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 prize for the kids

A fabulous, fun hobby that can reap rewards!
Wednesday, May 1, 2013
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!
Wednesday, May 1, 2013
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!
It will be a barbecue summer!
Tuesday, April 30, 2013
I have been doing competitions with The Prize Finder for almost six months now. I have had a couple of moderate wins, quite a lot of small wins and one very good win of pans and kitchen equipment. I had a phone call last Friday morning telling me I had won a barbecue but not the make, model or provider. I heard a knock on the door at 12.20pm today and a delivery man had a huge box with him. I opened it and found this barbecue. It is a Weber Q200 with stand. I check the B&Q price for it and it retails at £279 so it is by far my biggest single win of anything in my life. It does show that people do win big off The Prize Finder and I would like to thank Steve and Di for their hard work and the amazing site they have made, look after and alter for the better all the time. To the rest of you compers, keep entering, keep hoping and one day a delivery man might turn up at your door with a huge box!
Happy Hair
Monday, April 29, 2013
I've been on PrizeFinder for about five months now. For the last two months I've really been getting into entering competitions and have won a couple of prizes. Last week I entered a Facebook Competition, an instant win on John Frieda and I won a hairdryer. I also won a case of energy drinks last week through a Facebook competition. I've started all my friends off entering competitions too. Thank You Prizefinder :]
April happiness!

I absolutely love your site, it's amazing and has helped me a lot. I started seriously comping at the end of last year and have had some great wins, you just have to keep plugging away and enter everything! April has been good: a necklace and cuddly toy from Smartshoppers, t-shirts from Bunker Mentality, necklace/bangle set from Gumigem, Thorntons chocolate, a dress from omg fashion and the best wins - a cash prize of £50 from Pounds to Pocket and a year's supply of Emmi Caffe Latte - yumm! I would love to win an iPad mini to go with the iPhone 5 I won in December - that would make my year!

Monday, April 29, 2013
I absolutely love your site, it's amazing. I started entering comps at the end of Feb 2013 and have won loads of marvellous things worth over £300 worth such as - The perks of being a wallflower goody bag, photo shoot worth £70, £25 love2shop vouchers, Joules posh wellies - I couldn't believe it when they came and the tag said £70! Wow!!
I've also won a Mojito cocktail kit, Fudge hair product, John Frieda hair stuff, £10 Facebook instant win, Gillette Fusion Proglide razor, lego kit, case of 12 bottles of Lucozade Revive for my husband's works, goody bag with various things and many more little things. All I can say is if you put the time and effort in you will win. I'm hooked :) Thanks Prizefinder for all your helpful comps hints and tips :) I really want to win a new phone or iPad so I'm keeping it up, maybe I'll be lucky :) xx
