2007 comping challenge

Prudent

All the online wins are from online comps of the free kind you find on this site. Usually when I win I try to find the comp listing to thank the poster. Both the big wins in my signature have come from this site, Off line wins have been local or postal.

I was interested in your comment about the local paper. I used to win well with them, but haven't done so well recently. Although I did get some tickets a few weeks ago. I do find the online returns best. I just to get a 2% return on postcard comps, but now find it so poor its hardly worth doing now. I am running an experiment in Feb and March using the ltsb loophole to buy stamps, so I am not much out of pocket (4 for 4p). But so far I have had no wins and am buying around 40 stamps per week. I know some wins could not be expected until into April. I am going to put a post on the forum about this at the end of the experiment.

Thanks for your reply.
Thats brilliant.

Do you mind me asking what the ltsb loophole is,

Prudent

It is explained on the current accounts thread, but unless you have both a ltsb current and savings account set up, it is probably too late to benefit.

Ok thanks anyway.

Hope it's not too late to join. Our internet costs are £180
I have been reading the thread for a few weeks now & feel inspired to try internet comps after reading of all your wins.
I have entered many postal comps, with some success in the past, especially with my local paper, but many of their comps are now phone-in, I couldn't afford to enter.
I downloaded Roboform but we have an apple mac so can't use it. Could I just ask if anyone knows of anything like Roboform that can be used on macs?
Thanks & congratulations on all your wins

Prudent

Of course its not too late, welcome. I know there is form filling software with google, can you use that?

Ello, ello ello!! Crikey, I didn't think of posting on this thread earlier...oops!

I've decided to join in the challenge (decided yesterday actually :rotfl: isn't my siggie gorgeous :rolleyes: ) hope thats ok It's taken time and effort to get my internet going (I suck at diy, don't ask ) and what with all the new mouse/router/bits n pieces my challenge is set at 390:eek:

Still haven't won anything but time will tell eh. It sure is motivating to read the I WON I WON I WON!!! thread so hopefully I keep at it and don't give up after five minutes (the pub beckons :rotfl: ).

Congratulations to everyone who has already completed the challenge! WOW!!! Wanna start over? :rotfl:

Hmm...I've just realised I haven't figured in all the text-in comps I've entered so far into my siggie - tis such a joy to be [STRIKE]past it[/STRIKE] old n wise.:p

Good luck to everyone!!!

Thank you for your welcome
I did try google form filler but needed to install something else first - I tried but without much success.
Oh well I'll keep typing!

As it's not too late, count me in. I've entered a couple of competitions this year and think this challenge is what I need to take it more seriously.

Prudent

Welcome Zakaya. Most of our regular winners are entering quite a lot of comps. The more you enter the more chance you have of winning something.
