Daily Mags who's given up

I used to win these around once or twice a month but since they went to the multi mag I've only won off Look (not included ) and thisis (also not included) . As these comps replaced 5 or 6 with multi winners on each mag and replaced them with usually 1 or 2 winners I now think that the same win rate will be about once every 2 to 3 years so I have given up on them as a bad job. I'm still going to enter the likes of Look & Marie Claire though.
Has anyone else come to the same conclusion that they are no longer worth the time

takes about half hour to 3/4 hour each day and I've won a few times the past few months after entering them every day for about 18 months and not winning a thing. Haven't won on the multi ones that are on a few of them but think there's a couple of people on here that have. They're part of my morning ritual so its not a burden at the min lol2012 - must pay off last CC and maybe overdraft then debt free woop!!
Jan wins - Craft stamp, Planet Dinosaur book, Clover butter, nail foils
Good luck all compers :j0 -
I've been veering towards that conclusion for quite some time, but last week I did get a WEM from IPC for one of the shared prizes - although it was only a picnic hamper, not a biggie like a telly or anything - so I'm going to stick them out for a bit longer. I do tend to find them more and more tiresome to do though, now they're spread over the mags.0

I agree with 6969annw - they are part of my daily routine now so I actually don't mind entering them - I think I would feel at a loss not doing them if you know what I mean! Maybe I will have a break from them once the Advents start and comping days get more hectic! I'll see.....:p I m winning less with them though:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea0 -
I've pretty much given up.
Only do them now if I am EXTREMELY bored and there's nothing better to do, though that is rareFeb wins: Angry Birds mug, £250 Perfume Shop bundle0 -
I do them but only for those prizes I'd like, so no need to share at the moment.
But I do wonder if the lack of variety in the prizes offered (more prizes spread across the magazines in the group) is to do with companies realising they can get wider exposure for their products from other sources having competitions, so not offering as much as previously...0 -
I have tried to cut down,just before Christmas it was taking me 2 hrs a day to enter the one's i had bookmarked and i won nothing . Have cut it down to about 20 comps a day but i did win a Colgate electric toothbrush last month from Now mag0

I gave up a long time ago, I didn't have the time or energy to do them.
I enter sometimes if I really want the prize but not daily - I figure if it's mean to be it's meant to be!0 -
I've given up on them. Last year I won a few things through a couple of them, but since they started doing more and more multi-site prizes I've quit.0
