    One ended in December I got told in March and another ended in March, I only found out thanks to lcf4eva posting the winners list on here last week, i contacted them and they're finally notifying people now and sending out the prizes! So don't worry if you haven't won, you might have but you don't know it yet! :rotfl:

    I think it depends on the company/website. I have seen that some people have posted that they have had a WEM from comps from as little as 3-4 days after it closed. Others have received WEMs months afterwards!
    I want some more WEMs, I've only ever had 2, and one of those was a Phoebemail from the Glamour May comp (1 out of 31 days :rolleyes: ) :D

    Good luck and hope you get your first WEM really really soon!!

    Sometimes it can be 3 months, other times you can get your prize the next day :D

    I also think it depends on the company's rules. I am also wondering as to whether you have to opt for their emails, newsletter, etc to have a chance to win? :confused: I never tick these :eek:

    Will be grateful for a reply here!

    How long is a piece of string?

    Not very helpful I know but sometimes prizes just arrive, within days, within weeks, within months.
    Sometimes a WEM comes prior to that.
    Sometimes a prize doesn't turn up for months .........

    Took me 6 weeks from first entering to get my first win though - bet that's what you really want to know :D

    PS - I get relatively few WEMS to my wins :D Most just arrive! :D
