I have been comping now for 22 years, winning a variety of prizes on an off but this year I joined ThePrizeFinder.com at the beginning of the year and have had my best year yet winning something every month. This started in December with a range cooker from Filipo Berio olive oil with a slogan. Other prizes have included a £50 Asda gift card, tickets to concerts and CD's, make up from Cosmopolitan and a fantastic day at the Olympics staying overnight in Radisson Bloomsbury with Cadbury chocolate. It was a chocolate lovers dream, we were given chocolate at every turn, they even put giant bars of dairy milk on our pillows at bedtime! I then won a holiday with Thomson Al Fresco which was a recipe competition I entered at the last minute from ThePrizeFinder. Tomorrow we are off to the Paralympics with tickets I won from Cadburys with a text competition. I am hoping my letter will get printed so I can keep up my record this year with a win in September!! Am so glad I saw your website and joined. It is the best comping website I have seen and has really improved my win rate. Big Thanks!!

My Best Comping Year Yet

Belfast win
Monday, September 3, 2012
Hi everyone,
I, like the rest, are always thinking when is the big one going to happen.
Well to me it has.. I entered a comp with East Midlands airport competition and literally forgot about it until a lady sent me an email to tell me I've won a free stay at the Hilton for 2 people, free flights and a trip to the Titanic museum to boot.
I even sat in the pilots chair (Me on the right) :-)
I also got to see my friends who moved over to Belfast, in would you believe an area called Holywood :-)
I'd just like to say, if you're thinking ThePrizefinder does not work, don't lose faith, IT DOES. If the proof of the pudding is in the eating, as the saying goes... I'M PROOF.
Thanks ThePrizefinder for giving me the chance to go to somewhere that on my budget I'd find very hard to afford otherwise.Lady Luck

I have been lucky enough to win a number of prizes this year thanks to ThePrizefinder.
The biggest one was a weekend in Brussels through Yours magazine, hence the picture of the Manneken Pis.So far this month I have won:
A Batman Power Attack Batmobile
A box of Chocolate Cheerios
£20.00 Nisa shopping vouchers
£40 Homeopathic Goody Pack from Nelsons
A prize from Kenco Millicano Caff Free (this has not arrived yet so not sure what it contains).Fingers crossed for more wins next month.
Addicted to evening comping!
Thursday, August 30, 2012
I started comping in March after moving in to my own house. I an a single mum to a 23 month old so funds are tight. My first prize came a few weeks after starting - £100 boots mini club vouchers. I have since gone on to win nearly £2000 worth of prizes, some being a small prize such as a pair of headphones. My biggest wins to date were 2 lots of £500 with Pepsi Max and Studio Catalogue promotions. I also won £50 worth of ebay shop vouchers off a Prizefinder comp which was spent on toys for my daughter's birthday - she got the tent early!!
Lush Prizes!
Thursday, August 30, 2012
I won a £50 haircare set through the Prizefinder in May and gave up my hobby after a quiet spell with no wins after that. Having since moved and discovered I am pregnant, I have a lot of time at home, so I've taken up my favourite hobby again just 2 weeks ago...and am I glad I did! I have woken up to a lovely suprise today, a UPS man with a huge box containing £100 worth of LUSH products! I only entered this about 4 days ago and can't quite believe that I have won! Such a treat in hard times, it will come in handy for lots of relaxing baths to ease my pregnancy aches! Hoping to win some baby things next! Thanks again Prizefinder!!
Odds On for a Great Weekend!
Thursday, August 30, 2012
I've just returned from an amazing weekend away, all courtesy of a fantastic hobby! A couple of weeks ago I got a phone call with the exciting news that I had won a VIP Raceday Experience with Dove & Grazia. It was for the Ebor Festival at York Racecourse with full hospitality & a night in a 4-star hotel. However when the arrangements were made there were no 4-stars available - so we were upgraded to a 5-star, whoop!! As York is 4-hours from us we decided to make a weekend of it and go to Alton Towers the day before (for free due to Tesco clubcard vouchers!). Saturday morning we dressed in our finery and arrived for a champagne reception, and it all got better and better. Food was amazing, free bar all day & betting money as well. Then off to our 5-star spa hotel for the night! Amazing how all my friends have now joined me in my hobby!!
Walking boots on their way
Wednesday, August 29, 2012
I've won a pair of Hi-Tec walking boots in a photo competition run by the Camping and Caravanning Club, along with no other than Ms Di Coke! Congratulations Di.
There were 10 categories in 'The Alternative Decathlon' competition, where you had to interpret Olympic themes with a camping slant, such as 'Discuss', 'Relay' and 'Beam'.
I entered a photo in each category and came joint third in the 'Hurdles' category with the photo of a red squirrel breaking entry into a nut feeder (right).
I didn't think it was my strongest entry - in fact, it was a last-minute entry just for the sake of entering something. It just goes to show that it depends what the judges are looking for and it's worth having a go.
I like entering 'skill-based' competitions, as you have to put a bit of effort into your entry, you can be creative and fewer people enter, so you have more chance of winning.
Thank you Prizefinder for the competition info!
Dandy Dick
Tuesday, August 28, 2012
I have only just started to enter competitions through the site and couldn't believe it when I won a dance masterclass with Jo Wood (the promoter was Smooth Radio) but then I realised that I couldn't take it as I was on holiday - always read the terms and conditions! Gutted.
But a few days later, on my birthday, I got an email from the Lancashire Telegraph to say that I had won two tickets to see a new production of Dandy Dick at the Opera House in Manchester.
Tonight I went to the opening night and it was brilliant. Even better as Kylie from Corrie sat two rows in front of me.
Thanks PrizeFinder - it was a great night out.Love getting winning emails

I've been comping for about 6 months now. My first win was 2 family tickets to the Jubilee at Hyde Park, then I got an email saying I had won a crate of 15 bottles of strawberry cider. My daughter also had a win on here - she entered a Katy Perry comp and won The Sims and Katy Perry add on plus a large poster and her latest CD. My latest win is a necklace from Max & Chloe which I'm waiting for. I'm addicted to comping thanks to this site and can't wait to see what my next win might be.
£250 Tesco Vouchers
Sunday, August 26, 2012
I started entering competitions about 3 months ago when I was bored one day after another long day at work. I was hoping at first to win a holiday within the first couple of days, as it will probably be a couple of years before we can afford to go anywhere, but soon realised that it would be hoping for a bit much and soon decided that as well as setting my sights on the bigger prizes, it would be sensible to aim for the smaller prizes as well.
This proved fruitful earlier this week when an unexpected parcel was delivered to our door. Having had no phone call or email to tell me about the prize, I was a little bit shocked and also overjoyed to find inside the box was a sample of Oust tap and showerhead descaler along with £250 of Tesco vouchers as winnings from a competition I entered a while ago but had forgotten about.
Needless to say that I am still entering voucher comps and looking forward to my next win and still hoping for the grand prize of a wonderful holiday, but at least most of our shopping for the next month has been paid for already!
