Competitions Discussion Thread Part 3

KittyPryde

I only enter comps off of MSE, most of the ones posted per day (except not for prizes I don't want). And I've won all the prizes in my sig since 1st Sep 07. I think it is great for 2months! Also enjoy doing it anyway. Roboform helped immensely to enter the comps much quicker.

I only win about 1 in 200/300 competitions entered I think. It's really not much. Unless you actually enjoy the addiction then I don't think it's worth it for reward only.

You've done well over a few months.

You've won £5,000 and a car - how can it not be worth it?

Well done on the car btw :beer:

I think so, sounds like it It's just a wee software/program thing that can enter your details on a comp page automatically (once saved) and saves soo much typing. Winning the £200 on Metro is great though

Thanks

It's been worth it for me but I enjoy the process. I've been very lucky too. You could have entered 10 times the comps I've entered and not have won a car so if you weren't enjoying the hobby then it would feel like a hard slog for rare reward.

That's good - can it be downloaded?
I was chuffed with the £200. Very happy. Especially for not really doing anything to win it

I've one nothing really and have only been at it 3 weeks but the way I see it is that if I were to comp for 6 months at the rate I am now then win a holiday in Tahiti it would have paid off!

True. I think I must enjoy it or I'd have given in by now. I come on here every weekday and enter all the new comps for the things I want. Generally trips, money, tech stuff..

Meant won not one!
