    Do you mean how many competitions or how many times I enter a single competition?

    I enter about 200-300ish a day plus about 1000+ comps ending at end of each month

    I only enter each competition once

    I only ever enter once as I don't seriously believe that they will put my name in the bag (or whatever) any more than once :D

    Damn 200-300 a day!!!!

    I rarely enter them these days becuase I usually end up with junk mail as a result!!!

  • I tend to only enter ones where I might actually WANT the prize! Don't find time to do many these days, so tend to just do those!

    holw cow, 200-300 surely your entering all the comps then, even ones your not interested in, as i only manage to enter around 50 a day at most, all of which are pertinent to my needs.

    I enter about 1000 a week. but do take a month off every now and then to keep motivated. I am becoming much more choosy though, but sometimes go into "auto" mode and get carried away and enter ones that I don't want the prize for!

    I only ever enter each one once and don't do them in partners name or anything. Basically, because the terms and conditions are different for each one, by the time I've ploughed through them to see if its one entry per household or per person I could have entered another 10 comps at least in that time!

    I only enter once unless it's an instant win, like Peroni, then hubby, son and moggy get entered too.

    I don't have time to enter more than once as I only have a couple of hours each evening to catch up with comps. Except during the Christmas holidays:j

    No, I dont enter any holiday comps or comps for tickets etc... I only enter comps which offer prizes that I want.

    I've only ever won 1 prize that I couldn't use & I told them to offer it to someone else.

    I have children so a lot of the prizes I win go to them.. some days I won't enter as many as 200 but I do put the time & effort in as I love doing it.
