No wins :-(

Getting a bit disheartened - not won anything for ages, despite spending hours and hours on here!

Losing my comping mojo!

Good luck everyone and well done on all your wins!

    Awww keep going I know how you feel, I do seem to spend hours entering hundreds of competitions that I wonder how it is possible to go for ages without a single win, but then today I got a WEM telling me I've won a £20 M&S gift card - I know it's only a little win compared to the number of comps I enter for much bigger prizes, but a win is a win and it really cheered me. Everything crossed for you, keep at it and your wins will come :)

  • Keep your pecker up - I feel the same at the mo - if you stop trying you will definitely not win anything. Keep trying - I'm sure your mojo will return!

    You've won £449 of prizes this year, according to your signature. That's not exactly no wins, is it? You might not have won lately, but I've won about £10 worth of prizes so far this year, but I'm not disheartened as eventually I'll win something cool if I stick at it.
  • I won 2 tickets to the theatre wohooo first time comping thanks for all the tips guys u

    You are right, I shouldn't complain, but they seem so long ago now as we approach the end of the year and I have won some fab prizes in the past. So I will stop moaning and carry on :)

    It will come back, just think positive! I had a brilliant April (won a TV and return Milan flights) and then won nothing, not even a bottle of shower gel! Then 2 weeks ago I won a couple of prizes, gave me back my morale as it was also running a little low!
    Aim to win in 2013 - a holiday somewhere nice, New York break, treats for family & friends & some cash would be lovely!!!
  • i have had no wins either and spend hours on here..... :( it does make u wonder if there will ever be a win

    I have been comping for a few hours a day since about mid August, prior to that I used to enter about 20-50 comps a week from emails and sites I visited, so that gives me around 8 years of part-time comping. To date I have won a grand total of: 2 lots of Maoam sweatbands & sweets!!! Pretty poor return hey?! But I don't do it expecting to win, I just HOPE to win, that's the only thing that keeps me going!
  • Keep going = you will win sometime - we all have dry spells:)
