Does Anyone Actually Win Anything??
Other
Been on here for months for months do the competitions daily and never hear back from anyone do anyone actually here back from any or actually win anything???
Emerge11 I would be interested to know how many you mean by several. If you mean 3 or 4 a week there is very little chance of winning anything. I enter about 150 a day and the most I have won in a month is 3. It used to be at least one every month or two but as in my previous comment haven't won anything for about a year.
I have won some child paints and a big bag of dog biscuits, none of the life changing prizes but useful nevertheless. Like the lottery.... You'll never win if you never enter
AmimarieBurgess we also have a thread about this on chat already if you want to have a look and add a comment and you can find it here >> www.latestdeals.co.uk/chat/freebie-competition-news-part-2
Thank you
emmabeckz and AmimarieBurgess there are absolutely loads of chats on this subject. If you type Competitions into the search box I believe there are about 10 pages but not all the same.
I use to enter competitions daily and win occasionally but I don't have the time anymore. I've never won on twitter or Instagram but I have on Facebook and websites. I think it's a case of entering as many as possible everyday!
Midnightflower I have definitely given up on instagram and don't do facebook. I have seen the same person win at least 4/5 times on instagram just this year but I have been doing them for about 18 months and not won a thing!
Lynibis I couldn't work out how to use Instagram Facebook I won a few times but its alot of effort as you have to check back on them just incase you win. I've been surprised by how many companies now host competitions on Instagram exclusively.
I have time and would like to do more but there are so many scams this way I find it hard to trust them that they are genuine. I don’t always find it easy to check this either so I don’t do many.
I won a competition from the Latest Deals ‘Arts and Craft’s’ Facebook group. It wasn’t a huge prize but it’s still a buzz to win something.
I used to win anywhere from 2-12 competitions a month.
It's probably more 3 competitions a month on average now.
But I did win 9 last month - smallest last month was worth £1.75 but largest was £69.99 so not huge prizes but makes a difference.
Biggest wins I've probably won was a TV, a £350 holiday and a £350 console bundle.
More people are entering these days, so prizes aren't as easy as they once were, even just before Covid hit. I don't just use this site for competitions, but if you use multiple, you need to make sure you don't re-enter some competitions as you could disqualify yourself.
I prefer smaller prizes I can gift or use, I don't enter for holidays too far from home or spa breaks.
I've won just under £800 this year so far.
From Latest Deals the company, I've won on their Facebook craft group fairly recently.
I prefer not to hear back from comps I have entered unless I win. It is disappointing to receive an email saying 'sorry you didn't win this time but here is 10% off your next purchase' which of course is a clever marketing ploy.
However, I have won many comps over the years some brilliant, some useful and others great for gifts. Having said that I am going through a dry spell and haven't won anything for about a year.
Not won anything for years but the way i see it you’ve got to be in it to win it. I know people who have won good stuff
Ive not won anything for about 6 months, but then I had a few months break so wasnt expecting much. Have increased my entries a bit now so currently entering about 800 a week in daily draws. When I last ran this regime I reckon I was on about 3 - 4 decent prizes each year. Like others I am less convinced about Instagram, but I am giving it a go for a while to see what happens. At the end of the day you have to be in it to win it! My wife has very fond memories of a holiday of a life time to Costa Rica five years ago so it was all worth it!
didbygraham do let us know if you have any Instagram success.....I am losing faith in the fairness of them. All that multiple entries, sharing and saving. I now only enter those who say tag one friend, like and follow.
I have never won anything from any of the competitions on here. But I have won competitions in the past from other sites.
eyeballkerry I think too many people are entering competitions for fun only and not playing attention to the prizes given.
jam45 I think you are right. I will only enter a competition if I am actually interested in the prize. Many people hope to win and then sell the prize.
I never really bother with the competitions I just think it’s just giving up your personal details
SaveMeSunday Often it is just your first name and email address, if you win then it is usually only your address they need. You can always set up a different email address, if anything happens you can ditch it.
I don't tend to enter the ones that ask for your phone number, I don't want loads of spam messages or calls or my number to be passed on, even though I try and make sure it is a genuine company. But worst case scenario, I could always change my number.
But then I can have spurts of time (for health reasons) when I can't do much, so entering competitions makes me feel like I am doing something and the items I enter for can make a huge difference in my life. Plus I enjoy doing it and have met some lovely people through it.
My wins seem to come in waves, nothing for a month or two, then I'll win two or three in a week.
Lately I seem to be doing well with Aquatic themed competitions; I've won a swimming changing robe and a wild swimming wetsuit.
I have had a lot of success over the years , some really nice prizes but i am experiencing the same dry spell as others are at the moment
More and more competitions are going over to Instagram now , and despite entering a hundred to two hundred competitions per week , including instagram, it is the only media i have never won anything on , having had successes on both facebook and twitter , one smart phone on each 2 and 4 years ago
Saying that i did win a glass tankard yesterday in the hobgoblin daily contest, they say it is on the way
But i will carry on regardless
I do play and have won some giftcards and away from the site I have won items from money to meals . I would totally say AmimarieBurgess the immortal line of you have to be in it to win it .
I win often, tv was the best thing, coats watches perfume a bike, can be very quiet for a year then I get a few wins in a row
I've won loads of stuff over the years. The more comps you enter the more chance you have of winning. I don't just enter comps on here but on a few different platforms as it ups my chances.
I've been on here for ages play daily lots of competitions and won nothing not even anything small
As for other posts about this am sure other people have posted about this to but that's their thread this is mine I thought I would ask as well
I just wondered if it was worth carrying on or not...
Thanks for those who actually answered the question I asked and gave advice..
AmimarieBurgess it seems as if you have taken offence where none was intended. I don't know when this subject was last posted but just in case you have not read the guidelines they can be found here. www.latestdeals.co.uk/chat-guidelines
According to your profile this is your first topic and hopefully you will post more from now on. For the most part we are a polite and friendly gang and love to see new and fresh ideas.
I've never actually won anything. I gave up doing the lottery a few weeks ago, after doing it since 1994.
I won an Air Fryer in A Sun comp about a month ago, a huge box turned up about 2 weeks later with two compartments, there was an Air Fryer in each one! x
Years ago I won a few competitions!!
These days not so much and I hardly get any samples
Guessing too many people nowadays applying for freebies
My highest value prize was £500 worth of premixed cocktails. I gave lots away and I’m work my way through the remainder, delicious chilled.
I sadly do the competitions everyday, it takes me one hour and l win a prize roughly every three months....
Never won out on here but yesterday I won a prize from a local well known shop for just adding 3 friends sharing and liking the page
