  • I started comping in Feb this year and it took about 6 weeks or so for my first win but I didn't enter very many comps each day then.

    My first win was a box of Walkers Baked Stars and I was ridiculously pleased to have finally won something!

    I know that feeling to well been about 2 months so far and no luck.

    But then I see a comp for something I really want but can not afford to buy, normaly for my wife or kids, and off I go again.

    Fingers crossed I have some luck soon:(

    It took me four months to get my first win of the past year that I can remember.

    If I look back to October 2011
    I've only won small prizes in 5 out of the 12 months!
    AND

    The overall total of all the prizes put together is less than £90.



    The comping fairy has passed me by. (not for the want of trying!)

    When I first started it took about a month. Just started comping after a 9 month break and have had my first win after 2 weeks of entering. Good luck to you, I'm sure you will have your first win soon

    I won a golf cap signed by a Rickie Fowler in a photograph tiebreaker competition!!

    I am not really into golf but had been comping for a few months and not won anything, so I was entering all and sundry!

    I keep a close eye on Rickie's progress now though - I'm willing him onto Tiger Woods level so that I can sell it for a fortune!! I'm happy to hang onto it for the moment, though, as a nice souvenir from my first win!
    Thanks to all those lovely people who contribute to this website. :beer:
