Good To Know Competitions

Hi Guys,

I was just wondering if any of you have ever won any of the Good To Know competitions or any from the related websites and if so did you do multiple entries?

They have great prizes and I'm certainly not moaning that I haven't won one yet as I haven't been comping long, but I've become a bit obsessed with reading terms and conditions on comps and feel a lot more positive when it states that you can only enter once... but it doesn't say that on Good To Know - only that automated entries will be disqualified.

I work full time so only have time to enter the comps I want to win once ... apart from ITV which I admit to doing 6 times ;) .. but was wondering if I'm wasting my time with Good to Know if you only win by entering like 100 times?

Just to clarify I'm not saying anyone is wrong for doing multiple entries - if its not in the T&C as far as I'm concerned you can do what you want... I just don't have time.
2012 wins = £933 :j
2013 wins so far = £4,025 :j

July wins: Holiday to Marbella :j

    I never noticed that so I've only ever entered once for each. Usually when it's multiple entry either the OP or another poster are nice enough to point it out. I tend to avoid multiple entry comps to be honest though.

    Talking about the Good to Know competitions, this came up after entering one:

    Can't believe they're offering a paid entry method! And does this mean that the paying entrants will be more 'favourably looked upon'? :cool:
