I have been entering competitions through various methods for over a year now, and I certainly do reap the rewards. I have won by Text competitions, and also Online by simply filling in my name and email and answer to a question.

When I first started, I didn't believe that I would actually be a winner! I thought that the odds were so slim if 500+ enter a competition then what chance have I got, but one day I had a knock at the door and it was the postman with a package for me, I started to get really excited and I opened it to find a whole set of hair products from the top of the range stylists such as: Label M and Bumble and Bumble. That was the start of many more to come...Attached is a pic of me with my folder for the £100 Walkers cheque I won back in April with their promotion.

I have recently won around £800 in total including Gift Vouchers and a lovely Pandora bracelet complete with charms! Any of you out there interested in comping but don't know where to start then log onto www.loquax.co.uk. . I am living proof that entering competitions online really does pay off!

It was a great surprise to win all these prizes as I am a newcomer to comping. I decided to do competitions in my spare time when not in University. Since I can't find a job, it helps to fill in my spare time and is also extremely profitable especially if you are lucky enough to win!
