I haven't won anything for quite some time and I was beginning to think it was time to quit. My first win was in 2010 - I won a £850 condenser dryer followed by oil hampers, DVDs, tickets, vouchers and t shirts then nothing. This morning the postman handed me a small package that I wasn't expecting. When I opened it I saw a bottle of French's smooth and spicy mustard and a note saying congratulations. This little bottle of mustard renewed my faith in comping and I wouldn't have entered the competition if it wasn't for the fantastic Prizefinder. Thank you for finding these fantastic competitions.

I never thought I would be lucky..
Sunday, May 5, 2013
Your site was recommended by a friend around 2 months ago and I decided to give it a bash. I'm generally a really unlucky person so I didn't expect to win anything, however within 2 weeks I'd won a hair styling set, followed by £25 to spend on personalized football gifts. Then followed a make up set from a Facebook comp, and a £50 Saks voucher from Nivea..as if that wasn't enough I then won a Rafflecopter comp for a box of Ren skincare goodies and the same night, 2 pairs of silver earrings from another fb comp. And to top it all off I just won a massive sweetie hamper tonight! I also won little things in between like paint testers and expensive hand cream. Counting it up I've won well over £300 worth in the last 2 months. I'm now hooked and really hold out for a shopping spree for clothes. The way my luck's going I'll be there in no time. Thanks so much for your easy to use site. I love logging in every night before bed and seeing what's new. Here's hoping the luck continues!
My Spongebob win
Friday, May 3, 2013
I didn't get to enter many comps in April as it was the start to the 2 weeks school holidays, then my daughter was in hospital sick. But to my surprise I still had a lot of wins - my two favourites were a £75 diamante clutch bag and a night at Spongebob's 4D premiere at Birmingham's Sea Life Centre. We went last night and enjoyed the free VIP tour, milkshakes, balloons, flags, photos and free popcorn. The best bit was that I also met up with two other compers that I have became friends with - we had a great laugh with our children!
My very first win!

I comped for a little while during 2012. I then stopped completely until a month ago and have now picked it up as a hobby. I only work part time and I've had a ton of spare time on my hands. I won my first competition this week, a ticket to Etsy's London wedding event! I was so excited when I received the email and I would just like to say a quick thank you to everyone who posts the competitions :)
A prize for the kids
Wednesday, May 1, 2013
I have been comping on and off for a few years and won some great small prizes so far, nothing too big but the prizes that always give me the most satisfaction are the ones you don't even know are coming. And especially prizes for my two boys.
So far I have won a child's bike from innocent smoothies for them, a cuddly toy, some books and the latest was this ninja turtles Lego. I hadn't done any comping in a while, I came on ThePrizeFinder and did a search for Lego competitions and only entered those. I had no idea it was coming and my oldest son was so excited. Now I'm under strict orders to win a lot more! Here he is with the finished model.A fabulous, fun hobby that can reap rewards!

I stumbled across comping back in 2011 and as soon as I won my first prize (a box of chocolates!) I was hooked. Once I returned to work and then found out I was pregnant again, comping took a back seat for a while as life got in the way. Then in January 2013 and feeling the pinch, I decided to pick up where I left off to see if I could win our little family a few treats. As most of my previous wins were from ‘effort’ comps, I decided to focus my energy on these and cut down on the basic ‘enter your details’ competitions (apart from those to win prizes on my wish list!). ThePrizefinder is brilliant and makes it so easy to sort through the thousands of comps out there & whittle it down to those that I really want to enter. In the last few months I’ve been fortunate enough to win trips to Paris, Bristol and Ireland, a year's supply of Gu chocolate puddings, £80 meal vouchers, hair styling goodies, baking goodies and (my Husbands favourite!) a 10Kg wheel of Jarlsberg cheese, plus lots of other little bits and bobs to keep us smiling. Comping is a lovely, fun and free hobby that has afforded us some luxuries that we wouldn’t normally have been able to have. The effort comps can range from the serious to the utterly silly, and I love seeing everyone's entries - some make me laugh, some make me cry, and I’m always amazed at the creativity of people. Good luck everyone, happy comping!
Trip of a lifetime!

I have been comping since the beginning of December 2012 using this amazing website and I hadn't had anything at all until last month when I received two amazing prizes! First off I received a phone call from Smooth Radio to let me know iI had a won their America holiday to Washington DC with free car hire and $600 to spend in an outlet store - on the trip we will also be visiting Maryland and Virginia! I was told that 10,000 people had applied and I had won! It really does go to show you have to be in it to win it. A week later I found out that I had won tickets to Viva Forever as well so I am beyond over the moon! Thankyou Prizefinder!
Comp Tracker = Success!

To maximise wins as a comper, we all know it takes organisation and I have to say that Theprizefinder's software updates have made a huge difference to my comping entries. I love having everything (information, entry forms) etc all in one place, and very importantly, knowing that I haven't yet missed the closing date! Oh yes, and at least I know that I'm less likely to disqualify myself by entering something more than once.
This month, I've won with John Frieda (twice), tickets to The Other Art Fair, tickets to the theatre, Elemis products (gorgeous and worth £84!) and best of all, I got a call from Jazz FM yesterday to say that I've won a VIP theatre trip including an overnight stay in a hotel. Whoop, whoop!
My Big Win - Big Monster bed with a TV
Tuesday, April 30, 2013
I've been entering competitions since last year. I've only been on ThePrizeFinder for a few months but I entered a Facebook comp to win a bed with the TV fitted at the bottom and when I got a message to say that I won, I could not believe it! I've never won anything in my life before. It was a dream that came true.
Another great win
Tuesday, April 30, 2013
ThePrizefinder has helped me win some more fantastic competitions. This is me relaxing in our 5 star London hotel before going for a gorgeous meal and to see Mama Mia in the West End, which I won with Magic Radio. My boyfriend and I had a lovely time at the One Aldwych hotel and the show was really entertaining.
I also recently had a runner up prize with Absolute Radio of a Home office programme for the computer worth £80 and last month, I had a few smaller prizes too - 5 packs of dog chews with Concord and a £50 Clarins double serum moisturiser.
I will certainly keep entering and checking out the comps on ThePrizefinder. Many thanks!
