    You'll probably find all the comps from your magazine subscriptions on here anyway:)
    Don't fotget to dowload roboform as it makes filling in the forms much much quicker so that way you can enter even more.
    As for 50 comps per day you will find that many on here(maybe not so much the weekend) if not more.It usually goes back about 5 pages per day that's how many comps are posted on here:)

  • Thanks snitterling good to know how to do that!

    Another Roboform question, does eveyone use just the free version or has any upgraded? How much is it to upgrade & is it worth it?

    Thanks
    2025 - finally back comping after a stressful house move - send me fairy dust please

    I always get my name to click on to enter my details on every page that opens with AOL,even a pop up screen on the site that is linked to if that makes any sense

    I've been comping for about 3 months on MSE and try to enter about 50 comps per day which I've got down to roughly 1 hour with the help of robo form.

    So far I've won 7 comps which has paid for my internet :-)

    The only tip I would have if your gonna use MSE for your comping (addiction) is to sort the posts on the main competition forum by "start time" you have this option at the bottom of the page on the left, you then just need to remember the last comp you entered.

    Only 50 a day, lol, You can enter nearly 50 daily ones, alone, if you look on the regular competitions post!!!! Then there's the monthly ones, and the weekly ones. You will do extremely well to keep up with what is posted on here. Have a couple of days away from here, and it takes a heck of a lot of catching up with.
    It all depends what you want to win. If you only go for the biggies, you have a lot longer odds than smaller stuff. Good luck anyway.

    50 comps per day is enough for me, I only enter the ones I want to win and then I struggle to keep up with them with volume that get posted on this site..

    I am new to this and i see many of you talking about "Roboform".

    I am using Firefox with it's "InFormEnter" add-on. would it be worth trying "Roboform" and how do the compare to one another.

    Any info would be VERY VERY USEFUL.

    Thanks Doof :confused:

    I use autofill which is already built into your computer. Click on start then my computer, then internet options. Theres a tab in there somewhere to have autofill switched on.

    Ive only had to chase 2 prizes up, one of the times it was for a dvd and on contacting the site I had won it from they replied saying they had contacted the supplier/promotor and they would get it out to me soon - I had it within 2 days. The other one is my years supply of persil and 2 cuddly toys through real people magazine. I have emailed them several times and each time get reply back saying they are chasing it!

    Just keep entering as many as you have time to. I too find that the comps on here are enough to keep me going though I am also registered with loquax I tend to stick to this forum more. I would never pay to register with a comping site though, I prefer just to do the free to enter ones and magazine ones that I buy anyway
