"How many comps is average to enter a day?!

Just read Kisto's response and now sure I'm failing miserably. Even with the super help on MSE I can't manage more than 30 max a day even when trying really hard. I get immersed in reading the sites - always was easily distracted!

I don't spend long reading the sites. I use roboform to fill in the form and once it's submitted my details I close the page and move on to the next comp.
I open the comps in a new firefox tab (about 5 - 10 at a time) and just work my way through each comp as quickly as possible! Even if I had 10 minutes at my computer I could probably get through 10 - 15 comps.

My win rate isn't exactly brilliant at the moment mind!!!...however I've only started entering so many comps again since I lost my job in July (so approx 4 - 6 weeks ago). I'm hoping the wins will increase (otherwise I've wasted a lot of time :rotfl:).

Here's a few more (*yawn*) stats for you. Last year, whilst unemployed, I was probably entering about the same volume of comps and according to the spreadsheet I kept, I won 80 prizes over 7 months (April to October) So that's an average of 2.85 wins a week!!! My wins total estimated value for that period, was £1850. The highest value prize I won, was an Xbox 360 Elite.

I have a question:

If the T&C of a competition doesn't say you can only enter once per person/household/day etc. does that mean you can and will enter as many times as you like?

i have a question i posted in the general "i won" but told this is a better place, hopefully someone can help
i really hope this is the right place to post this, i was hoping someone already had experience of winning the free flights form jet2.
i won a return flight with jet 2 in feb and have been unable to book anything due to lack of money and my passport running out, anyway it needs to be booked by 30th sept and i cant possibly use it. however my brother wants to go and visit my mum in france so i was thinking about letting him have it. will i have to book it in my name and pay for a name change, could i just book it in his name using the winning code or is it not possible to change names at all on these won flights??? he has the same last name as me, but obviously not the same first name (although easy for our parents that would have been weird!!)
any help would be greatly received

Lucinad...have you read thru t&c's? It's just my mum won free flight last year but with monarch & the t&c's state that she could not transfer them & could only be used by a specific date then the prize would be passed on otherwise. HTH

From the T&C's here

Changes to names and travel dates are subject to the standard change fee plus any difference in fare as outlined in the airline's general terms and conditions of carriage, which can be found on www.jet2.com.

hope this helps!

You go to http://www.scramble.com, whilst already being logged into facebook, then click the button that says 'connect with facebook'. You should now be logged into scramble and be able to vote for your favourite items by clicking 'vote to win'.

No, you can put an item up yourself. Every Monday at eight the new draw starts. You can pick anything you want under 1000 pounds, copy the link and put it in that box on the top of the scramble website. Cick 'get scrambling' and fill in some other details. Other people can vote for your item then, if at the end of the draw it is the most popular item, one tweet will be chosen at random and that person will be the winner. Good luck!
