Are some prizes a bit stingy

Listen I'm grateful for any prize but dare I say sometimes I think some of the multi million companies could surely offer a prize worth more than a £10 gift voucher/card.
As I say it's not greed. I enter majority of win X amount.
Just curious

I was talking to my husband about this earlier...I tend to steer clear of the win £10 Aldi or B and M vouchers where tens of thousands of people enter...I know someone's got to win it but would prefer to enter something with fewer entries and possibly of higher value....

I think they can offer what they want. I believe £10 voucher is actually very good, better than a tube of smarties.

Its not so much that its the mentality of people going crazy and posting their life story for something worth £1.

When they are really long-winded entry routes for something with a value of <£5 I often find myself clicking on the 'x' and saying sod that! I don't mind a simple RT but when it's 'like, share, comment & tag' for something small value I cannot be bothered and do find it stingy.

They will have a promotional budget to stick to and unless they are going really big with a prize they generate more publicity (which is what it is all about) with ten £10 competitions than one for £100 etc.

I'll enter if it's a simple RT or Like, but if it's things like "Tag, share, like, why do you want to win?" for a small prize I don't bother. A few months ago I won ASDAs FreebieFriday RT comp and won £200 of Lego, a few weeks ago I won a book by RT-So a simple retweet that took a few seconds won me a £200 prize and one won me a £7.99 prize.
