    I entered around 600 between July & Oct, no wins and lost interest. Then earlier this month a toaster from a Warburtons comp turned up. Nothing like your first win to renew interest.
  • Hi
    Im new to this but interested in entering loads of comps, instead of typing my personal details into each site is there anyway i can copy and paste my info? my friend has mentioned a website where you enter your details and it automatically pre fills each comp but i cant remember the website, can anyone help?

  • Hi, welcome to comping & good luck!

    I think your friend means roboform, lots of compers use it, just put roboform into the search box & it'll bring up posts where there is more info on it. :)
    :):D Tightwad. And proud of it! :D:)

    100+ for me -- I started one weekend at the end of October and made my way through every single page of the comps board entering every comp that I thought I could use the prize from in those two or three days, and then it was still quite a few weeks before I got my first win, so probably thousands :eek: :eek: :eek:
    Wins: Jan-Sept:£1991.27, Nov: "The Rough Guide to the iPhone" book, "FWD this link" book ... £12.98 :cool:
    Win £2008 in 2008 number 60, only £3.75 to go! (it is highly likely I'll win absolutely nothing else now this year! ;))

    it was a while from me starting comping to discovering roboform etc, and Im glad I do. The amount of comps has got so much bigger on here now and seems to take ages to catch up even using roboform and pre saved details. At one time I also used the autofill bit on google toolbar but I now use roboform more, find them both as good

    i would say 100+, I entered loads and loads, I think it was 29 pages with about 40 comps on each one, though didnt enter each one, just ones for ones I thought I would use or be able to use as presents

    My first win was the biggest, it was a nights dinner bed and breakfast for 2 at a boutique hotel in edinburgh, used it over my birthday last year, was great
