    Thanks for comp but My Offers is on the potential Spam list in the Comping Guide so people may want to avoid.

    Cheers for the comp but agree with #2

    The Spam list:

    11 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?
    There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.

    I entered competitions for years on My Offers and never won a thing (I got plenty of spam though). Friends of mine have had the same experience. I stopped comping through My Offers when I discovered the Competitions Forum on MSE. I agree with weeowens - I doubt these My Offers prizes even exist!

    I agree I don't think they even exist, just as bad a get me a ticket and just rewards.
    Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling? :o
