    I've tweeted 11,658 times.

    Won: around about 120 prizes on twitter. It is all down to luck, there's so many people doing it now though - My winnings have gone down past few months x

    Don't give up - advents are PERFECT for low entry tweetings! x

    I've tweeted 6,614 in a year and won only 8 times, which is a bit rubbish really. I don't spam retweets though which may we why.

    I'm happy to carry on with twitter, if you're don't try you won't win, but if I have a day or so when I've gotten behind with comping then I do start to skip the twitter ones if I have to!
  • Might have to give Twitter a go for comps!

    Thanks for this post OP I was pondering the very same thing this morning - I have never won on Twitter and I was actually beginning to wonder if my Twitter name had anything to do with it - @CompingSAF.

    Mind you, at 966 tweets, I'm clearly miles behind some of you guys. I'm not actually sure how long I've been using this account, but it can only be a matter of months, I'm guessing since around June - I don't know if there is a way to see when your first tweet was?

    I think I'll stick at it given it's only 82 more sleeps until Christmas :rotfl: then if still no wins I think I will either have to make a new account with a new name or give up on Tweeting :(

    You can just change your Twitter name if you're not happy with it, instead of going through the rigmarole of opening a new un! Just a suggestion :)

    Just had a look at my account. I have tweeted 3750 times and only won 3 times I think. A mascara, £200 camera and a £25 iTunes Voucher. Not great for all the effort.
