nothing is for nothing,and they want you to part with money,competitions winners do not have to part with cash,use your gut feeling and mine is step back.
The rules
1 never part with cash for a promise
2 did you enter this competition
3 will you enter into contract
4 who are these people
5 did you approach them
never ,ever,ever.,ever give them money[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]To be happy you need to make someone happy.[/FONT]0 -

what was the competition you entered?0 -
Yes i entered through My offers, i know you get nothing for nothing.
It does say that you can take a weeks holiday then if you like them you pay the annual fee if not you just walk away.0 -
loads of threads on this before. if you can afford the fee and the flights etc to all the fancy places then go for it as the resorts are fantastic. theres a few places in the uk as well you can use at certain times.june1970 wrote:through seasons worth £2950, i have read all the paper work that they have sent me and it states that i can take a one week holiday then if i dont want to join i do not have to pay anything but if i like it all i have to pay is the annual fee of £322.

Ive had this before but the free week wouldnt coincide with school hols so couldnt take it up.
Those that are members love it those like me cant afford it so gave it up as a pipe dreamThose we love don't go away,They walk beside us every day,Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear
Our thoughts are ever with you,Though you have passed away.And those who loved you dearly,
Are thinking of you today.0 -
Well done but please be careful with a win like this,Do not hand over any money.

I think june 1970 that is a wise thing to do,you hear so many stories
of "wins" like this,most have so many strings attached.
I got a phone call from some male one evening[cold calling]Congratulations
he said in an excited voice,you have won a fortnight on Necker Island,I said
as I`m in a good mood you can go instead of me ,and hung up.0 -
I was invited to a Seasons precentation in Bude a few years ago. On offer was week's timeshare for about £12,000. Annual maintenance fees were extra. For attending I was offered a 'free' holidayat home or abroad. I chose at home and had to choose 3 dates for each of the next two years to take my holiday. Also had to £90 admin fee up front.
Two years passed and still no holiday so they asked me for more dates. I stuck it out and was rewarded with a holiday in Wales, out of season. Despite being out of season, the 'timeshare' resort was full so I got a shed in the woods - honest. Well, to be fair, it was a rather nice log cabin with a sauna and a thirsty coin operated electricity meter. We enjoyed some walks in the mud and left for home 3 days into a 7 day break. Still, the Welsh were nice people.

I wouldnt bother as the cost of the service charge is a rip off and you can always get quite a lot for £322. Plus they always put up the service charge each year and it is difficult to get rid of the timeshare - you are liable for this as it is in your name. Often they will not let you even GIVE the thing back.Veteran Bargain Hunter -
