I have been comping since May 2010 so not long in comparison to many. I've had a few small wins - a pair of swimming gogles, a night's stay in a lovely London hotel, but then I had to stop due to family commitments. On Friday 13th January, I decided I would enter some comps as I don't like going out on Friday 13th (bad things usually happen to me). I entered a comp to win an Appliance of my Dreams, got a phone call in a matter of hours saying I had won just that. A £900 Samsung American Fridge Freezer. 13 is now my lucky number. Thank you ALL at www.theprizefinder.com for posting this competition. I stroke it everyday :-)

My Dream Kitchen
Tuesday, January 10, 2012
I have been comping for about 2 years now. My lovely friend got me into it and after my first win I was hooked. Since then I have entered more and more comps (thanks to the help of ThePrizeFinder). I have had quite a few wins including t4 tickets, 7 nights all inclusive to Egypt, a wonderful day with Coast at The Savoy and a magazine make over. But imagine my surprise when just a few days before Xmas I received a call from the Telegraph telling me I had won a £20,000 Wickes kitchen! Thank you ThePrizeFinder for helping me find the comp. I still can't quite believe it even though we are now busy planning our dream kitchen. I didn't think for a moment that I had a chance of winning but it just goes to show that will a little effort and a lot of luck it can be done.
27 guide books worth over £300
Monday, January 9, 2012
2011 was my best year for prize winning thanks to The Prizefinder. I have been unwell this year and spend a lot of time laid up in bed so I have lots of free time for comping. It gives me something to do on the long, boring days. One of my best wins last year was a prize of 27 Hg2 books worth over £300. They are beautifully bound and really informative holiday guide books. I won the prize from the National Geographic website. Now I just need to win some holidays so that I can use them or persuade my other half to treat me to a trip. Which do you think would be more likely to happen?
Michael's decade of comping pays off!
Saturday, January 7, 2012
I started doing the odd competition about 10 years ago and got lucky pretty early on with a 2 week sailing holiday around the Canary islands. Since then I've entered more and won more. Since joining ThePrizeFinder I've won a laptop, an Xbox, tickets to festivals, 100 lottery tickets, £1000 to spend at Bosch, a weekend in Amsterdam. I would love to win another holiday - who wouldn't right? Good luck to everyone as long as you don't win the prizes I want!
Amazing! Thanks to Di

I posted about my win to Cannes a few weeks ago (18/12/2011) and in that post I said I was going to attempt a recipe comp. I also said Twitter, Facebook and recipe comps are alien territory for me even though I have been comping for years. Thanks to Di Coke's informative Prizefinder blog I entered 3 recipe comps sending in pictures and basic recipe ideas. Well today I won a Waitrose afternoon cookery school for 2 and an overnight stay in London! I had to do a recipe, choose a red or white wine to go with the dish and complete a 20 word tie-breaker. Winning one out of three is pretty amazing and I then had a call to say I have won a luxury hamper from a postcard comp. This week I also won a Red Letter Jewellery making day for two with Marie Claire. What a start to 2012! Happy comping everyone.
A new sofa!
Monday, January 2, 2012
I started comping with ThePrizeFinder in May last year as I needed a new TV and couldn't afford one, so I thought I would try and win one! I soon saw how many competitions there were and started entering lots for all different prizes. To my great surprise, after about 1 month I heard that I had won £2000 to spend at sofa.com. I couldnt believe it and I am over the moon with my new sofa. It is the only win I have had, but I am still trying for that new TV! Happy comping!
Advent Calendar Success!
Saturday, December 31, 2011
I have been a member of The Prize Finder for several years, with a good success rate.
However previously I have not found the time to enter the Advent Calendar Comps and after seeing such a large number listed I decided on a whim that I would enter them this year, and I have been absolutely thrilled with the results. Firstly I have won an amazing 7 night holiday for 2 to Phuket in Thailand in the Dial-a-Flight Advent Calendar on Day 2, and we are hoping to take this in February.
Next came a £50 voucher in the Lidl 'Through the Christmas Keyhole' competition on Day 5, a "Never Mind the Botox" novel and finally £100 worth of Duplo.
I would not have known about any of these competitions if it wasn’t for ThePrizeFinder and it obviously pays dividends to enter early before most compers have discovered them.
Keep up the good work ThePrizeFinder and thank you!I've won over £1,000 worth of stuff!

I have only been 'comping' since August and have won over a £1000 worth of stuff! I have won small things such as fake tan to hampers of chocolate, condiments, a portable DVD player, a bose docking station, lots of vouchers and an iPod Touch! I am truly addicted to comping now and love it when I win! Plus my son had the best christmas ever this year!
Cannes on the Red Carpet
Saturday, December 17, 2011
I have been entering competitions for many years and have used a few different sites. I am finding the new layout at ThePrizefinder really usefull, the skill-based competitions are all together which is great. As for prizes, I went to Cannes in October for 5 days with £500 spending money. This was a win from a radio station in the Horrible Bosses competition. I won an iPhone4 from a daily comp, pottery from a blog, and a photobook for a review. That`s since September. In the last three years I have won a VIP trip to Wimbledon, bikes x 5, £1000 vouchers from the local shopping centre, VIP trip to Jools Holland, numerous theatre tickets, a camera, £100 Matches voucher and a family Merlin card. Also lots of small prizes like books and CDs.
I am now trying to venture into the world of twitter and facebook competitions and this is alien territory for me. I am being guided by the Superlucky Di advice and hope to even try a Receipe comp. Comping is a great hobby and as I like photography and writing it gives me somewhere to channel those photos.2 wins in 3 weeks
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
I decided around 3 weeks ago that I would enter competitions as I have been unwell and had nothing to do. I entered so many I forgot what I entered. On Saturday, I got a parcel from Mars saying I won their prize - a jumper and drink. Today I got a call saying I won a Olly Murs CD. Now I can't wait to check the mail as I could win more! Thanks theprizefinder.
