    What's everyone's secret? Been comping every day for years now and I've never managed to win a holiday. Have won some short hotel breaks though (in the Scotland). Is it best to enter competitions that require effort?

    Absolutely loved reading all of those - you lucky ducks!! I'd be interested to hear how long all of you have been comping too :)

    I won 5 nights in Mauritius last year to watch the inaugural Afrasia Bank Mauritius Open. It was absolutely amazing and I had only been comping for a couple of months when I won.

    I've also just recently won two nights plus dinner in a hotel in Devon :)

    Thank you to everyone that posts, you're all amazing and good luck to those who haven't won a comp yet! Xxx
  • I have won 2 x Trips to New York
    1 x Holiday to Spain
    1 x Holiday to Ireland
    Lots of UK Short Breaks
    1 x Trip to Disneyland Paris

    But my absolute fave was a family holiday to Los Angeles to meet David Beckham!

    We were lucky enough to win £2k holiday vouchers with no or very long expiry and £1k spending money so we waited til the kids were two and a half and went to Disney with £1k and the other £1k we put towards Spain another year! :D

    Also won a couple of nights in a posh hotel in the lakes, that was lovely, felt a bit out of place though :D

    Went to Disney again this year with the £2k my husband won last year.

    Haven't won much in ages, must be due something!
  • I've won holidays over the last I'd say 8 years to New York, Sardinia, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Berlin, London, 2x Jurys Inn hotel vouchers, Greece for the Olympics.

    Trying to win this years one lol. Good luck everyone x

    A couple of years ago I won a break to the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, and a couple of months ago I won a 2 night b&b of choice and went to Brighton :)

    i won a holiday to paris in november with icelolly/ann summers. We went in May and it was very lovely :)

    I signed up for a newsletter and won it that way. I'd never won a holiday before, though i had won a hotel stay in london before. I'd been comping off and on for about 3 years when i won.
