    Just got back from my holidays today to find out my neighbour had taken in my latest prize.
    It's an Orange CR60C PROFESSIONAL AMP.
    I better learn to play the guitar now.
    My luck is definately changing, as I have won some really nice prizes in the last couple of months
    The last prize was a £1000 cheque for a school of my choice, which was very well received by my grandson's Junior School.

  • Warm fuzzy feeling

    Saturday, November 30, 2013

    This is my first ever post on here. I started comping over 12 months ago after I had my first little win of a pen. I had the bug, I had this warm fuzzy feeling that real people do win these things. Some months there can be a few little wins, then it drys up to no wins at all, then maybe one big win, but however big or small it still gives me the same fuzzy feeling. I have won all sorts from chocolate to Alton Towers tickets, to VIP behind the scenes at Silverstone F1 last year. This month had really been a quiet one until I got an email 4 days ago from Free Radio to say I had won £200 Evans cycles vouchers. My god, I had a happy husband. That's his dream prize as he loves his cycling.

    After recently buying our first home and moving in (luckily having our post redirected) I got a big envelope through the door which had gone to my old address. Inside was a bathroom brochure and a letter congratulating me on winning £4,000 to spend in the brochure! Needless to say we were thrilled as the bathroom was last on the list to be sorted! All this 4 months after winning my holiday to Majorca which we came back from in October. Can't believe it! Thanks PrizeFinder!!!

  • Dream come true

    I have been comping for around 2 years now and had a few lovely wins but yesterday my wish came true. I have been entering comps on the AO (Appliances Online) Facebook page for a while now and would live in hope that one day that I would get that all important call during the "live show" or even for them to say my name. They ran a competition on their Youtube channel where all you had to do was count the cans of beans in the fridge freezer (sounds simple). Well after 40 mins of pausing & rewinding I got my answer. Leaving my details I never thought for one minute I would be the one. I had my baby on my knee watching in anticipation when they were announcing the winner of the various comps running then it came to the "beans" they put the winners name on screen and couldn't believe my eyes, it was me, I done it, I won. I screamed so loud the baby nearly jumped out his skin, my other two boys came running in to find me in tears. This is such an amazing win for me as my current fridge freezer is on its last legs and wasn't sure if it would actually make it through Christmas. I still can't believe I won but it gives hope to everyone, never give up, keep trying & entering as you just never know.

  • X factor Final here I come!

    Friday, November 29, 2013

    It's been a good month for me, and even though this has been the month I have won the least amount of competitions, the prizes have been amazing. At the start of the month I won a Google Nexus 7 with the Sunday Times. Couldn't believe it as I enter these every single week usually without luck! Finally I won a Nexus which I would never have been able to afford otherwise. The middle of the month was pretty quiet but I won a stunning pair of high heels that will be perfect for the party season. To top the month off, I only went and won 2 x factor final tickets for the Saturday night!. Followed by another 2 with a different company, and finally another 2 for the Sunday night. So 6 tickets all in for the full weekend! December is gonna be amazeballs! Here's a picture of the fab shoes I won :)

  • Back to my comping roots

    Posted by Higson

    Friday, November 29, 2013

    When I first started comping I concentrated largely on skill based comps. Baking, Poems, Tie Breakers, Photo's etc. I did very well from them as well as enjoying them but as time went on I got swept up in other kinds of comps. Doing more and more Facebook, blogs, twitter and other comps while the creative one's I entered became few and far between.

    While I was still winning most weeks it was not at the same level of wins or for that matter giving me the same satisfaction when I won.

    I had really lost my mojo and was thinking about stopping. Then I decided to go back to my comping roots and try my hand at skill and creative comps again. So instead of doing hundreds of comps a day some with 1000's of entries I would concentrate of doing one or two skilled a day and doing them well.

    Then when I have no skill comps to do I top up with others. If I am in a hurry I might do Re-tweets if I have more time I might do blog ones.

    I basically cherry pick the one's I REALLY want. Yes I enter less but I am not breaking my back trying to enter ridiculous amounts each day. And it's working...

    So far this month I have won £100 cash, £40 Lamp, Nokia Lumia, lot's of sweeties, a load of Ted Baker goodies worth £150 and other bits all from skill comps! I've also won a few none skilled comps so it's been a good month.

    With Christmas coming up it's Advent time and as much as I love them I am not going to let me skill comes get neglected while I do hundreds of them... I will pick 20 or so and stick to them.

    Sometimes to renew your coming MOJO all you need is to review your comping habits.

    The photo is the entry that won me my lamp.. You had to recycle old light bulbs and post a pic.

    I have had a quiet few months from a winning point of view but at last, a few successes. I was sceptical with the success of the Dailies list of comps but I have been doing them regularly. Then, at last a win courtesy of Tyrrells crips - a box load of crisps, snacks and popcorn. Just right for the Christmas munchies. Then a day later and out of the blue, I received a £5 voucher from The Jewel Hut for a prize draw I had entered on two days previously. Now, it is head down and try to win a really big prize. Will keep you informed on my success, if any.

  • Our First Win

    Posted by Higson

    Friday, November 29, 2013

    I've been doing competitions for over a month now and we had our first win which was a surprise as I'd just started to get fed up of entering them. We won a Debenhams gift bag worth over £200 through the London Evening Standard who emailed to say we had won and that they had passed our information over to Debenhams, who would be in touch. Debenhams then got in touch via email and a week later it arrived. The gift bag including everything from Perfume to fake tan and some of the items were worth £40 on their own. So it just goes to show that it's not worth giving up as your first win could be just around the corner. As people have mentioned, Christmas seems to be the busiest time for competitions and the prizes seem to be a lot better now so hopefully it won't be too long before the next win.

  • The other one!

    Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful and easy to use website. This must be a coincidence but I was reading the story Zoe submitted to you and I wanted to say I also won a first edition of the anagraminals book which when I asked to be made out to my two grandchildren, they kindly sent me two books to stop any fighting! I also won a Gary Barlow CD from the meerkats! So Zoe, keep entering your comps and I will continue from this end and hopefully we will get a really big win!

  • What could it be???

    I had one of those red cards put through the door yesterday by the postman as no one was in. Was quite excited as I hadn't ordered anything, so it must of been a competition win and a good one at that as the packet was sent recorded delivery.

    So off I trot to the Post Office after work so see what it is. Its quite a big box....what can it be????? Imagine my disappointment when it turned out to be.......four packets of ready salted crisps with my name on! A win is a win I suppose!
