Meet Our Latest Winners!

I haven't had much time for comping since the recent arrival of my first baby. I have prioritised what I enter in terms of them being to win prizes which would be most practical and useful to us. I've mainly entered Twitter competitions and have had two lovely prizes from Twitter. I've won a picnic hamper which is going to be a wedding present for a friend and I've won a £100 Tesco voucher from Tesco baby club. I also won a signed and numbered copy of the Pulitzer Prize winning book The Goldfinch which is really special and my Grandad will love it.

I'd love to win a little holiday for us, but in the meantime I'm being really specific about what I enter and although I only enter around 50 per week I've been quite lucky. Love the new menus on ThePrizeFinder by the way! Really helpful. :)

June got off to an incredible start when I received a phonecall from Hotpoint to say I'd won a washing machine in a photo competition. Our current machine has been playing up a bit and I knew we could do with a new one. However a couple of months ago I'd also been chatting to my neighbours about how wonderful competitions are. They had said they could do with a new washing machine and I said "I'll see what I can do". So when i got that phonecall I decided to give the beautiful new machine to my lovely neighbours as they have had the worst year you could ever imagine. I could never have afforded to buy them something as generous so it was a wonderful feeling to do something nice for a really deserving couple.
The only other wins in June were a handcream and £10 costa coffee voucher. As I've learnt over this first year of comping you really never know what's round the corner.

June has been utterly wonderful. I've won a total of 45 prizes that are worth well over a grand. My two HUGE wins this month were a brand new 40" Smart LED TV & Soundbar worth £520 and my second huge win was an amazing chair that's worth over £400.

Other wins included a months worth of miso soup and then a weeks worth of miso soup, £50 Topshop Vouchers, £10 Boots Voucher, £10 Missy Empire Voucher, over £50 in Amazon vouchers, a Brita Fill & Go, a Remington curl wand, beauty bundles, books, a £50 eyelash growth serum, fancy dress costume, makeup and many many more wonderful prizes :)

Obviously, I'm most excited about my new television and soundbar (especially because I can now make some money too selling my old TV) but the photo would be rather boring so instead, I've opted for the photo of my gorgeous daughter on her new "throne". All hail Queen Bridie and all thank our lucky stars for comping :D xxx

This month I've had some great wins, including a full yoga outfit from CrystalCups Lifestyle, 3,000 super points to spend on play.com, a personalised rubber stamp, a festival wet wipes kit and some film merchandise with cinema tickets for my local Odeon from Intu Metrocentre.

My favourite win this month was from a Father's day photo competition with Flahavan's oats on Facebook. The theme was a photo of your dad and breakfast. I submitted this photo of my dad cooking a fry up whilst my dog watches in anticipation. I won a big box of goodies including 3 large tubs of oats, kitchen utensils, recipe book and other branded stuff. I've since baked so many flapjacks to share with my colleagues!

I fully appreciate how lucky I have been this month and it will be someone else turn next months and I can’t wait to read the winning stories! To prove how fickle this comping hobby of ours can be, my sister who is also a Prizefinder user has only won a jar of olives this month.

June has been my best month ever for wins and they have all been from Facebook like and share posts. I have won:

.x1 Biscuit Hamper
.x1 wooden croquet set
.x2 Vegan Lipsticks

I am still eagerly awaiting the last 3 prizes to turn up. I am still hoping for what I would consider a big win, such as money, vouchers or a holiday but for now the small wins trickling in are keeping me happy!

After a bit of a lull in comping for various reasons I have just started to get my groove back, and have had a brilliant run of wins. My first win of the month was a fabulous pendant lamp, perfect for the new house we should be moving into in a couple of weeks. I also won a scarf on a Facebook competition.

However the highlights of the month have been gig and festival tickets. Him indoors and I love Hudson Taylor, so I was over the moon to win tickets to their gig, plus access to the soundcheck and a meet and greet with the boys. We had an amazing night up in London and the gig was fantastic.

That was a priceless win, but in terms of actual cost I had my biggest win ever when I got a call to say I won 2 weekend tickets including camping for Latitude festival in July! It's one I'd had my eye on but couldn't afford so I'm now counting down the days.

Anyone who doesn't give comping a try is missing a trick.

I have been comping for about 10 years now and my most favourite prizes are the once in a lifetime experiences this wonderful hobby gives me. One year my husband and I got to celebrate Valentines Day on a luxury trip to Paris. That same year we were whisked away to LA to see Beyonce in concert, where we stayed in a 5 star resort. We have been to several film premieres. A special preview of a horror film which we watched in a spooky run down chapel. We got the chance to take our kids to Camp Bestival and Wychwood festival. And most recently we have won a stay up in Alton Towers, with fast track to all the thrill rides. Thank you ThePrizeFinder for helping me win so many fantastic unique life experiences.

I started comping in July 2013 and I didn't really know what I was doing. I was literally searching Google trying to find competitions. Then I discovered this site and the power of social media. I had a few small wins, a case of organic wine, and £100 John Lewis vouchers from an instant win, in the run up to Christmas but I wasn't keeping a record of my prizes, so this year that's what I started to do. I had a great start to January when my first win was a Jamie Oliver grillpan, swiftly followed by a Candlering and an iPad Mini. I also won a £50 Amazon voucher from my first creative comp on Facebook, and then a few more small wins after that. Then in April I received an email from You Magazine saying that I had won a 7-night Norwegian Fjords cruise! Not only was this a fantastic surprise, it was from a competition that I entered back in July 2013, when I very first started out, so I guess it was beginner's luck! Since then I have won some more lovely prizes including a Nivea set, a Lancaster suncare set, £250 worth of pet supplies and a BBQ! It's been a great first year for me and I love my new hobby!

I have been using ThePrizeFinder to enter competitions for over a year now and haven't had much luck in winning. But I saw a Facebook page called cupcakes.co.uk and saw they were doing a competition to win a Green & Blacks chocolate hamper so I decided to enter it.
I checked after a few days to see who the winner was and in disbelief I saw my name, I couldn't believe I finally won something. The chocolates didn't last very long but I hope the luck of winning will!
