  • I started comping more frequently in March, I'd say I enter a couple of hundred comps a week. It took a couple of months but my first win was London clothes show tickets, so hopefully you'll be like me :D

    I had a couple of months where I won nothing, but then the last month or so it's really picked up, so expect to have peaks and troughs :D

    I find that AutoHotKey is a really useful program - with this you can set up key strokes to hold your details (address, email, etc.).
    Along with Roboform this makes filling in forms really quick.

    I try and enter about 50 or so day. I also took the liberty of buying robo form as this takes the time of entering comps down by over 50%.

    I've only been comping for about two months but have won some good stuff so far.

    Whats peoples thoughts about registering for comps? I dont tend to register for comps as it seems a lot of hassle with spam and stuff, however people on here seem to register though. Whats peoples thoughts>?

    It just so happens at the beginning of September I decided to keep a record of how many comps I am entering, out of curiosity.

    From 6th Sept - 30th Sept, I entered 2861 competitions. That averages out at approx 114 a day.
    From 1st October - today, I have entered 761 competitions. That averages out to 113 a day.

    On some days I don't enter any comps. The most comps I have entered in one day is 248.

    Since the 6th September I have won 14 prizes. The prize value is probably around £250 (although it would not be possible to put a value on todays win)!


    wow 761 today alone?! Are these on sites others than mse if you don't mind me asking? :)

    oh ignore me, I didn't read your post properly...!!

    I get it!

    I enter all the mse comps that I'd like to win...it takes ages though and there's still no guarantees :smile:
  • I work full time and have 2 kids and a dog so I have managed an average of 20 or so per week. Not much I know, and I haven't won anything yet, (only started in November) but it helps the few spare moments I have pass by without eating my way through the fridge... and reading everyone's winning tales is inspiring. GOOD LUCK!!
    Seize the day!:)
