"Thank you so much for the £10,000 cheque that I received today. I was about to give up entering competitions due to time restraints but this has proved that you should keep entering as you never know when the 'big one' is just round the corner. I am planning a trip to China next year and also looking forward to doing up my flat. I am absolutely thrilled!"
"I've won a super WeberQ 2000 BBQ with folding trolley from UK Food, just what I was thinking of buying for a friends birthday. I gave it to her yesterday, she was thrilled, isn't comping wonderful when you can spread round the happiness. Thanks for your invaluable information every week, much appreciated, and hope other readers are getting lucky too. All the best!"
"I am just writing to thank you for sending me a copy of Compers News. This was a stroke of genius on your part as I quickly realised on flicking through the newsletter that it is vastly superior to the other comping mazagines I subscribe to and much better value for money too.
I have therefore decided to cancel the other comping subscriptions and subscribe to your newsletter instead. I can't wait to find out what fantastic prizes the next edition of Compers News has to offer - you never know, this might be the start of a winning streak."
"I just wanted to write and tell you how delighted I was to have recently won a CD from a competition I saw in Compers News. The following day I received a DVD, also advertised in your magazine. Thanks for a well laid out, easy-to-follow magazine which makes Comping a real pleasure."
"Just a quick thank you for the Compers Weekly enewsletter, it really spurs me on to keep entering competitions. I started comping about ten months ago and have won many goodies. Keep up the good work and lots of luck to every comper out there!"
Now and again a competition comes along that you feel drawn to. Last year I spotted one like this in Compers News – 'capture a photo of a Big 5 Kumala Wine taxi cab on your mobile and text it in.' I received a telephone call asking if I remembered entering a photo competition, and when the word Kumala was mentioned I felt that I had won the lottery! I had won the only prize of a £2,000 holiday voucher, all thanks to Compers News."
