Daily Mag Entries..Worth it?

Options
Just a quick question really :)

With the daily mag entries on sites such as Look and WomansWeekly, are they worth doing?
Have you ever won on the Lucky dip number prizes?

I have been entering but wondered if you do actually win them. They are quite time consuming each day (but I suppose you could say that about entering comps in general ;) ) even with Roboform set up to do the No Thanks for me. Especially the ones that now allow you a lot of entries a day.

    I have won lots of times on the dailies but don't bother with the instants but always use the fb and twitter for extra entries. I think they are worth the effort but it depends how much time you have spare.
    BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO POST THE COMPETITIONS

    I agree, have won sometimes but not on the instants although I have seen people posting that they have won on instants,

    I really comes down to the prizes & the time you have

    It depends of the prize. I don't usually enter for toiletries and make-up or a specific clothes/shoes etc... I do enter for vouchers, TVs, iPads etc... I have them all bookmarked in one folder, I open all tabs at once, log in, reload and enter all at once. It only takes about 15/20 minutes if I go at speed.

    I've only won once though, since I started comping in Nov 2011.

    Yep I have won quite a few on the daily's but don't do the lucky number ones x
  • Another one who has won a few times on the dailies. Ive played the instants a little bit, but never won. I dont bother any more.

    They are what I always do first as Ive had a few wins from them. I won 3 times in one day once from them. Although Ive not had a win for a while, I think its time for another :rotfl:
    Current Aims: Laptop/PC, decent money, holiday
    Best Wins: Ipad, Nintendo 3DS, £400 Shopping Spree at LK Bennett, £100 Boots vouchers
    Total Wins (Since April 2012) £3442.56
    Big thanks to all who post comps :T:beer:

    Always tended to avoid dailies but after reading this may give them a bash now.
    Massive thanks to all who contribute on the MSE forums, especially on grabbit and competition boards

    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png




  • Thank you all for your replies :D

    I think I may carry on with them and target the prize draws first over the instant wins and see if Lady Luck comes my way :D

    I need to get some kind of system going I think to tackle them alongside other competition entries.
  • Hi all, ive tried doing dailies in the past but all the 'no' boxes used to annoy me but now someone figured out the roboform no thing its much quicker :D so decided to give it a go again, i'm just unsure on one thing, all the magazines have the same competitions for the same prize and same questions etc like now/wotv/womens own etc have exactly same thing to win, can we enter all of them on all of the sites or can we only enter on one site to win said prize? sorry if thats confusing lol
  • Are entering any comps worth it? Only if we win :D Any entry is worth a chance at winning though!

    I've won a few small things from mag dailies, never entered the instant wins.

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx
