  • Hmm, it feels as though I am blacklisted internally.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't expect to win, I just thought I would statistically have won something by now, consider the amount of their competitions I have entered.
    honestly, I must have entered around 8000 comps last year and won a handful of items worth around £10 each. You just have to plough on.

    My first win this year was from House Beautiful and have been sent an email to say it's on the way. 

    I've won a few bits from them over the years.

    I enter each prize  I'm interested in on a daily basis. I'm quite picky so only a few from each magazine but checking my winnings spreadsheets I won 4 times in 2022 and the same again this year the last being from Good Housekeeping in November. It was a large bag of soil improver which took hubby and I a couple of hours to shift from the roadside delivery to the back garden but well worth the effort. Great stuff worth about £130. Don't give up.
  • Yes, I have had several very good prizes from these competitions, including garden furniture and a luggage set

    I've won quite a few times with them. I started entering in 2015 and from my email wems I have won 25 times. I won 7 times in 2015 with my biggest win being a holiday to Chamonix and I had only entered that one the one time. Last year I won 5 times.
  • Hi
    I am very new to this.  I have entered the daily mag competitions for the last couple of weeks diligently. Yesterday I happened to click onto the gain extra entries, the text states you can claim up to 15 additional entries to your daily 1on each competition.  It made me feel a little disheartened as I only enter once and simply do not have the time to recruit people for extra entries. Do people on here just enter once per day or multiple times? Am I wasting my time?

    I only enter the once daily and there are people who have won without entering everyday

    I only ever enter once a day and not always every day. Some I just enter the once.
