Interested to know how you guys win so much? I don't think I've won anything in my life.
Do you just enter everything going?

I only enter the comps where i'd like the prize or know someone who would, not that i'm the best person to answer as i've not won loads:rotfl:0

I enter things I'd like to win or things I think I can give as gifts to someone else. I don't ever enter spa break comps, comps for flights only (like winning half a comp), comps for tickets for bands I don't like or comps for adventure breaks.2008 Comping ChallengeWon so far - £3010 Needed - £230Debt free since Oct 20040

I think it's just the sheer volume of entries. ie the more you enter, the more chance you have of winning something. I only enter for things I or my family/friends would like. I've been disappointed on "winning" something I don't really want and then you have to decide what to do with it, when someone could have won it who really wanted it.
I have won a fair amount, but then you get out what you put in.0 -
I enter all the competitions from little to large!
I have never won anything in my life up until now, in the 2 weeks I have been comping I have won something from Avon, Now Magazine Bingo Nite with Champagne, Limo, Free food and Drink! And now the trip to INDIA!
Just keep entering, believe me it is all worth it
Back from a 6 YEAR break from comping :T Wins since October 2019: Emmerdale Studio Tour, CheekyTrip Goody Bag, Stormtrooper Cereal Bowl, 4 books signed by the author, 3 night break in Suffolk worth over £650!, another book, £100 Deichmann Voucher, £50 One4All Voucher, Spy kids Kit, 90s Concert Tix and a Dash Cam!
Hopefully more to come!! 0 -

Yep, I'm a complete competition tart. I draw the line at childrens competitions and weddingy type things, but otherwise, I'll either plan to give things to friends/family, save them for prezzies for people, or if I think it's worth it, I'll enter comps and sell the stuff on Amazon/ebay.
Not won much, but still hoping for that spa break or holiday, as I can't afford a holiday this year.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.0
