2007 comping challenge

Options
I am going to set myself a comping challenge in 2007. My aim is to win back the cost of my internet access in the value of prizes won.

I pay £9.99 per month for aol's basic broadband package, so would need to win £120 worth of prizes.

Does anyone else fancy joining me?


Rules: (thanks to Strepsy)

Competition prizes arriving in 2007 are eligible to count towards goal.

Only free, online competitions are eligible. If you used a stamp or a text then you would need to figure in your total outgoings spent on stamps and texts in order to win that one, so it's easiest just to stick to totally free.



Insert by divadee I liked this idea so much i thought i would make it a sticky at the top of the board!!!! Please post in this thread all success and failures you may have with this!!! and dont forget to tell us at the end of the year how you did!!!!

    Yes, please, unfortunately costs me £34.99 a month, so I will have to win a fair bit. I am on ntl 10mg until March, and will be looking to change then. I dread to think how slow things will be though if I drop down to 4mg.

    Thanks for joining. It will be more fun with others. What a huge price for internet - I am sure you will get a more mse deal in March.

    Virgin.net supposedly gives me 8MB, but at peak times in the evenings, my internet connection becomes horrendously slow!!!

    Ill join - though I get my internet free but its worth £17.99 per month so that would be £215.88 worth of prizes. Saying that am also going to aim for an average of a prize a month.

    I definately won that much this year - won a nights dinner bed and breakfast in Edinburgh hotel - would be worth about £250 I think it was including everything. Also won Rapidough and a dirty dancing CD. Won a couple of smaller ones that I never took up - like free tickets to a club etc.

    I'll join. Our Pipex broadband is £14.99 month, so £180 a year.

    I have won at least that value since I have been comping in 2006, so hopeful for next year.
