    It varies really. There are some days I dont get chance to enter any but then there are days when I enter about 25+. I have only being doing it since feb and have had some good wins inc £500 from pepsi, football tickets, toiletries and make up and a couple fo £10 vouchers.

    I am desperate for an ipad for hubby for fathers day but dont think that will happen! Lol.

    Best wins so far: £500, GHD styler, Tassimo T40 Machine

    Some evenings I enter about 10 competitions and then other evenings I might enter more than 25. It depends on the prizes and also I don't like spending too much time on the laptop.

    It depends, but I do about 30-40 on average per day. Some days I do none then catch up on loads at the weekend :)

    hi everyone

  • I started off slow (with 10 comps a day) and I've built up to entering between 50-100+ comps a day now. I won a box of personalised chocolates after 2 weeks of entering.

    Good luck!

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx
  • The amount I enter differs every day, and a lot of the time I don't get round to entering any so any wins at all are a nice bonus.

    When I do have time though I normally try for between 30-60 a day.

    I started at the end of February and my first win was after a couple of days, it was only a teddy but a wins a win.

    I tend to look at comping as a kind of hobby and don't expect anything, that way when a win does turn up it's a nice surprise.

    Since starting I have won

    Cushelle Koala
    Box Of Disney Toys (Runner Up Prize)
    Kids Book Set
    Loreal Shampoo & Conditioner Set
    Marmalade Pot
    Coca Cola Cooler Bag
    Box of Dog Treats
  • Depending on what competitions are posted and what shifts I'm working I enter anything from 30 to 100+ competitions a day.

    My first win took a couple of months and since then they have come in fits and bursts. I never win steadily like some people but rather have a good week then nothing for a few weeks.

    I started in march/april - and about 150 a day i would say a week.

    I had a break with uni, and started again in the middle of july.
    I believe I am more lucky then some, I enter about 70 - 100 a day, again depending on how many are posted and how many I want, my family might like, friends, then presents and things I could give to the local hospice.

    I won a day after starting back in July. I win 4/5 times a week.

    I've only won little things, however, I think if you are winning things you want, then it shouldn't matter. At the end of the day make sure it doesnt take over your life, and remember a win is never guaranteed :) Hope it goes well for you :)
    December Wins: £300 worth of board games, £500 Tesco Vouchers Best Win in 2023: £500 Tesco Vouchers
  • I've just started and i'm limiting myself to 10ish a day (avoiding holidays due to baby comitments)
