    I used to comp loads but got out of the habit.....and now I'm wondering why.
    Most valuable win-has to be a tie £5000 cash from Letts diaries and another £5000 from the now defunct Tombola.com who were wonderful. When they called to confirm my win and I mentioned I was off on holiday in 2 days they rushed the cheque to me so I could bank it before I left (and drew some whilst away)
    Most used win was a digital camera from Soreen which was faulty but they had left the receipt in the box so I exchanged it for one that cost £100 more as Boots had a camera sale on (got a fiver back as well in cash). That camera has been all over the UK, Vegas, Cleveland, New York and has given me a wealth of memories.
    Most high profile win was £3500 from BBC when I appeared on a TV show
    I also won a meet and greet with Donny Osmond which was very memorable :D

    OK I give up-I don't know why I don't comp anymore-Time to get back into it properly :)

    Mine would have to be the laptop I won from Tesco Compare last year. It's used for hours on end every day and has meant I can sit and enter lots more comps (therefore increasing my wins)applause.gif

    My most memorable win was the Louisiana Lounger (which we sold to a local sex shopjaw-dropping.gif You'll have to google it to find out what it was). What a shocker that wasfaint.gif
