Three weeks is nothing. I enter 100 to 150 a day and often win nothing for weeks/months. I find competitions are like buses ... nothing comes along for a while, then you get a few arrive at once

Remember that hundreds/thousands of people are also entering the comps. you are ... eventually you will win something.

I agree with you MimiJane. I have been comping for years at around 100 to 150 a day and never won anything major and sometimes I don't win anything for months.

Other times you might get someone who just enters a few or has just started comping and wins loads, its all about luck not fairness on how many you enter to what you win or how long you have been comping - so be patient and I am sure you will win something eventually!

Toby I don't bother keeping a list of what I've entered and I only enter for things I want to win, it does take time & a lot of effort & sometimes when you win its more stressful trying to get the prize delivered.

You may have entered competitions that have not closed yet & often they don't contact the winners straight away. Enter loads, expect nothing & hopefully that win will come.

Hi,it's not so much the passwords,although it can used for those.It's the fact it can fill all your address details etc.

10 to 20 is not a lot! I try to enter a minimum of 50 a day, for several days on the trott. I didn't start again this year until March, and I have already won a £199.00 Six Week Active You Programme, and a Years Admission to the Swimming PooL! :-) Plenty Much to be Smiling about!

Hi My advice would be to look for comps with smaller prizes that are meant for the area you live in/can get to easily such as ticket comps. Not so many people enter these. I live near a city so I've been pleased with theatre and exhibition trips - at least one treat a month for the past two years. I do find,however, that though I enjoy reading MSE I tend to only win local comps that have not been posted on here as the site is so popular.

Yes you are doing something wrong - expecting way too much!
3 weeks is not a long time at all, it's not a job, it's a hobby! No one guaranteed you'd win something straight away so sit back and relax,
If you win you win, if you don't it's not your fault theres no skill to it just a choice of entering as many as you can and enjoying it!
I also suggest roboform it really is easy to use takes half the time!

good luck! x
