  • I've only one won thing this year, but I was over the moon with it. Won a Fisher and Paykel washing machine worth £750. I was so pleased, never won anything in my life!!! I started comping last January, but as I have a lot of other commitments, don't find the time to do it regularly - generally go a bit mad on entering things during holidays from work etc. and then not enter anything else, so was happy I managed to win something even that way :)

    My best win this year is my best win ever in my four years of comping - Capital £5000 Radio win! Good Luck for 2016 people!!:T

    My best win was a DAB radio, think I won about 6 competitions in 2015, all small prizes including a pen and some colouring pens but they are still wins and the prizes are being used.

    Thank you to all the comp posters.

    Good luck for 2016 :-)

    My highlight of 2015 was 3 nights in NYC, I took my daughter and we had a wonderful time.
    I'm grateful that my hobby gave us a holiday we would otherwise not have been able to afford.

    ice cream machine worth £80

    panto tickets and a meal for 4 worth around £200

    crate of beer £15

    lots of irn bru and selfie sticks estimated around £80

    I enter nearly ever comp going so it is not a great return for my invested time but good job this is a hobby. I love chasing the thrill of winning things I wouldn't be able to buy!

    I don't comp regularly as it depends when I have coursework or exams etc. so my wins aren't huge! But my favourite wins this year were either a bundle of makeup I won on twitter (which included Chanel eye crayon, Dior nail polish, W7 mascara, Urban Decay eyeshadow & Nars lip gloss) or £100 Buy a Gift voucher which I used for a lovely Pimms afternoon tea with my OH for my birthday :)

    Best win for me was my trip to China.

    It was a quieter year for me as far of wins. A few nice biggish ones and several small ones...but not the holiday in the bag for the next year which I've grown used to.... Trying to change that though off to the Travel Show tomorrow to enter every competition I can see.
    Top wins in 2018: Trip to Iceland, helicopter ride over london, couples massage, £300 flight from Pringles, trip to Paris, cocktail making class and afternoon tea up the shard. .

    Top wins in 2017:holiday to the Bahamas, trip to Paris, meal with champagne, a week in a manor house in France with £500 spending money.

    I had my worst comping year yet with very few wins and even fewer big prizes. I did win enough Wyndham points to get an iPad mini from Ramada in the Advents though which I am excited about. Looks like I can do what I want with the points (when I get them) so should be able to get 2 nights in a hotel and still get enough Amazon vouchers to get an iPad mini from there.
    Mar Wins :- £2 GfK Media


    Best Win of 2019 - Forest Holiday :)
