I personally think some companies get fed up with the same old name, compared to my first year of comping, I don't get any where near the amount of wins, I think I actually enter more comps through there being comps on fb and twitter now, I think its just that more people are entering comps0

I tried to keep track of the number of comps I entered but I lost track. I have had 2 nights of not comping this week so I played a bit of catch up today! I only enter for things that me or my very close family would like, I personally feel it is wrong to enter comps for the sake of it or for things to sell on (not saying I wouldn't do it if for example, I went and bought a PS3 and then won one) but everyone is different and I don't hold it against anyone.
I think it also depends on whether you are a cup half full/half empty person. I could say oh I haven't won anything this month...actually, I have won 4 Subway vouchers, a Rowntrees goody bag and some Rice Krispie squares so for my first month I think I have done well
Edited to add - there are two names that keep popping up on Facebook and I don't know how they do it!
I think its luck of the draw, a lot more people are entering and its also the 6 weeks holiday aswell so more people off with time on their hands
ive c&p this as im very curious as to who the two names are that keep popping up on facebook, care to share :beer:0 -
My last few months have been quite good but i generally do well over the spring/summer and then my wins go downhill for some reason. I agree OP that it does seem like the newbies and the same people winning all the time and it does get you down but like they say you have to be in it to win it. The amount you are doing each day I don't know why your not winning as much. I still doing over 100 a day but its a struggle. I don't find as much time to post comps now than I use to between FB, twitter and the board there is just to much to do. Once you have finished all three you have to start the whole process again. Driving me mad!!!BEST WIN LAST YEAR - MULBERRY HANDBAGSENDING STICKY VIBES TO THOSE WHO NEED THEM0

Again today, seeing the same names coming up as winners on different pages, my hubby joked are they sleeping with them....lmao0

Not on about anyone in particular, just a bit fed up of companies announcing winners, and the same names come up day in day out, don't know them, but it's the same, really don't mean to upset anyone, it's just I enter loads on there and know I entered the ones as that's how I see the results.0 -
oops sorry didnt mean you RG jtr2803 mentioned about 2 names keep popping up on facebook, just hoping they would enlighten me lol0

I'm really at a loss with FB & twitter comps. Certain people seem to "spam" alot (basically advertising the comp on their wall / feed lots) and they seem to win lots. I try doing it like that, I get called a robot!!! I even took "MSE" out of my FB name but my luck hasn't changed on there
But what annoys me, some people who win these big comps, don't thank the original poster. I always click thanks - it takes less than a second! And I know it doesn't really mean anything in real life, but it's nice to do itThanks to all posters :A0 -
