Do you bookmark Click to Win comps?

Options
Those of you who are bookmarking certain competitions from the click to wins to enter, can I please ask how you find out when new competitions are added that you might want to bookmark?

Is it just a case of looking through the whole lot looking for pictures of ones that you might want to enter, or have you found a way of searching for new URLs, given that each prize has a unique five digit reference, or is there another comp site away from MSE that lists them per prize? I want to just bookmark a few prizes to do each day. Thanks.

    I click from the terms and open all the ones with the same prize form there, I use snaplinks.

    I'm sure there was a site listing them at some stage but without that you would need to check the C2W sites and unfortunately new competitions don't appear to be added in any particular order.

    (Before they got silly with the number of sites and entry routes for each competition I bookmarked the sites and noticed new competitions did not just get added to the first or last page and some running competitions just disappeared before the enddate)

    Thanks both.

    I have gone to the terms page and have bookmarked a few from there, but I now need to decide if I am going to plough through the whole lot say once a week to see if there any new ones that take my fancy. I'm not going to do ones with about a hundred different entry routes, just a few that are on say half a dozen sites.

    I think the site that has the most C2W's listed is win something, but they don't have them all. At the mo I'm doing the same as Toniq from win something site then going through other sites to enter each one on all listed sites by Toniq's way

    hopet hat made some sort of sense

    last year I did them the old fashioned way by visiting each site & only entering that one then going to the next site, last year doing this I won a few so far this year the new way I'm doing it nothing but it's only Jan 19th

    That is why I want to just bookmark a few I would really like to win. Some are just on one site and that does not include win something. Such as this one;

    http://winit.motherandbaby.co.uk/sweepstakes/win-a-naturalstart-no-2-mattress-18472/rules

    but short of going through the lot, I don't know how to find the new ones to bookmark.

    I too use the method of bookmarking the Official Rules page and using Snaplinks.

    I agree Win Something is the biggest C2W site, the most important one to trawl through. As it doesn't have all C2W prizes on it though, these are the C2W sites (other than the specialist ones about horses, cars, fish etc) that from time to time offer prizes unique to that site or prizes only running across a handful of other sites not including Winsomething.

    Thank you.

    I was hoping that there was a common term in all the official rules pages that I could type into google and search for posts in the last 24 hours or week that might bring up just the new ones, but it seems like I shall have to trawl through a couple of times a month as you have suggested.

    Sorry - another question. I don't use snaplinks, so just looked it up and in the Chrome web store, I have the choice of Snap Links Lite offered by snap-link.net (which has a 5 star rating), or Snap Links by Clint-Priest, (which has a three star rating) or another called Linkclump. Is it one of these two that you guys use?
