I won a holiday from Big Prize Draw!

I just had a call from Big Prize Draw saying I haven't won their trip to New York, but have got a runners up prize of 4 return flights to Europe & 7 nights.

The travel operator is CLC, which I think is Club la Costa.

Sounds great, but is there a catch?

    If they start telling you about how you have to pay 'service charges' for your 'win' and you have to answer questions like 'are you in a relationship', 'are you a homeowner' and 'do you earn more than £25000 a year jointly' then yes, I'm afraid, it's the usual CLC tactics.

    There are lots of threads on this site about CLC,

    to name but a few.

    I hope you win a genuine holiday soon, best of luck. :)

    I was really "lucky" and won a holiday last week too - needed to go to Basingstoke for a 2+ hour presentation for that one (I didn't).
