edited 22 April 2009 at 3:30PM in I won! I won! I won!
I had a winner's text on Saturday from the Jaffa Cakes text comp here posted by princess pixiedust saying someone would be in contact in 2 working days..........its 3 days later and I've heard nothing. I can't find a number to call for the promotion and really want to know if I have won. I tried emailing Virgin Experience Days to ask if they knew anything but haven't had a reply :cool:

Any ideas as I'd love to know if I can start whooping for joy :jor not ;) Don't think I've seen any other winners for this comp but I could be wrong - wouldn't be the first time :rotfl:

UPDATE - finally got confirmation today and should get the vouchers in a week. Just in time for my birthday :j
So big thanks to princess pixiedust for the OP and everyone that helped me - you're all stars :T

    Well done :j:j

    I won from a text comp last week (different company) and the text said I would be contacted within 7 days. I hadn't, so I called the company concerned and they told me that there were a few winners that hadn't been contacted by the promoter. They took my name and number and I had the call this morning. So I'd give the company or the promoter a call just to let them know that you're still waiting.
    :beer:Thank you to all posters:beer:

    Just checked my jaffa packet and the promoter is united biscuits, Hayes, Middlesex and as rosegarden says perhaps a call to them may chase things along a bit for you.

    Thanks guys :) I ended up googling a number for UB as there was nothing on the website and ended up going through to Consumer Services where a nice woman took all my details and I have her name and number just in case. So fingers crossed I get to hear soon!

    The woman at UB called back and its gone to the correct dept now - but their contact is on holiday........so waiting to hear something. Probably next week though. Kinda frustrating!

    Thanks very much for the number blackmidnight. I'll give them a try :)
