To all those that enter competitions

daisy2002

I do online comps, some text & postcard comps.

I think it varies for me, sometimes i win nothing from online comps & get a few wins from postcards & then i win nothing from postcard comps. I haven't had a win from a postcard comp for ages, they are normally my best source of wins lol.

Tiebreaker comps are good if thats your kinda thing, personally my brain shrivels up & dies as soon as it sees a tiebreaker :rotfl:
Tiebreakers tend to have a lower entry, look for entry forms too in shops like morrisons & Wilkinsons.

I've been comping for over five years now and never won anything...starting to think it's a waste of time for people like me, really.:rolleyes:

How many competitions are you entering every week?

I'm not sure, I've never really kept track tbh, but I suppose if I was on the computer non-stop til my eyes bled and gave out all my details I might win a teeny prize lol...I think I just have really bad luck (well, as far as comps go anyway!) Things like Myoffers etc I will enter every single competition on the sites til I have to wait for more, but perhaps I've been doing something wrong if there really are this many genuine winners...I don't think I have the patience though, over five years regularly and not a thing, not worth it for me!

I enter comps when i have the time, my first win was a buggy for my son, which came in handy as we planned to buy one that weekend, since then I have won tickets to the Pride of Britain awards ( got to schmooze with the celebs and met Amir Khan) and a pair of tickets for the Ideal Home Show.
What gets me though are people who enter every single comp going whether they have an interest in the product or prize.
I only enter what i think i would want and that i fit the criteria eg by being over 18 etc etc

I never enter competitions on Myoffers, you rarely hear of winners from there, well at least i haven't heard many winners from there.
Do you just enter online comps? Would you be any good at tiebreakers?
Tiebreaker comps have a lower entry, i don't enter them as my brain doesn't work when it sees a tiebreaker :rotfl:
I enter online, postcard & some text comps.
I can easily do a few hundred a week.
I look at some winners & do think did you really want that prize. Some people will enter for everything they see. Personally i only enter for stuff for my family or things i can give as pressies at birthdays & christmas.

I have been quite lucky this year but there are some people i know who win so often & are far luckier than myself.

For example with the recent fanta competition i entered everyday & won nothing at all
However i know of people winning 2 xbox games rooms & 5 nintendo DS .

If you can, make half an hour a day for competitions & do as many as you can in that time. Try daily competitions too. The recent Oli & Thorntons comps have been good fun & i've won in both competitions... the Oli one finished on Friday though but Thorntons finishes today.

Good luck, make some time for competitions & within a few months you'll have a win.

I started comps at the end of Sept and have won quite a few things. The best won being £1000 cash. They did ring me on my mobile to get my address to post the cheque so it might be worth putting correct details in!!!

Good luck

If you get any marketing calls mention TPS and they put the phone down very quickly!

I use my comp mobile number so if it rings I know it is a comp win

I started in July and you can see my wins in my sig, nothing huge but nice to win. I will be entering as many as I can of any kind so that I can put them on ebay and get rid of my credit card bill! After tht I'll go back to just entering the things I really want...
