New to all this - what's your success rate?

i enter nearly everyday as many as i can. my biggest win to date was probably with tmobile when i won an apple macbook back in november (i'd only started comping on october 24th).

the more you enter the better your chances, that's what i reckon.

A quick Q for the regulars or those who have been compin for a long while...

Thanks to the 'credit crunch' have you noticed a drop in prizes available?

Cheers,

S.

It took me 6 months before I won anything but in the last week I have had two quiet big wins so it really is down to luck.

Enter as many as you can and dont give up hope. As already said you have to be in it to win it.

Good Luck

I think the most important rule of comping is do it because you ENJOY it - sometimes it will take ages to win anything and if you don't enjoy it may seem like hard work and you may give up. however I hope you do win lots of goodies!

Just recently ive entered about 200 a day. And ive had 3 wins in january so far still waiting for one to arrive. Two of them i was not notified about .. and there was not a note either. Third win i had a letter saying it will be sent out within the next 28 days. Good luck & more you enter more chance you have of winning;)

I tend to enter about 30 a day. My two big wins - the trip to Beverly Hills and the Berghaus stuff - came before I started entering comps on here!!! Since then, I've won some CDs and a List dining card. I'm thinking the next biggy is around the corner!

I'm only really entering ones I want to win as I'd rather the prizes go to people who really want one - it's so much better to win a prize you really want.

I enter all the comps ending the next day - I've been pretty lucky so far.

i enter as many as can usually have 3-5 hours of an evening
as i see its a game of numbers the more u enter the better chance you have
for last couple of months have averaged a win a week
do hate when u have to chase up prizes tho

hey :D welcome to the comps board.
I must enter somewhere in the hundreds a day....i started the first week in December and what i have won so far is in my signature ....not much really but i am happy with my wins ......Like another poster said there are usually a lot of wedding comps....don't enter them myself even tho i would love to win one of those 3.500 cakes they have as a prize:p:p

I try to enter as many as possible, I think I enter about 80-100 a day when I'm doing it properly! I wouldn't have any idea what my ratio would be, i suppoose something along the lines of 1 win for every 900 or thousand entries!?

As someone else said if you don't enjoy doing it then it going to be very difficult for you to keep going, although even though you shouldn't expect to win anything it does get you down when you havent won anything for a long time( by which I mean months!), but whether that is just specific to me or whether other people feel the same I dont know!
