Don't give up - just do what I am doing - take a break!
I have had some lovely wins since I started comping and I use hotmail.
That said, I am still waiting for a mega win!
Hope it happens for you soon xxx0 -
i do tend to enter the comps with good prizes..i guess if i entered the ones to win bags of chips etc i might do better!0

Its frustrating I know. I have had a really couple of quite months and it gets you down. I have a hotmail account but I don't think it makes any difference however I do worry about my name 'jujugaboo' not being very lucky as its a stupid name. I did nearly 2200 comps last month and I have had no wins this month!BEST WIN LAST YEAR - MULBERRY HANDBAGSENDING STICKY VIBES TO THOSE WHO NEED THEM

When i changed to my BTconnect i won nothing...
As soon as i went back to hotmail i won again....
I have at least 1 win every 2 weeks and I'm with Hotmail too.
rowdyp - Don't give up! Read through the tips page, it may help you. It is very unusual to know that someone has been entering comps on here for 16 months without a single win.

The thing with entering competitions for big prizes is that 1000's of people enter it so your chances are not really that high, whereas if you couple it with competitions for the smaller ones, then you're more likely to get at least one WEM every 2 weeks or so.
EDIT: Also the dailies are a good place to start. And the advents this year too.0 -

:rotfl:I cheekly said it was my OH fault as we recently got married and reckoned it was his surname.
Guess really its the luck of the draw and what comps you enter."Opportunity only knocks once.It doesnt knock, knock again, then leave a note asking you to give it a call back when you've got your s*** together".John Connolly0 -
Sorry to hear you haven't won anything. When I joined, I didn't think I would either, but am not too fussy about comps I enter and have had quite a few cd's and dvd's.
BF doesn't do comps at all, but once got entered to one at work just my accessing something, and won a ipod nano! I was so jealous...

It must be difficult to carry on when you have not won anything after entering 1000s of competitions.
As others have said try to enter comps where ther are lots of prizes your luck must change soon. It is such a thrill to get a win even a small one- I got a Sally Hansen Base Coat today (£5.99) one of 1000 prizes and I was really pleased.Be Lucky Everyone0
