    Just enjoy it and be positive, the wins will soon start flooding in! :)

  • I really just enjoy comping! It gives me something mindless to do when I'm watching TV, and daydreams about what I would do if I won the prizes are nice, but it's no biggy if I don't actually win them - someone has and it's made that persons day!

    I always say, someone's gotta win 'em
    Jan 2011 Wins: Rodial Crash Diet STICKS Feb Wins: CD - DVD - UNE Beauty Products - Book March Wins: BEAR Hibernation Hamper -Book Total Wins: £242.44
  • I started comping in June last year and didn't win anything until about October so keep at it, you might win something eventually.
    Debt: Started at £4780, now at £4190 :)
    Comp Wins 2014: None yet :(
  • I started comping 3 years ago and had a flood of little wins to start i.e make up, books etc then nothing for 2 years and in december I won a laptop from sending one text to daily mirror!
    The comping fairy must have been holding off for something I was really desperate for as my computer had just broken down!

    Stick with it and you'll be lucky soon enough! x

    Keep the faith and enjoy the fun, wins come eventually.
    :)
    Thanks to all the fabulous people who post on this forum.
  • When I first started it seemed to take ages to get a win but keep at it, its all worth while when you get a win that you really want or that someone close can use. Keep going and you will see the results x
    2017 wins -
    Biggest wins to date - Holiday to Hawaii (won in 2016 but taking in 2017), trip to New York (2016)

    Dont give up. chances are that most of the comps you've entered are still up & running. I've been comping a couple of years but it was only last year when I discovered MSE that the big prizes started rolling in. Comping is great fun even if you don't have huge wins but I just love it when the postman turns up with a mystery prize & I'm sure there'll be lots winging their way to you sometime soon, just be patient & enjoy your comping x
    Positivity is the key to success
  • Dont give up it took me ages for my 1st win and when it came I was really excited. I didnt know I had won a book just turned up. It seemed ages then for another but I enjoyed entering so I kept it up and I have now become addicted but I have had lots of small wins and some very good vouchers and even 2 pair of shoes. I enter loads every day but dont expect anything but when they do come along its great.

    I've been comping for nearly 3 years now, 200+ comps every week for 3 years. I've only won one thing once, a tent worth £69.99. I think I may be one of the unluckiest people on here :(
    Now a proud home owner after saving a deposit for 2 years :j
