    OK so I'm going to ask a really stupid question now after what you've been saying above..... with the twitter comps are we supposed to keep pressing the retweet button or just "retweet" once?

    Sorry if this is sooo obvious but I've only just started doing the twitter ones

    You can only retweet a tweet once but competition tweets are often repeated by the person offering the competition multiple times and you could retweet each separate one :) don't have a clue if it counts or not though!

    Around 7,000 tweets and I have won an Original Source shower gel on their page and a canvas picture from an author who did a one off giveaway via Competwition. I still do retweet competitions most days as they don't take long to enter

    Interesting question! In the early days of Twitter back in 2009 I was winning a lot, probably as often as one in 50 retweets. In fact, the first Twitter comp I entered I actually won it! I used to win at least one prize on Freebie Friday every week. Nowadays I hardly win a thing despite doing more entries.

    I wouldn't say that I do that many competition retweets, definitely not in the thousands but I've won a few prizes! I have to say that I think all of them have been as a result of answering questions/posting a picture rather than just retweeting!
    - A jumper for my boyfriend in Debenhams 'Elf acts of kindness' at Christmas by telling them what I wanted
    - Two lots of £25 vouchers for Florence & Fred at Tesco by posting outfit photos
    - A £50 spa voucher from Sky Movies for successfully answering a quiz question
    - A theatre and dinner prize from Kenco - I think this one was just a retweet!!
