  • Nadda.

    Yet I can't help but plan the cruise/holiday/spa/hotel trip I've just entered :rotfl:
  • I didn't win anything for 2 years then won a £200 voucher last November. But haven't won anything since. I enter thousands. When I first started comping I was winning regularly but now the hobby is too popular.
  • I had been winning a few a month but last win mid December, nothing this year yet. not doing anything different :(

    I have won precisely 1 competition in about 17 months.
    Having said that I am finding fewer to bother entering. with the seeming rise of ig and YouTube competitions, and fewer item i would like to win, it's probably my own fault.
    I may skip to more postal routes, see if that helps any.
    63 mortgage payments to go.

    Zero wins 2016 😥
  • I just joined here, but I did start comping before Christmas just gone so probably around 3 months now. I've had 1 win which was a £100 sainsburys gift voucher on facebook. How many competitions do you guys enter a day can I ask?

    Other than a couple of small wins in december ( a calendar and a coupon for a chicken snack) i've not had a proper win since February 2017!

    i had a few nice wins in 2016, but hopefully that doesn't mean i've run out of comping luck!
    [COLOR="Px (urple"]Good luck for 2025 Comping! Be lucky! [/COLOR]
    My July 2025 Wins: £50 dining out voucher (web)
  • I started at the end of December and haven't had a win yet but I shall carry on entering anyway! I'm sure 1 day I will win something!
    Started comping in January 18 and i'm already more than a little addicted!
    2019 wins: 20p topcashback game win, Tomy Puzzle Wars Game, £200 to spend at Brooks Taverner, Day out in london with brunch, travel and £2000 shopping spree
  • join the club!!!!

    a few small wins in November but that's about it for the past 6 months
  • I have been comping since 2004 and keep a spreadsheet of all my wins. The last four or so years, wins have been steadily declining. In fact last year was the worst ever with only 4 wins albeit one was a trip to NYC which I won last May. Since May nothing at all, nothing in all the advents and nothing this year. I used to win many prizes and have won some fabulous high value prizes too over the years.

    I am doing nothing different and I know winning is all down to luck. It is just so disappointing that today it really is so very hard to win a prize. :(
    The best things in life are free.....
  • Nothing since I won two bags of chocolate coins in the advents. I’ve been comping for years and used to win regularly. Some really fantastic prizes but now there seems to be a lots more entries. Still I keep trying to win the next big one. :)
