Best competition sites?

Options
Hi all.

I just wondered what competition sites you all use, & do you get lots of spam with them?

I use UK competitions, & Loquax at the moment, so far so good with the spam. But I'm always on the lookout for more comps!

:D
:):D Tightwad. And proud of it! :D:)

    They are the only 2 I use and they just about cover most of the decent comps. The ones from your local paper are good too though.

    Personally I logon here each day and enter all the competitions from the magical KIPPER and the other great users. This normally gives you plenty a day and saves you a hell of a lot of time. What I also do is, upon being linked to a competition from here I would then look upon the site for a 'competition page' and therefore giving me access to a whole range of new competitions. Once found these I then normally book mark (add to favourites) the competition page and re-visit it when I get bored. After a while you'll get a ideal of which sites are decent. I personally I don't use the ones you've mentioned mainly because I don't trusted them and they are not to choosey what competition's are shown on there and the potential of spamming must be high. PS I don't do surveys either as these are asking for you to be spammed!

    I'm a member of Loquax and UK Competitions and I don't get any spam. I've had more spam from the recommendations from this board than I have from any comp site.

    I agree, thank the lord for the MSE members who post all these fab comps! :T I usually look here first, & I can also get a little bit of feedback about the sites/comps by reading what others have written.

    I was meaning more in turns of the competition sites that you link us too rather than your site itself.

    We are reasonably choosey what we show (i would say that yes, but if you don't believe me, ask other Loquax users) and if we're unhappy about a site then it doesn't get listed. Sites have been removed (including one's that pay us) if problems arise too.

    Every site is visited and checked and whilst we can't guarantee anything, we do think that we do a reasonably good job at making sure we list things we're happy with.

    As for spam - we don't spam. We send out one newsletter a week maximum.

    Thanks

    Here's to Loquax, one of the best; always gets my vote. How come Jason's still a newbie moneysaver?? AND he must have eyes in the back of his head!!!!
