Comps i'm focusing on in May in order to complete 2026 wishlist

Nothing new. He's done this before, just seems to have had a break for a few years.
What piddles me off is people entering comps for things they have no intention of using just to get their "win rate" up.

Maybe post some thanks in I won! I won! I won!, assuming some of the comps you've won were entered via MSE, rather than showing off in Compers chat.

£200 TripAdvisor voucher sounds good

Just to play devil's advocate, there actually is a current purchase competition listing TripAdvisor vouchers as prizes:
https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/corona-extra-premium-lager-beer-bottles-12x330ml
To the OP: The majority of people on this forum don't really pay for competitions, hence the lower number of wins compared to you focusing more on the paid ones. If you only count the wins from free competitions you enter, you'll probably find them comparable to everyone else. People are happy to see other people winning prizes, but not so much when it seems like you're rubbing their faces in how many you've won compared to them. Well done on your wins and I'm glad your purchases are paying off, but I'll continue to stick to the free ones and take a win where I get it :)
Edit: If you want to keep a running tally of your wins, perhaps you could do something like King_Mustard does in IWIWIW and keep updating it as the year goes on. This way you can send any thanks to people who have posted on-site competitions you've won as well as listing all the off-site ones in one place without needing to have lots of different threads. Here's King_Mustard's list:

Some more wins to report
£250 daily mirror
10 nectar points Sainsbury's app instant win
£1 snicker bar voucher
14 wins now this month and 86 to go with 2000 comps entered bit behind because I went to see super furry animals and been busy with other stuff. One last push now to try and achieve my goal for this month.

I just signed up for this newsletter (no purchase made) and they immediately told me I won a £50 voucher, so I suspect everyone who enters gets a "prize".
Upon further digging, it isn't a voucher at all, it's a promo code. And it's only valid in the "Things to Do" section so you can't use it to book a hotel, it's the usual pay using their various affiliate links for hotels.

None of the comps I won have been from here. Half of the comps aren't even listed on here.
