so i started comping a few weeks back, how long does it take to get going? I havent won anything apart from complementary tickets to an antiques fair! Ho and a spam letter saying I won an holiday but that was just a timeshare scam.

I suppose what im asking is, do you kind of find out in august what you won for July ect (dependant on Comp end dates of course)

aaaaaggggessss go and do something less boring instead :rotfl:

Hard to say really, my first win took 15 months :eek: but that was ages ago when the board was tiny, some people are winning in their first week/month, just hang on in there, something will come your way

Like everyone else says it varies really, I got a win the week after I started comping, I had a great start of July but I have only had a couple of small wins since middle of July. I'm hoping my luck will return soon as I'm sure the postie is getting fed up of the evil looks I give him honestly though keep at it, I was feeling a bit down hearted earlier but a good read of the i Won board always cures that. Good luck

thanks for the replies, I know it will take a while for me to start being in the system if you know what i mean

I had a look at the comping guide, Im doing all that now using roboform ect.

Thanks

nothing is definate in the world of comping it's all down to luck
some win some don't
some have been successful compers for years and found their winnings dwindle

some people have been entering comps from months now and have hardly won a bean

some first time posters have said they have won itv
if you enjoy doing it then do it
people in the comp world come and go
for some people its not about winig its about taking part

first thing i won were two tickets to an independant film in some arty cinema

gave them away on here
but after that i had been quite successful
good luck its time consuming

Yes. I see his name is LOQUAX lol... Would of thought he would disguise himself.. Must think it makes him look like a big cheese... Moldy cheese more like lol... Ah well... Never mind..
I like it much better here.. it smells there... cheese!

I think the best thing is, I'm sure there is a blog site called one yellow duck or something and he decided to have some uncomplimentary words about this website ( not comps, but a cashback issue) it was posted on site questions and amazingly the rant was removed from the blog :rolleyes:


*edit* found the link
