  • I've been comping about a month now and still no wins, but I'm keeping going - someon'e gotta win! The time I spend comping was the time I used to spend on just surfing or playing mindless card games, so I'm not losing anything! (only about an hour a day - I'm not a total veggie).

    About two weeks after I started on here (October) I won family tickets to Alton towers, followed by 9 other prizes inc a Wii, After Shave and some DVD's. Never looked back :D
    I Love it :D

    No to detract from the op's question but maybe to add to it, how long a day do you spend comping

    I wonder if anyone else like me tends to feel that they are missing some 'secret' that is needed to win comps!

    When you see the list of wins that some folk here have, it's easy to think that they must be doing something special to be winning so much. Some folk claim to have entered dozens of comps daily for years and not won - how can that be?
    Wins to date:

    Jul 2007: Nintendo DS Lite, Gardening Tools, Bananarama CD, 2 x Women's Open Golf Tickets (worth £50 each)
    Aug 2007: Shrek backpack,Tick remover, Firehouse Dog goodies
    Sep 2007: Box of Wispas
    Oct 2007: £5 Amazon voucher

    At work I've activated the autofill on the Internet Toolbar. It remembers names / addresses / email addresses once you've typed in the first letter, which helps a lot.

    At home I use Roboform - makes life so much easier. :rotfl:

    Ive been comping for about 1 month on/off. Have probably entered over 100 comps and still havent won anything:o Its true you have to be in it to win it and i also see the list of prizes people on here have won and think is there a secret. I dont mind not winning that much since i havent lost anything. I just hope that all this not winning is building up for a bid prize;)
