Competitions Discussion Thread

I enter as many as are posted on here except the hoilday ones, don't know how many that is. More than I think cause there are loads on my sent box and that's just the email ones!

In reply to another question, I often give out my mobile number and I only ever once had a call asking if I want to buy a contract phone - no other marketing calls or anything

Has anyone ever one a comp where the event was cancelled? My OH won a comp for the Snoop Dog concert that was cancelled. Would you ask if poss to get a substitute prize or not? All comments appreciated, thanks)

just taking a leisurely wonder through the dicussion thread - a break really. As I returned from a trip to London on Sunday night. Logged into here Monday and found Id missed "24 PAGES" of comps. :eek:

So Im slowly working my way through them and Im down to page 7, only problem is, going away for a few days over easter - Im wondering how many pages Ill have to catch up on :rotfl: :rotfl:

Bonus I won the "1 in 300" comp so a "300" book and soundtrack :j ( wonder if get the DVD too ) A few MSEers won too so thats great. Thats my 3rd win in about 3 weeks,

I never bothered with competitions never thought anyone won them, but I was wrong.

Thanks to all who post on here your all great. Ive managed to find a couple so pleased with myself for being able to give something back.:T


ps - anyone going to London and wants to see a show I can recommend "Wicked" its fantastic, the 2 female leads are amazing and didnt realise the lead man was the guy from Coyote ugly (Adam Garcia )



Forgot to add - CONGRATULATIONS to all winners this week - not had chance to say individual "well dones" as Im playing catch up at the moment. I will get on top of the competitions, I will, I will

How many comps do you enter each day?

Everyday I work on some tiebreaker or other, It might be for 10 mins, an hour or 4 or 5 days playing around with words & phrases until I think it's right.
In between I'll probably enter a handful of online comps each day that catch my eye.
AlsoI'll senda handful of postcards & fpd leaflets each week, just to be in,,,,,,,,

Over the years I've been a member of various comping clubs & groups, still am) subscribed to this n'that mag etc But down the line it always comes back to the fact that people who win consistantly over the years all perceiver with tiebreakers.
Of course we all know of people who have won from various non skill entries, and someone somewhere does win, but when you only rely on Lady Luck you'll never win quality prizes consistantly,,,,,,,,,
Comping can be a fun hobby,
Enjoy,,,,,,,,

:eek: dont you just hate bank hoidays

no post man to deliver any winnings and nobody working to inform you youve won :rotfl:

I know. I think there should be loads of extra comps to compensate. All winners announced and prizes delivered by courier on the tuesday to compensate.

I know what you mean Weaver ~ I had one day away yesterday, and I still have not caught up. I'm going away for 12 days tomorrow ~ to my son in France ~ he's got a computer ~ will I won't I ?????? dilemma ~ more to the point will I be able to resist ~ this comping lark is sooooooo addictive.
Goodness knows how many hundreds of emails will be in my inboxes, gonna have to get dd to open some, so that any wins are spotted (I wish).
