I've been comping for about two years now and over that time I've won approx £10,000 of prizes. I used to have a minor gambling addiction and comping has really helped me overcome this - as I still get the same buzz from winning but I haven't spent any of my own money in the process - only time!
I've won lots of great prizes, ranging from small things (like free bread and nuts!), medium prizes (like DAB radio, shoes, dresses) to larger things (£1000 B&Q voucher, Cotswold's break) but my best win to date came in March this year - a holiday of a lifetime to LA - staying in the Four Seasons, Beverly Wilshire where Pretty Woman was filmed! All travel and accommodation costs were included plus spending money. The competition was a random email prize draw with Picturehouse cinemas that I found on theprizefinder.com. Ever since I found out I'd won I planned to take the trip for my birthday this month. I'd literally been counting down the days! I got back last week and had the most amazing time - which was topped off with my boyfriend proposing on the steps of Rodeo Drive!
There is no way we could ever afford such a luxurious holiday, so it really was unforgettable!
Thank you so much for all your hard work... and now I get to enter all the wedding comps!!
