Don't know whether to start up the C2W's again.

Options
I've had a few months break from doing the Click 2 Wins, and was debating whether I should give them another go.
I didn't win anything from them for months, and got a WEM from them earlier in June for a DVD, so it kind of got me thinking about doing them again.
It was a combination of the amount of time it takes to do them, and also the lack of CAPTCHA's that put me off, it seemed like it wasn't fun anymore.
I was just wondering if anybody else had stopped for a while and started up again, and what the success rate has been like? :)
Thanks
Be Lucky.

    I stopped doing them, for much the same reasons as you.

    Every now and again, I enter a few that take my fancy, but I no longer enter lots every day. Zero success with this strategy!

    Just now is first time I have looked at them for ages - I see they have added even more sites, the "specialist" ones now have more of the general competitions and their prizes are spread across more of the "general" sites as well.

    Still only takes one entry to be in with a chance but with some on 100 plus sites and running for perhaps 2 months that's one entry out of a possible 6,000 per person (some of the smaller prizes are just on a handful of sites but they are very much in the minority).

    On the plus side the prizes are all awarded not like the "match 3 number" type of daily ones or the Walkers holidays

    I have more limited time to comp now so also gave up the C2W a few months ago and, TBH, I haven't missed them :cool:

    I think I'm now at the stage where I CBA to go back to them because they're all so tedious plus, as mjm has pointed out before, there may be plenty of 'bots' out there doing thousands of entries a day :(

    Good luck if you do try them again, dontone - and let us know if you have any success! :beer: :)

    I've come back to them and only do high value ones, £250 upwards so it will make it worth the while if I win

  • Maybe once a fortnight i'll go through all the click to win sites, and I do 3 of the smaller sites every day. I won £100 Aldi 2- 3 years ago and a DVD boxset this year.This is one of only 2 wins this year so they get my vote

    I gave up on them after reading about those hi-tech people who have computer wizardry that enters them all for them every day with one click of a button with some sort of computer program.

    I still enter them daily despite all the changes and bots and so on, I refuse to be beaten so I stubbornly carry on regardless. Yes it takes me ages to do now with all the extra sites and duplication, I enter pretty much all of them worth over £50 and some below if I feel I can use it. I still win on them and this year I have had eight wins so far, they have mostly been DVD's but the most valuable win so far has been around £100. I certainly don't win as much as I used to but the fact I still win from time to time helps me carry on.
