Hi mrsimbob, welcome to MSE & the forum. Hope you enjoy yourself here.
To answer your question, no, as far as I know no one has won anything from myoffers here aside from timeshares masquerading as prize wins.
Have a look at the other comps listed & enter any that take your fancy. If you have a look at the top of the 1st page, you'll see a section called "IwonIwonIwon", that'll give you an idea of where the real prizes come from.
Best of luck.From MSE Martin - Some General Tips On Holiday Home Organisations and Sales Meetings

If you can manage to keep up with comps on here you will be doing extremely well. Before I realised how good this site was, I had a look and My Offers, and other such sites, and found them so time consuming that I almost gave up before I started.
Stick with us, and I am sure you will win something soon. The best thing about on here is that people are kind enough to give you the answers as well.
If like a lot of people, you tend to only enter the big comps (and I am sure that is why people are lured to such as MO:rolleyes: ) then it will take you much longer to win, as the odds are lengthened by the amount of entries they get.
I only started entering comps last October, but since January, as you can see I have won quite a lot:T ~ no holidays, but one day maybe.:T
The other day I nearly got caught by Getmeaticket:mad: , fancied some chocolates, but when they start to say and just do this, you trawl through a page, and then the next thing ~ you're almost there:mad: , just lumber your friends with a load of emails:mad: , I think they are a con. Just like the letters, You are definately a winner, official bank site blah blah, just ring this premium rate phone number.
:eek:
Whoops, sorry this has ended up a rant ~ rant over.
Good luck comping.0 -
Thanks for the tips. Must admit im getting quite addicted to entering comps. If only I had more time. I suppose you need at least one win to boost your confidence and stop you getting bored quickly0

Mrsimbob, sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs but one way of finding more time to enter comps is to use roboform or your google toolbar. This will store your common info (name, addrees, dob, telephone number & email address) and automatically fill in 9 out of 10 of the comps posted on here. I reckon it saves me about an hour a day.
& yes, comping, or at least joining this forum, can be quite addictive......as I think Prudent said in another thread, although we enter competitions, we're not competitive with each other - we love it when someone wins (have a look at the IwonIwonIwon subforum at the top of page 1).
best of luck.

I have been getting calls every evening..all from the same number, however, when I answer they are a different 'charity'..stating I entered competitions on My Offers and could they have my address. Obviously I never give them my address and query why the same number but different charities...but they just waffle on.
One was RNIB which I thought was a reputable charity, but the others I hadn't heard of. I must have made the mistake of putting my number..Roboform does it and usually I remember to remove it from the form, but just once I must have forgotten.
I entered a huge amount of comps on My Offers...but all I get is nuisance calls.
I won £275 on !!!!!! last year so continue to do them...but nothing since.
It's frustrating when you read of the huge wins everyone else has...but it's fun anyway entering comps and I think here you feel part of something.
As has been said, no-one is competitive...comps are listed by everyone for the use of everyone else....just be patient....as I keep saying to myself..my big win is around the corner.!!
Comping this way needn't cost you anything but your time...which can't be said of many things...just relax, enjoy and just think...that big win is just around the corner!!You always think you are doign well..sharing things, especially in competitions, helping others to find and enter them,...but there is always someone selfish and back biting who will object.
Oh well..and i thought this place was different...but it isn't. Shame on you...whoever it was...0 -
I too am getting calls because of this stupid website, my advice stay well clear. Not worth the hassle at all.:mad:0
