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.King_Mustard said: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.4 -
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.1

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?1 -
I only enter the once daily and there are people who have won without entering everydayWinningaddress1 said:Hi
