    My total wins is over £12K so far this year but I have some great wins like trip to New York, Ibiza trip and Longines Watch worth £1800. Last year I won just over £2K and I was doing the same amount so I think it is luck of the draw.

    Good luck everyone!
    BEST WIN LAST YEAR - MULBERRY HANDBAG

    Ive won about £2400 in prizes since I started comping 4 months ago. Most of that is from 3 or 4 medium/big wins. I base the value on the cheapest I could buy the prize and not the RRP. I am averaging about 1500 comps a month (not including daily comps).

    I would be interetsed to hear how many comps others are entering each day/month against their win totals.
  • WOW!!! What an amazing read. I started comping in August and have won a few things already. For me the value of each winning is priceless. Winning something out of sheer luck is brilliant. It puts a smile on my face (even when I receive the freebies) LOL!!

    Its great to read that real people do win and its an inspiration to keep going. Like most I find it quite addictive and do hope that I will have some amazingly good wins to report to the forum.

    Thank you again for all the wonderful posts.
    Wanted to do this properly:A
  • I've been lucky enough to have some amazing wins - a family holiday to Hollywood, VIP experience at Wimbledon, a £400 mobile phone, and I'm so grateful to everyone who posts comps on this site because without them I'd have won nothing.

    I'll still never forget my very first win - £100 worth of books for my children's school. Couldn't wipe the grin off my face when I got the LWE!
    And I was so delighted to make my mum happy by giving her vouchers for a years supply of PG Tips teabags.
    Sometimes it's the little wins that make me smile the most. :)
  • £950 worth this year...wow had no idea it was so much!
  • Havent won anything yet. Only been doing it for 3 weeks. Fingers crossed.

    I started in June this year and have just won 2 prizes, although as you can see from my signature one is a Mulberry bag (although STILL havent received it yet :(), but it inspires me to see what amazing prizes some people have won, well done! Would love to win a hol or some cash but even little prizes would be fabby! I get excited every time I get home to see if the postie has left me anything or when I open my email, fingers crossed for more wins in the future!
    GL Everyone! :D

    well this(october) is now the end of my first official year of full comping after stumbling onto it last year, adding up the big wins and all the lil bits an bobs would say prob have won about £15,000 worth of stuff(thats rrp prices)(biggest wins being years free virgin tv,£1000 pepsi, £500 liverpool echo, about £4500 cosmetic surgery for wife(botox,fillers,crowns,teeth whitening) so sounds better than what it is as we all know most stuff we can pick up cheaper, this is mse after all lol:cool:. My best ever time of comping came not through here but through all the itv quiz shows a few years back when they were popular until all the phone scandals came to light and they got pulled(darn that blue peter), but in the 2 years i was doing that i managed to amass about £30-£40,000 worth of cash and hols a lot of this was in dribs and drabs of small cheques every day 50-100 ones so didnt see as much benefit as i could have but still got to do a lot of things and buy a lot of things i would have been unable to afford otherwise. all of that was with free web entry and not the premium rate rip of lines.
    Glad i fell into mse and found this kids love their lil presents, wife moans about me winning days out with no travel inc but still goes and loves it anyway and me i just love stalking the postie:D
    My poor 15 yr old daughter broke her wrist i 5:eek: places tonight poor little mite was screaming in agony, all casted temp now and fingers crossed no surgery needed to fix.
    get well soon honey .

    Prizes like holidays, and TV's are big prizes to me whereas you describe them as a "few little things". I suppose each person has their own views on what constitutes big and small prizes.


    Hi, i wasnt describing the wins in my sig as the little things, they come to about £2-£3k, which means I have won £2k approx of things like makeup, books, dvds, they're the 'little' things i meant. didn't want you to think im ungrateful!!!
