    Fingers crossed you hear something soon (I'm going blue holding me breath ha ha). I reapplied last week after being told to "just in case".

    I wouldn't mind but I've just looked at Ryanair's sale flights and I'm tempted to just book with them but I refuse to let Jet2 get away with not giving people the prizes that we won fair and square - I think that's their ploy now - hoping people will just give up and not use the flights (which is what I did the time before last - the Leeds Bradford one comp - got so fed up trying to get a response that I never used the free flight). Not this time though ........................ ha ha

    Thought I'd take this advice and re-applied (just in case) - they came back to me a couple of hours later to say they couldn't progress the application as I had mistyped the 'Friends' unique reference number! So have re-applied again.
  • I might re-apply a few more times today, just to confuse matters! ha

    They do seem to be taking a long time to process the requests! Was much quicker last year! They don't seem to get that people need to get other stuff organised too like hotels etc. They've only had 1200 requests apparently too, surely they should have been prepared for more than that anyway :confused:

    maybe they are taking longer to reply this week because they are actually looking at requests ( i hope). i put mine and my bf in last thurs and had no reply , yet before that i had 2 refusals. i stopped looking was spending far too much time on this competition. hope someone hears soon

    They are taking note of checking winners who applied for their flights before the change to use the old dates on the ts and cs to make it fair. If your flights are rejected it is likely to be due to availability.
    With the dates for the ts and cs they have only changed marginally (a matter of about 5-6 days) for departure airports in England and as we reserve the right to change the ts and cs to our discretion you will have to choose alternative dates outside of the block out periods if your flights are rejected or try some different destinations.


    Why are they telling us different things?
    She's almost just told me to that the chances of getting the destinations/dates I want are very small. I should have been able to book on the first date, so had first choice, but because of the hotmail probs I had to wait until last weekend. Total farce!

    I've had 2 emaiils off them today (they're like buses!) ackowledging receipt of my request which I resent last week (but nothing about my first request on 4th :mad:) and that it will be processed soon (?) - here's hoping (but gone are my dreams of going to Turkey in May cos of the change in blackout dates boo hoo) but free flights are free flights, aren't they?
