Best Magazine and Forum Ever

I love Compers News, and have just seen on my profile that I have been a subscriber now for over 10 years. The magazine is full of competitions and there is a digital version available online about a week in advance of the one arriving through your letterbox. The Chatterbox forum is also a wonderful community, with lots of inspiration and support and new competitions. I would definitely recommend a subscription, for yourself or as a great gift. Comping is the best hobby ever and I wouldn't be without my Compers News!

Compers News is the best

I have always enjoyed entering competitions so when I discovered Compers News I immediately took out a subscription - it ranks as one of my best decisions. I've been a member now of this great community for well over 10 years, as an older subscriber I would never have heard of or seen many of the competitions listed. Most importantly they list start and closing dates, purchase needed and what I could win!
This publication has totally enriched my life and that of my family. Some of the many prizes I have won include cash, numerous store and supermarket gift cards, garden equipment, a KitchenAid mixer, washing machine, weekends away and best of all a brand new car.

This is a great magazine for anyone who…

This is a great magazine for anyone who likes to enter competitions. It is very comprehensive. There are 47 pages of interesting articles including in-house puzzles to solve and pages of all the different types of competitions to enter including some for children.
It saves an awful lot of leg work too as someone always knows which store or supermarket an item can be found when you have to purchase an item to enter.
Invaluable.

If only it arrived a little earlier...

I love receiving my Compers News each month and it is definitely the best place for purchase competitions. The listings are clear and easy to read and the stories are inspirational in the lean times. The tips are also really helpful!
The only thing preventing me from giving it 5 stars is the timing of it arriving here in Scotland. Often I only have a day or two to enter end of the month comps from the paper copy. I do use the digital mag sometimes but I like to comp in my lunch break and we have no public wifi at work so it isn't an option there.

Love Compers News

Love Compers News! It has enabled me to visit New York with my family courtesy of a fantastic win. The prizes I have won in the three years I have been subscribed are fantastic. Would recommend subscribing without a doubt!

Money back guarantee from one who knows.

Want to win some fabulous prizes?
Take out a subscription to Compers News. Gives you access to loads of brilliant competitions, in-house competitions and the Chatterbox forum open to subscribers only.
No need to buy every magazine in the Newsagents - get access to answers on the Chatterbox forum. This on-line forum is like the Compers news magazine - run by compers for compers who really want to win wonderful prizes. I know, because I have been lucky entering competitions from there over the last 10 years minimum. Over the last two years I went to Orlando, Paris, Warsaw, London and had a lovely week in Yorkshire and it didn't cost me a penny- all from competitions from Compers news and Chatterbox.
Previously have won TV's, Dishwasher, Fridge, Freezer, groceries galore and many prizes money can't buy.
Don't delay, you will get your subscription price back ten-fold with wins advertised in Compers News or the Chatterbox forum.

Join Us - You Don't Know What You're Missing

For anyone who wants to be a serious comper and for those thinking of taking up this fun hoppy, then Compers News is an absolute must! I've been a member since 2006, have won quite a few very nice prizes and made some good, like-minded friends along the way. With Compers News you'll find details of competitions you would certainly miss and you'll be given clear details of how to make your entries. The online forum, Chatterbox, is super friendly and generous with sharing valuable info. The staff at CN are fab. Forgot to say I've won some great short-break holidays, a car (yes, a car), plenty of 'white goods' and a celebrity cooking break in Belfast. Five stars *****

Compers News

Compers News, where the winners meet.
I first subscribed to Compers News in 2007 and I am still a subscriber today. In the early days, it was Compers News that taught me what 'comping' is all about and how to get the best chance of winning prizes. The comping world has changed along side technology and the way promoters advertise their products. Compers News has kept me up to date with everything that I need to know. Importantly, I trust Compers News. If a competition is listed in their publication I know it is genuine and it is not going to generate a lot of spam. Some comps are just not worth entering because of the spam they generate or the chances of winning are very low. Compers News compiles the competition list and this saves me a lot of time, and hassle of seeking out and checking comps myself.
With Compers News I have won many prizes, concert tickets, TV's, Bikes, money, food hampers, crafting kits, toys, books, weekend breaks. I whole heartily recommend Compers News. It is a professional publication, reliable, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. The online forum is a supportive caring community. Give Compers News a try, it has connected me to the comping community and given me much enjoyment, fun and many prizes. Well worth the money. My subscription has always been offset by the prizes I have won and continue to win.

Highly recommended

I have been a subscriber for 12 years. I try to enter as many competitions as possible from the magazine, as it certainly is worthwhile. The online Chatterbox forum is a wonderful comping community for new competitions, advice and information. This is only available to magazine subscribers.

I have been a member of Compers News for 10 years

I was previously a member of Dot Comper. I visit the site numerous times a day to ensure that I am as up to date with comps as I can be (an impossible task). The site is full of new competitions posted on a daily basis. I live in Scotland and whilst there are many shops with purchase necessary comps that I cant enter I really don't feel disadvantaged as the site is packed full of competitions that I can (and do) enter. All in all I love the site and the professional way it is administered. I wouldn't be an active member for so long if I didn't.

5* All The Way

I love this magazine, the associated website and that you can access competition detail at any hour.

There's a lovely welcoming community too should you wish to participate, chances to win competitions as set by other compers and plenty of helpful advice. There is lots of "fresh from the starting blocks" info and up to the minute articles about problem solving, technical stuff to do with social media and a decent crowd behind the scenes keeping everything live.

I wouldn't be without Compers News.

I have been a member since it began and always look forward to receiving the magazine and read the Chatterbox messages daily.
Its different to Competitors Companion and Prize Draw Winner but is excellent in its own way with plenty of competitions with advice and information.

Won 39 holidays, 3 cruises and spa weekends etc plus many other prizes including £2 & 1/2 K diamonds of my choice, also many computers, tvs, white goods, shopping vouchers and cheques etc this magazine gives value for money and I always recommend it.

Chatterbox is very friendly and helpful too.

Excellent Magazine

I have subscribed to Compers News for a number of years and still feel excited when postie delivers it. Chatterbox is the best with useful information and sharing. I read it all every month and attempt the puzzles and love reading about all the wins

Save Your Money

If you don't live near a Waitrose or a branch of Waterstones, if you possess a television & you can use a search engine then this publication is NOT for you. The magazine has been going downhill for years & it isn't a patch on the former Prize Draw Winner & Competitors Companion. Save your money.

Reply from Compers News

Hello Michael,

Sorry to hear you have had a negative impression of our beloved Compers News.

It is true that the type of competitions run by promoters has changed a lot since the days of Competitor’s Companion and Prize Draw Winner, but the editorial team has remained pretty much the same and we actually publish a lot more competitions these days, to cater for all tastes.

Whilst many of the competitions are in the public domain, our team of researchers spend all month researching competitions by purchasing products and magazines so you don’t need to buy them. Our Editor spends his time carefully curating all the competitions included within the magazine to give our subscribers the best chance of winning.

All the best,
Compers News

Great magazine for compers

Great magazine for compers. Have subscribed for about 2 years. Before that I relied on free competition forms such as MSE and won few competitions. Since subscribing I have won a lot more competitions and really like the online Chatterbox area where people discuss competitions and what they have won. I also like that you still get a paper copy through the post as well as being able to view online

Brilliant Comping Mag

I have been a member for more than 10 years and have won all kinds of wonderful prizes from small to big. Many household items including a washing machine and UK breaks and holidays - wouldn’t consider any other magazine. Stuffed full with new comps, in-house comps, comping info and more, it is well worth the subscription.
As a member you can also access the online forum Chatterbox which is invaluable as members post new comps all the time and we share news and views. You can also access the digital copy of Compers News a few days before the hard copy drops through your letterbox. A no brainer really!

Just love it .... every month

Been a member of Compers News for a lot of years now - Its a great way of reaching many competitions. Over the years I have won, TVs, DVD players, a new kitchen, and a lot more to mention - its packed with new competitions each week. Also being a member gives me access to Chatterbox, a competition forum full of wonderful people who like me love entering competitions and who are full of advice and fun....

Best Competition Magazine Ever

I have been a Compers News member for many years and it has brought me some lovely wins including home makeover, holidays, flights, TVs, cash, vouchers etc etc. Subscribing to the magazine gives access to Chatterbox forum where members post new competitions before most people know about them, which gives you a great advantage in getting in an early entry.
