Meet Our Latest Winners!

This month I entered the VisionDirect #blinkwinkthink Mother’s Day Competition on Facebook and Twitter. It was a photo competition. I took a quick selfie with my toddler daughter and it just so happened to be the one they were looking for. Not only did I win a huge bunch of flowers and scrummy bottle of Laurent-Perrier Champagne from Interflora (worth £99), but the photo itself has a lot of meaning too. I took it whilst my mum was visiting from Africa and I remember the day clearly. Knowing that she was in my house at the time makes for a happy memory. I had a wonderful Mother’s Day - spoilt rotten with cards, candles and FREE flowers. My husband was quite impressed at the saved expense. The flowers have now sadly died, but my bottle of champagne is being saved for a special day - perhaps for the next win!

I have entered many local competitions over the years and enjoyed winning some lovely prizes for my family, mainly days out, cinema tickets and rugby tickets.
I decided to take my comping to the next level at the beginning of March 2015 and came across the Prizefinder site which has made entering comps so easy to do and I find myself getting quite addicted!!
I am pleased to say that I have won four lovely prizes this month, and fingers crossed that there are many more to come.

Tickets to the Essence of Ireland Show (So Glos)
Kids Rugby books (Primary Times)
Family ticket to Extreme Stunt show (Mumsnet)
Mothers Day Goody Bag and Flowers from the local shopping centre ( Kings Walk Shopping Centre/ So Glos)
This was an amazing prize of flowers, teddies,candles, chocolates and perfume. I was able to share the gift between my Mum, Mother-in-law, myself and my daughter.T.
The men in the family were happy to share the chocolates!!
It was a wonderful prize to win and made for a lovely Mother's Day.

Thanks Prizefinder x

When it comes to my comping, I didn't have a good March....or February in that matter; then, yesterday, it all changed. I was in the middle of decorating our home for my husband's birthday when I got an e-mail from Onken that I've won a KitchenAid blender and Joseph Joseph goodies! Wow, I'm so pleased with this prize, as I've really wanted a good quality blender (started to make smoothies lately and our cheap blender can't even prepare a strawberry one) - and it's always such a great feeling when you win something off your wish list! Not to mention the other JJ goodies. A few days ago hubby said that all he really wanted for his birthday is sharp knifes...and guess what, a brilliant set is included in the prize. Couldn't be happier and it's just the kind of boost I needed.

I started entering online about 2 months ago. I love entering the creative ones especially.

On the 6th day of entering online I won a holiday of my choice by entering a photo of the most romantic holiday picture. I was over the moon when I won it. Weve chosen to go Venice in July.

I also won 100 free Instagram prints from entering a spring photo through Instagram.

I will defiantly be keeping an eye out for more photo competitions. However I have also been lucky enough to to win tickets to the BBC Good Food show at the NEC and Knitting and Hobby craft tickets at the NEC....so yes I feel very lucky :) I will continue to enter more competitions.

I began using the prize finder in March just after I found out I was expecting. So using Prize Finders advice I only entered comps I wanted to win so focused on baby related times. I had the odd win here and there including a monthly subscription of items for each month of my pregnancy. I began to comp even harder come Decemebr when my baby was born. I even won my baby change bag which I love from an advent. This year has been great and I had my biggest win a Rangemaster cooker from a Facebook competiton celebrating the company making their millionth cooker. Could not believe it. Comping is so exciting and my friend and family have started too!!!

I have been comping for years and have been lucky enough to win several gorgeous holidays amongst other things, but although I was winning now and again, my prizes seemed to have dried up.
I was disillusioned, but late last year decided to make a concerted effort to enter more comps than I had been - and boy am I glad I did! This year has been fantastic so far.
I thought I would keep a list of each thing I won to spur me on, so now every time I find myself now comping for a day or two, I open up my notes and take a look at my list. It makes me start entering again straight away!

Here's my list for this year so far -

£100 Intu vouchers
Green People make up worth £40 approx
Danio yogurts
Shine Like a Celeb beauty products worth £250

It just goes to show that if you persevere, good things will come your way :)

I have been a member of the Prize Finder magazine for many years and the website for 2 years and have had some nice prizes. I had a long dry spell of six months and was starting to think I would never win again when I had a wem from London 24 in March saying I had won tickets to Glasgow Comedy Festival to see Tommy Tiernan on 14th March. Included was 1st class return rail fare, dinner at Stravaign and a 4* hotel stay (with breakfast) at CitizenM. My friend and I loved the train journey with all its perks and had an amazing meal at the restaurant. Tommy Tiernan was hilarious and we had never been in a boutique hotel before. We had a unique, exciting and tiring weekend but the very best thing was the warmth and friendliness of the people of Glasgow. Katie, from the festival was so helpful, even giving me her mobile number in case we had any difficulties and we were treated like royalty by the restaurant, festival and hotel. Glasgow is a beautiful city and I would love to return. Thank you Prize Finder for giving me the opportunity to go in the first place.

I started comping in 2012 and over the years won some lovely prizes through the Prizefinder. In the last year or so I thought I would give creative comping a go and boy has it paid off. Since January I have won the Jessops Valentine comp with this picture, a years supply of Ecover products, a selfie stick and just got an email to say I have won my very first Ipad :) its a fantastic hobby and I look forward to many more lovely wins x

Wow, wow, wow! In all of my "competition plying career" March has been the most successful by far. I won over £750 worth of prizes but this is my favourite because it is a bundle, so I have sorted presents for Christmas and a birthday! I can honestly say, I am a competition playing addict :). Thank you ThePrizeFinder, as always, you are the best!

I have just been notified that I have won the fantastic prize of a two night holiday to the Euro Space Centre in Belgium for two adults and two children with Actimel/NDL! Great news you might think (and I did for a few minutes) - except for the fact that their 'conditions' state that 'children' must be over 6 and no more than 11 years old at the time of travel!!! That's a new definition of children in my book! The problem is, my step son is 12 this month and the only other child I could take is 14 in a couple of months, thereby making it impossible to get anything like the full benefit from this holiday, as it's basically designed for KIDS! I will be contacting Actimel/NDL who run the competition, but don't have great hopes of any change, as rules are generally rules. I know I should technically have read the rules before entering, but it said it was for two adults and two children - and that's exactly what we are and we should be able to take this up. If I read the conditions of all competitions before entering, I'd be able to enter around 1/10th or less, as it takes far longer to read the rules than to enter - to be honest, I just wouldn't bother entering any at all.
