have prizes that I want and can use. There are so many comps on here that there are bound to be plenty that suit and so I don't waste my time on any others.

I always look at the T&Cs and check entry criteria and the dates of tickets and breaks so that I dont enter for any prizes I couldn't use. I don't see any point in winning prizes that I can't use and depriving someone else who could use them.

Allthe very best to you

I only enter stuff that I want or can sell on ebay. Sorry if some of you get arsey with that - but I dont care, there is a reason this site is called "Money Saving Expert"

Gotta say - do comping for a larf only - and enter things that I know my family and friends would love but just can't afford - I see it as treats - fair play Muffy0 - Ebay selling is hard work! :T xxx

Ebay is quite hard work - but I like the thrill of seeing stuff go up at the last minute. Comping is most definitely my hobby, I really enjoy doing it. I don't enter comps that I wouldn't be able to use or ebay though and lets be honest here, how many people entered the tractor comp and how many of them have a farm? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Taking a slight tangent - I've entered some for golfing breaks in places I fancing visiting in the hope that I don't have to play golf if I don't want to! Same with some of the skiing hols. I've got a spare wrist brace if needed!
