Advent Calendar Competitions

Other

Already i am stressed with all the advent calendar comps. I have entered and saved all day, thought i was up to date an hour ago and now at 11pm a new crop have been posted.

There is no way i can get through them and the magazine comps every day so tomorrow i will be deleting those where the prizes are not very good.

Will you do them all, a few or none at all?

I usually start by entering them all -but soon get bored and end up culling those that dont offer decent prizes often enough! Hopefully this year I will be more disciplined - but then I say that every year!

didbygraham I'm with you. Any other time, and of course then they wouldn't be advent comps, I have time, but as Christmas gets nearer it's nigh on impossible.

I just enter things when I can and only things I am genuinely interested in. No way could I do them all. I have other things to do. I have never won a competition in my life but I keep trying.

JLouM that's sad because until this last year I won fairly regularly. However, I have promised myself that I will stop comping at the end of the year if I don't win anything by then.

JLouM hopefully you get some luck soon then. It is weird, some people seem to win fairly regularly, then others hardly ever (or never in your case) win.

I try my best to do the magazine competitions every day as l usually win a prize every three months 🤞, but this year l am only doing a small amount of advent calendar competitions as l too find it a bit of a chore rather than fun, Good luck to you all for a win 🎁

MelissaLee1 exactly. I have already whittled it down to a few I really like. Be aware the Belfast advent is only for Irish residents.

I tend to enter other competitions first, and then If I have any spare time I hit the Advent ones.

I've done the ones that I've found on fb and Instagram but I'm not stressing about them. I will enter the ones that I'm interested in but won't be stressing over them, got other things to worry about.

The m&s one is AWFUL. It's just voucher codes.

comriegold yes, so is the Ikea one so they shouldn't really be in the competition section but in deals.

My own fault but I am bombarded with so many emails. But this last week I have been unsubscribing from loads of them. Just kept a few favourites. It’s like a declutter and I feel so much better.

eyeballkerry I have been unsubscribing too, but as soon as I unsubscribe I enter more comps where subscribing is mandatory, drives me mad. Why don't they realise that forcing people to subscribe is counter productive.

On here last year I thought someone had started a list of all the companies that had advent calendar on their sites. I have found a few and won a couple of prizes so far.
