How do you find competitions?

Apart from on here, obviously. 99% of them 'out there' must be scams, how do you know which ones to trust? Are there any other 'safe' sites dedicated to sharing them?

In my experience it is more 99% are genuine and 1% scams and tbh if you have such a suspicious outlook on life then maybe comping is not for you. Yes there are other sites with groups of compers like this section of the MSE forum. You find which one suits you.

You heard the saying "you have to be in it,to win it"?

I can safely go through these comping boards and feel safe that my details being entered are just as safe.

PMA! Positive mental attitude :j

This is a bit like going to McDonalds and asking for a Whopper.

People go to a lot of trouble posting comps on here, it's a bit rude to ask those people for a link to another site, especially from a new user ... just sayin'

In my opinion you are probably better just sticking to 1 site as that way you can mark off and have a record of all the comps you have entered and don't risk duplicating your entries and disqualifying yourself by entering the same competitions on 1 site that you have on another.I have looked at the Prizefinder and a lot of their comps mainly the Facebook ones are referral links that give whoever puts them on there an extra entry for each person that enters through that link and also they do not have anywhere near as many comps as on here so I just stick to entering from here and there is more than enough comps to keep me busy in fact sometimes that many I can't keep up.

Do you think so? I've already done all the ones on MSE that are appropriate for me. I would have thought it would be worse to enter all of them on here when the prizes aren't something I want or can use, but that someone else might be grateful for.

don't tell them that

if they do you have a better chance of winning

and for the op - enter all of them in PF, loquax and here, just to be sure
