    You forgot how you also have the knowledge and experience to declare the best hotels in a Asia, Africa, Europe and Antarica! And knowing what are the best tour guides on every continent!
    Have you got a set routine? I have. I won more by following it, oddly enough. I started comping again in January and just bullhorned every Comp on here and won...... a Bluetooth tracker of a mag daily! It sucked considering I was on it for at least 3 hours a day. But since getting a very OCD routine going I win much more.

    In November I won an iPhone 7 and £2000 of shopping vouchers - my best ever comping month financially. But I haven't even won a paperback book since then!

    A long dry spell? - could it be the menopause? I've heard estrogen creams help to restore moisture :)

    I'm currently in my longest of 2 and a half months since Mid Feb. I'm not saying I've had all huge wins but not even anything tiny since then

    And my spell has ended, fingers crossed for everyone else. Date night at bella italia on Monday 😄

    I am still a little random in my approach depending on time available and inclination. Would be interested to heard more about your set routine if you could share?

    Sure. I do all of the mag dailies first thing. Usually on the train. I have them all bookmarked (iPhone) and just do them on that. Don't get the videos or anything. When I get home I search google for any new rafflecopters posted. Im lucky with them so I do like to keep on top of them.
    On a weekend I end date for the next 7 days ahead. It takes hours but I don't tend to get up to much so it's not so bad. This makes it easier during the week because I literally press ctrl+f on the new comps and just search 07/05; 08/05 etc to pick up any new ones posted. I rarely do dailies but if I have time I check the dailys thread.
    I'm quite successful lately with that routine.

    When I say 7 days ahead, I do that and also enter any for the next month too. So I sort the forum to thread title, view 200 posts, find the 14th for example, enter the ones I want for 14/05 and then under them will be some for 14/06 etc etc.
