  • I have been comping for a few months now and have won £30 Boots vouchers, 2x radio times tickets and £100 Love2Shop vouchers so far! My mum has got me into it and now I'm hooked! :D
    2016 wins: Box of Borders Biscuits, iPad beanbag, electric whisk, 2x tickets to the Shard, 2x Alton Towers tickets, DVD bundle :j
  • Interesting posts - have only been doing it since August, and no wins yet - but, I only do around 20-30 competitions a day, mainly at lunchtime at work instead of reading the news online - it's a bit more positive to look at all the prizes I probably won't win than what's happening in the world at the moment!
    2020 wins: a nice box of chocolates.:-)
  • I only started last week and I entered a daily competition on Getmeaticket.co.uk and the next day got an email saying I had won - seems to be legit too only had to reply with a quote about winning and to confirm some detials, just waiting for the cinema tickets to arrive now!

    Congrats on the win.
    I have never entered a Getmeaticket comp & I will not in the future.

    no wins yet, been comping a couple of weeks, but I am always delighted when I see another user win. Its nice to look forward to the postman coming with a 'winners envelope' here's hoping :)
  • When I entered properly it was within a few hours.
  • I started yesterday and win a watch worth £150 pound , thought it was a con but have tracking number and no card details were exchanged ! Chuffed .

    Nice one Vicki0912! You must be a lucky ducky :-) May I ask - how many competitions are people entering daily, on average? I started one week ago, and I'm entering about 50 a day. No wins yet. Do people think this is enough to start winning soon?
    HAPPY COMPING!

    I started about a month ago and have yet to win anything still, I usually enter about 50-100 a day depending on time.
