I am sat here entering Competitions and a few things are bugging me!

1. Does anyone ever win anything from signing up to newsletters because I always avoid them to reduce spam.

2. Do you guys who win loads always avoid the tick boxes on Competitions?

I am sure you lovely people will help me out with this. :D

    1. I always enter these but have not won anything yet.
    2. I usually tick all the boxes to avoid as much spam as possible, but have not won as much as some on here, although as you can see from my signature I have done quite well.

    Good luck!!

    Hi

    I never sign up to newsletters, BUT I have read a few people have won on them

    I always tick no contact and have done pretty well, up until last year when things started to slow down.

    Best of luck

    1. I have won at least one Newsletter comp, for £250 M&S vouchers.

    2. I always tick no contact boxes and have won a fair bit.

    HTH!
    2009 Wins = £833
    2010 Wins = £6,597
    2011 Wins = £7,083

    £2,012 in 2012 = £450/£2,012
    20 in 2012 = 4/20

    I haven't won anything from newsletter sign ups, but I have won £200 debenhams vouchers from a survey

    I always tick no contact boxes and haven't done too bad ( I won a laptop from one of the Dennis Publishing comps last year)
  • I sign up to newsletters and have won from them. I also untick all the contact boxes and have won still
    Thank you to everyone who takes the time to post comps :beer:

    I've won £200 of garden centre vouchers from a newsletter. Once the competitions ended you can always unsubscribe from the newsletter. They usually have a unsubscribe link in the bottom of the email. Also use a seperate email account than your normal email account (if you do not do already) Google Mail or Yahoo are the best ones imo.
  • I won a Jo Wood organic hamper worth over £100 from signing up to her newsletter.
    I usually avoid the tick boxes as I don't want loads of spam, but if its a company that i'm quite interested in, I will opt for the mail etc.
    Good luck comping!!! x
  • I won a prize recently from signing up to DPnow's newsletter. I always enter newsletter comps but this is the first time I have won from one!

    I try to avoid the tick boxes but sometimes end up missing them if I am in a hurry. I use a different e-mail address for competitions so it normally doesn't matter too much!

    Good luck!
  • I won a cd player worth £450 from signing up to a newletter last year , i get alot of newsletter , im not to bothered about getting them as somethings there is some good bargins
