Share Your July Wins

Submitted by tpf_kirsty on Tue, 2014-07-01 10:26

Hello again everyone!  Can’t quite believe we are in July already – eldest daughter turns 8 in 3 weeks (she has already picked out her present, her outfit and her cake hehe), and the schools will be brown up not long afterwards!  I am trying to win lots of nice treats for the summer holidays – beach toys, clothes vouchers, sun screen etc.  I have already made a good start with a win on the last day of June from Nivea – a bundle of sun creams, after suns, beach ball and bat & ball set - just the sort of thing I am keen to win at the moment!  What’s on your Wish List right now? 

June was quite kind to me for wins – 20 prizes in total, mainly small but love them all equally.   A few wins from the instant wins, mainly on Facebook, a few wins via text and game comps, 2 Twitter wins and both my daughters even had a win each – keeping on the comping tradition!  Some of my fave wins this month have been: 

  • £100 Brantano shoes voucher, from Netmums
  • A World Cup cooler bag and 4 mascots, from the Tesco text comp
  • A 4-pack of Coors light beer, from Coors Light on Twitter
  • A hamper of toiletries, from the Superdrug daily comp
  • A Disney Junior Sheriff Callie reward chart and stickers, won by my youngest from Disney Junior on Facebook
  • 2 sets of Playmobil, won by my eldest from Playmobil
  • A pack of New York Bagels, from their Facebook instant win

Looking back on my wins for June, there have been more high value prizes than I remember!  The Brantano voucher has been very handy in kitting my eldest out in summer shoes – I even got treated to a new beach bag!  Both the toiletries hamper and the Playmobil prizes came as surprises – no notification until they turned up via courier.  I love surprise wins! 

Anyway, enough about me, let’s have a look at what all you lovely people have been winning this month: Laura44v started the month well by winning a complete yoga outfit from CrystalCups worth £172, lindowal won some RHS Hampton Court Flower Show tickets and earned some brownie points from the mother-in-law, lish2013  won some lovely upside down planters from a Rafflecopter comp, kslade made her husband very happy by winning a tray of Pie Minister pies worth £42, steph494 won an amazing £500 Hugo Boss bundle, xxme2uxx had another great month winning lots of prizes including Models Own make up, a Cook Italian hamper, some Converse trainers and a Monster book bundle, joan won a hamper of Lavera sun tan products from New Look – a great way to get ready for summer!

I think the honour of “weirdest surprise comp win” this month goes to laura44v who had a random envelope arrive marked “Spontex” containing one, solitary Billy Boy condom!  Obscure doesn’t seem to quite cover this one!  Huge congrats need to go to Saetana who had a great month winning an Asus T100 Transformer book, £200 spending money and 4 tickets to see The Pixies at the Eden Centre in Cornwall – well done!! 

Let us all know how you get on with July’s comps by commenting below with your wins.  Don’t forget to upload a photo of your wins too for a chance to win a £50 voucher here

I look forward to hopefully being able to share more of my own wins next month, and to reading all about yours!  Happy comping everyone, lots of Lucky Dust to you all!

Kirsty x

Hey there i was wondering if someone could possibly help me,
I have been entering comps for about a year on and off but i still have yet to win anything.
I was wondering how many comps a month you guys enter so that i know if its just me not entering enough.
Thank you and congrats on all your wins :D x

Hi Alexness12341993! The average we recommend to try and do is roughly 100 a day, but that's straight prize draw, twitter, facebook and raffelcopter ones. If you do some more skill based comps like photos, videos, tie breakers etc they tend to have a lower entry rate and have better odds of a win! What kind of comps do you do? try and mix it up a bit - do some twitter, some facebook, some skill based, some easy prize draws. Also maybe concentrate on entering the things you really want first, and then move onto other things if you have extra time. Every day I search for comps for scooters, tents, holidays and camping equipment, as that's what I am trying to win off my wish list at the moment! Do you do the daily and instant ones that we split out? They can be a good confidence boost as you find out if you have won either instantly or the next day. I also enter comps by closing date, as I don't have the patience to wait months to be notified of a win! Best of luck with your comping, any questions just ask! xx

Haha, Yeah i Apply for all twitter, rafflecopter and prize draws.
I only do about 100 a week but thats due to being a single mum of two kids under 5, Thank you for replying.
I thought the daily ones were basically the same as instant so ive always avoided them.
I start my comping by doing the whole closing dates section first then i usually go through the sections by prize.
I dont enter things like holidays and events because im afraid i wouldnt be able to accept the prize but i usually go for kids things or i apply for beauty and pamper products.
I avoid offer x only because i had read on the blog that it hadnt had many winners or so on, Thanks for the advice hopefully i will be one of the lucky ones who will post my winnings on here sometime soon xx
