  • ...... I started this lark around May last year when I was really trying to win a trip to NY and found this lovely forum! Got my first win in June and to date I've won about 70 prizes! It's such a treat to win - and although I haven't quite got that NY jolly yet - I did win the Guide Book :rotfl: - but ever hopeful me! ;) xxx

    Only started entering comps last Monday, I must have entered literally hundreds, no wins yet but the closing dates on some aren't until the end of the month, so fingers crossed!!!!
    Debts as of June 2012 - £68,986.35
    Now £27,470.20 :T
    57% of debts cleared:beer:
  • I started comping a year ago exactly today!! I have won over 150 prizes, including an ITV cash win :j:j

    It was my new years resolution last year to start entering comps, and it has certainly paid off. Although i nearly gave up at the beginning of the month as i lost my comping account to hackers which meant having to reregister at every site (inc this one!)
    - and also losing any possible WEMS i might have had to my old account :(

    It's been worth it though as i have won an Xbox this month! :j:j
  • I have been comping since the end of November 08 and won nothing - well apart from the cadburys chocs! Getting quite despondent at the moment although I only enter about 30-40 a day so probably not on the scale of some people and I only tend to enter for stuff that I need - although somebody did say anything you didn't need to sell on ebay so may increase my numbers. Just waiting for a nice win to keep me going - even a DVD would be great!!
  • Ive been comping since March 2008 and i have won 171 things..
    Biggest was holiday to Ibiza... and a Sex in the City Style comp with about £1500 worth of stuff..
    I just love it..... !!!!!! I practically won Xmas 2008
