    The wording is slightly suspicious "eligble to claim". Are you able to post up the headers (omit your email address of course).

    Edit: Not when you read the whole email, congrats.

    Read the t&c's. Do you have to spend loads to take off the £1000 or can this pay for your full holiday? If the latter, then you're in there.
