Hi everyone. Im new here. Been reading the posts for a while now, but wanted to wait a while before introducing myself.

Im 26. A single parent to a beautiful little 3 year old boy.

I used to comp before i fell pregnant.. And won some amazing prizes. Such as XBox 360, Guitar hero Package, Vouchers, Books, Dvds.

But after my son was born i took quite unwell, and just never found the time and energy to get back into it.

Well the past week, i think ive found some major energy.
Been entering everyone i can find.
I tend to use ThePrizeFinder. Go on shop/radio websites. And enter competitions from magazines. But thats as far as i know.
So if anyone could give me some tips and advice i would really appreciate it.

Ive decided to give comping all i have. As ive really not had the easiest of time the past few years, and struggle with my health most of the time. So id like to have something thats just for me.
And hopefully win good stuff for my little one too.

So i hope you all dont mind me joining in, and i look forward to speaking and getting to know you all. x

Hi,I'd say first have a read of these;

Then pick a comping portal eg MSE,Prizefinder,Loquax etc & only enter via one.This will help in making sure you do not double enter the comps.

I'm a bit biased but I'd say to use just MSE for entering :-)
We post the answers & some sites do not plus most comps find their way on here.

Then make use of the green tick to show you've entered.
Clicking the "thanks" button is also a way of showing you've entered but I understand that some do not click it ;-)



Other quick tips I can offer are:

Get a dedicated comping email account
Get a comping PAYG mobile.
Subscribe to the TPS service
Use a signature on the emails so your name,address etc are automatically filled in.
Use the filtering tools here to sift MSE comps.
