  • I have been comping for years and recently worked out i win 1 in every 4000 competitions i enter! Doesn't sound a lot but the WEMs and phonecalls are deffinately worth it.

    1 in 4000! wow!

    I have been comping for years and recently worked out i win 1 in every 4000 competitions i enter! Doesn't sound a lot but the WEMs and phonecalls are deffinately worth it.

    I think 1 in 4000 is a bit extreme I have won approx 20 prizes since stating comping in May and there is no way I have entered 80,000 competitions!!

    Of course the more you enter the more likely you are to win things, got to be in it to win it and all that, I doubt I reach 500 a month even, but have won small things like face paints, kids toys, & vouchers & best thing so far a luxury spa break in Spain!!

    Its all luck of the draw and all you new compers remember you may have entered loads but you have to wait for the comps to end and then sometimes it can take a least a month for them to contact you. I have had a WEM, things turn up in the post, instant wins but still waiting for the WTC!
    :hello:
  • I enter a few hundred a day and usually win something each month. It's more like a job than a hobby. Keep at it. It will happen.
  • i am not sure how many i enter per day it really depends how busy i am, probably between 1 and 50, i guess i should try and do some more!

    good luck to everyone! x

  • Still waiting for a WEM since February had two wins both nofitied by WTC which was fab... every night after tea I get my laptop out and check my emails ... always have approx 90 emails.. nearly all spam .. I live in hope that I soon will be able to say whey hey I have received a WEM .. gotta keep at it ... go through the days comps that have been listed and enter things that I would like to win, and could use ... for instance no dvd comps as do not have a dvd player ... toys as no children ... must admit can take me a couple of hours to enter though but when I get fidgerty I check Iwon Iwon and it spurs me on the keep at it ... good luck to everyone in your future entries .... it'll be our turn soon ...surely

    I'm another one waiting for a WEM! I spend pretty much all day (heck, I can be honest on here, noone knows me :D ) thinking that I'm going to get home and have a lovely big CONGRATULATIONS!! staring at me from an email.

    Alas, not yet. But the excitement of it possibly happening does make my dull life a little bit easier to bare!

    Good luck everyone, it'll happen soon.
