    How people manage to enter 100+ comps a day I don't know?! They can't have very busy lives or something?! I use autofill and am a 60 wpm Touch Typist but that would still take me hours each day to do that many. I enjoy entering comps but entering 100+ a day every day would be like trying to climb a mountain and surely your eyes must get sore?! You 100+ a dayers are machines!! Good on you though if it's worth the time and effort! :)

    Roboform!!

    It only takes a few hours then. :)

    I've been comping for about 3 years. I do all the itv ones (under 2 different phone numbers), most of the mag comps, but not the dailies and anything that takes my fancy. I also do twitter and FB comps. You can see what I've won in my sig.

    I am holding out for a big itv win I think!

    Good luck and sending you some comping dust.

    I haven't entered many yet but have had a packet of dog treats from a fb prize draw . Also have a sample of perfume arrived this week which was a lovely treat . Gonna keep going with the freebies and comps if nothing else it keeps my hands busy and stops me munching between meals lol . Oh have also got £20 in amazon vouchers from doing surveys in just two months .
  • Keep at it. I had a dry spell of 2 months and even created a thread like yours to complain about my bad luck and then 2 big ones came within a month! (the Gaga and £2,500 mentioned in my sig). Good luck :)
  • I use autofill and I enter a lot and it does take up a lot of time, it's more than a casual hobby for me lol. I find time during the school hours and in the evenings. I doubt I'd do it at all if I entered 10/20 a day, although I wouldn't be disheartened either - as surely that hardly takes any time at all.

    Comping really is a numbers game, it's not just luck. Yes someone might win that enters very little, but the odds are stacked against them. You enter a lot - sooner or later, you will win big. I've won some fab prizes, most of the time it's worth it but you can get down when you have a dry spell. x :j
