    My best one was 5 nights for two adults and one child at the Westin,Times Square,New York.They even included a Central Park buggy ride and a meal at The Tavern On The Green.The promotor couldn't get the vouchers sorted in time for these so gave cash instead:D
    The prize originally had $1000 dollars to spend in SAKS and breakfasts included but the promotor allowed us to give these up and take our daughter instead.Just shows that at times the terms and conditions are open to movement.
    I even managed to change the hotel allocation as the one that was offered was not really child friendly.

    That's really reassuring to know. I'v often wondered when entering all these holiday comps if I'd be able to blag my daughter on it too!! :rotfl:

    She's only little and in a travelcot, so I figure I'll enter anyway and if I'm lucky enough to win a biggie, I can only ask and offer to pay a supplement!!

    Hope you have a great time in NY - That's on my list of places I'd love to visit.

    No major biggies for me but my best win was probably £500 of Mina Clothes won through the Daily Mail at the beginning of the year. Their dresses are fabulous and average price are approx £60-£70 per dress. So now I have quite a few in my wardrobe and I love the opportunity to wear them makes me feel fab :beer:

    The promotor was really helpful if a little absent minded at getting it all organised.We actually went on the trip last October.It really was a holiday to remember and gave me the comping bug big time.

    Mt biggest won was my first! I won a gibson flying V guitar worth about £750, but this one's signed by McFly - so dunno what that makes it worth!

    Although my best prize I think was tickets to a special 1 off magic show for Sigfried and Roy - we had a private box and people from Amazon (who ran the comp) were there to buy us snacks and beers and, then I got to go to the star studded after party. Definatly a night to rememeber - no idea what the cash value would be though!
