I have decided to get back into comping. I used to do a load years ago with a little success. I was just wondering how often you win prizes. Is there an individual who wins all the time?

I'd love to hear your stories.

    I have been entering loads of comps (started 24th August) but most of the end dates havent arrived yet, I am optimistic because I have entered so many that I am sure I will win something.

    I love playing the instant win comps - and have won everything thats in my signature this way.

    But I think I am most looking forward to the postman knocking the door with a 'mystery parcel'. People who post here seem to get such a high from it.

    Plus of course there are the prizes you stand a chance of winning - something for nothing, what can be bad about that? Read back on the prizes people have won you wont be able to help feeling inspired.
    Total 2019: £3972 - Best win this year £3000
    2018 total £4062/2017 total £2260/ 2016 total £2025/ 2015 total £3809.

    ive been comping for just over a year now. i just enter as many on here as I have time for, aftera while the prizes start coming in. Sometimes you dont get any for a while then several at once

    good luck with the comping!

  • Hi Tra, Im in the same boat as you, started entering compa about a month ago really just to kill some time as ive been ill.

    Now I still feel slightly ill but comping has helped focus my concentration.
    Just waiting to win something now. A keyring would do!

    At least this addiction doesn't cost any money :) I enter comps for the excitement of checking my emails, post & each time my mobile rings I get all excited if it's a number which I don't recognise!

    It's great getting the prizes too as I haven't had to pay out any money for them - I only tend to enter the comps I would really love to win.
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:
