    I won absolutely loads last year but my luck seems to have dried up in last couple of months! Just come on here toget some tips on where is best to find some good free comps on the internet! So far I have won most of my comps either through the Walkers Crisps Gary's Great Trips promotion that has now finished or radio station on-line comps. I have entered loads of newspaper and magazine comps but I am still yet to win one. Any other places people on here go for free comps?

    For anyone who won a tesco gift card last month, Tesco are having technical problems and if you try to use them online, it will say it has expired. They haven't though and can be used in store (and online when Tesco sort their website out).

    I've just spoken to a very unhelpful person at Tesco, who had no idea when it would be fixed. I had contacted Nokia as my first though was that it was something to do with them, but it isn't, it's a problem on the Tesco website. If you call the number on the back of the card it will confirm the balance at £10, so just ignore the website when it says it has expired.

    too many comps..not enough time!

    Hiya :)
    I'm new to this and would like to ask a question if anyone can tell me.

    When you apply to competitions if you tick the box where you recieve the email newsletters etc do you have a better chance of winning?

    Thanks!

    Edit: Oh and how do you increase your chances of wins! :)

    The answer to your first question is HERE you really should read this before jumping in to the boards. The way to increase your chances is to enter more comps. There's nothing else that you CAN do.

    I am loving comping, although I just started at the end of last year with the McVities comp! One thing I did wonder though, was there don't seem to be many competitions to win a car (my oh says why can't you win one lol - if only it was that easy huh?). I think a car would probably be too big a prize to give away apart from places like gmtv type comps.

    Good luck for 2010 folks:D

    Hi, back at the library again I see, my OH is always saying that too. The Magazine comps (take a Break etc) sometimes have cars as prizes.
