  • I won £1000 with Pick Me Up, just before Christmas and that has been my only win from the magazines, I used to enter them via the postal method but I send so many other postcards it was getting quite expensive. I've been entering them for about 2 years.

    In regards to how many comps I enter in total a day, it ranges between 150 - 300 on average.
    Thank you, to all those who make the comps forum, what it is.
  • i have won an ipod touch, £500 and a winnie pooh toy from entering mags online, tried for years before online entries doing postal and never won once

  • I saw this message last night and thought 'I've been entering 100+ comps for 4 years and have only one £25 from one of those magazines once'.....

    and then a cheque for £200 turned up in the post today from one of them (husband has already binned the letter though and can't remember which one!)

    So, hold in there!! It will happen eventually :)

    I know someone who won a car from Take A Break, last Oct/Nov. Fairly sure she posts her entries. It was this that inspired me to start doing comps.
    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!


    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.
  • Wow a car thats great, I think because of postage costs, I am just gonna do online entries, I am gonna spend about 2 hours a day on this site, its great because you can tick which ones you have done,will let you know when I win something:rotfl:
