  • I have only had two decent prizes this year - both involving effort plus a couple of very small wins. I was previously winning at least once a month usually 5 valuable prizes a year and several lower value.
  • Nothing at all since last October!

  • Does changing your email address help in some way? Is it because they think you are a new subscriber? Just curious....

    I have a new comping email yearly, and just use my official one for odd sites I'm really interested in. My comping email for this year is pretty befeft of stuff in my 'wins' folder - only 1 thing in there.
