Thinking of entering comps - how many do you do?

You can get roboform here

Just scroll down the page a bit.

The free version is fine, but if you want to enter comps on a serious level, you will need to pay for the full version. Thats because the free version restricts the number of passcards you can hold.

I must have hundreds and hundreds of passcards stored, mostly for logging in to sites which require registration, but also for sites where I enter comps regularly and the submit form is always the same (including the opt out boxes) The Take a break and Chat puzzle comps are a good example of that

If you don't enter then you don't win. But you can enter hundreds a week and still not win - I've tried and died on this one. I've also entered a few (about a dozen daily) of the very best and biggest prizes and I've won :j Basically it's just luck of the draw. Of course I'd like to win, but for me it's the thought of what I could win rather than the actual winning - I'm a dreamer

I've been entering competitions for almost 2 months now; I'd say I enter at least 50 a day (usually more; but only things I actually want to win for myself or someone I know), and have had 5 wins so far (see signature). I think the longer you do it for, the more you'll win as some closing dates can be quite far off, plus it might take companies a while to notify winners. I always use my real details, but have a separate email address for comps than for personal email. I do it because I enjoy it - it's fun to imagine what you might win, plus this forum is a very friendly place.

i think sometimes when u do win big and good prizes theres nothing to aspire too does that sound daft,like i won a few biggies last year and now i think i have no chance of ever having that luck again.

I won my dream prize which was a holiday - unfortunately it wasn't AI, so I'm hoping to win AI next time Some people do keep winning and it could be anyone's

Been comping for about 2 months now and have been very lucky so far. I enter about 40 a day I think. You have to be in it, to win it!

I have a separate email account for the competitions, I opt out of whatever I can get away with, and I only go in for what I really want or I can sell.

You need patience but persevere! :T

I probably enter around 30 a day mainly for prizes I want, and don't tend to bother with DVDs, books and CDs unless it's something I'd really like. Each day I spend a further 20 minutes or so going through the "comps ending...." post for the next day, and manage to pick up a few that I've missed.

My biggest wins (and I've been comping nearly a year) were a £100 catalogue spend and one-night break, so its not exactly value-for-money in terms of time spent entering the comps, but I enjoy it and every little win is a thrill!

I've only just started doing competitions again. This time i keep a record of everything i enter to see just how much i enter and what success rate i'll get.

Since 15th of March i've entered 877 competitions so average around 65+ comps entered a day. (Although i have been off work for the last week so i've had plenty of time on my hands). No wins yet, but if i keep going at this pace i imagine a few wins will come my way - big or small!
