  • at the moment I enter about 100 a day

    I won my first prize within a couple of weeks, my first 2 months of comping were the best so far because I entered so many in that time to catch up.

    I do tend to get a steady flow of prizes and if for some reason this becomes less I will enter more. I have the time to enter lots at the moment but obviously if I go back to work I will enter less comps.

    good luck
    Wishing you a lucky 2023: 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
  • I think it was about 3 weeks, & it was a very small win, but the buzz I got made me keep going.
    I have been a bit lax lately with entering comps, then get a small prize out of the blue & start going for it again:p
    It's definately worth doing, I've sold a couple of bits on ebay I didn't want & have got a couple of small cash prizes, every little helps especially if what you win is useful to you.
    Still waiting for a holiday win:D
    Comping again - wins so far : 2 V festival tix, 2 NFL tix, 6 bottles of wine, personalised hand soap, Aussie miracle conditioner :beer:

    I didn't have a win for a couple of months after I started, then I got lots, and am now in a dry spell. Only a stapler for the whole of November.:sad:
    Not sure how many I enter - I get through about 7 pages a day, but don't enter everything. Don't mind how big or small the prizes are, I just like getting things. :D
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
