I started comping in 2000. did it for a few years on an on and off basis.
Gave up in 2002 (didn't have the time)
Started again last year... winnings over the years I suppose about 4-5 k
Last year was about 1.5k ( not inc a holiday to Turkey for 2 people I won in Dec.'07 (Thorntons)....had the email...just waiting for absolute confirmation."Every time you feel yourself getting pulled into someone else's nonsense, tell yourself: Not my circus, not my monkeys." - Mark Borkowski.

Ive been comping on and off for about 5 years. Ive won lots of the ususal t shirts, mugs, sort of prizes. Ive won three holidays, hastings, Washington and Portugal (The last one was by far the best as absolutely everything was paid for, mini bar, room service, all meals, all bar costs, all day trips with lunch out paid for, plus three nights out to venues with meals included. Infact the only thing we paid for was a cup of coffee in Heathrow airport whilst waiting to take off). Also have won lots of tickets to events. The last being yesterday i won tickets to the Rambo premiere. Money wise i have no idea but certainly worth the effort of entering.0

Just like to thank MSErs for posting comps + answers.

Started comping about 18 months ago ~ won about £4000 worth of stuff ~ waiting to win some sort of a holiday ~ used to enter anything going, but now have become more selective, (I've got enough books, dvd's, and cd's to keep me occupied while we are away for a few weeks) so don't expect totals to go up very quickly from now on.0

Hi,
I've been comping since August and had my first win within two weeks.
I enter about 70 comps a day and so far have won over £4000 of stuff. Most of which I keep or give as gifts, but occassionally I sell any runner-up prizes that are not wanted. That way I am also dealing with my debts (which are now decreasing nicely).
I wish you luck!Eleventh Heaven No. 321
