Hi Eightof 8.
Did you go on the holiday.
I,ve got the same email and was thinking of going for it as well???

Well I had fabulous time deleting the extra junk email I have been having off them. And I never even sent them the £20.
The link posted above is really is true.
This company is basically a server that deals in junk email and £20 contributions from people who are unaware that you are ONLY paying for the delivery of your "booking package".

Here's an exerpt from the link above:-

The catch in the £20 break from European Vacations
By Andrew Penman on November 13, 2008 12:00 AM | 15 Comments

We’ve got answers for readers who’ve asked us about junk mail from European Vacations offering a break in Turkey for £20.

European Vacations has one director, Canadian Allan Diamond, who also runs prize draw junk mail outfit UK Incentives & Promotions.

With no directors in the UK, European Vacations is operated from Twyford, Berks, by Henley Marketing. We asked how holidays could be sold for £20. Because of the extras you have to pay, came the answer. There are seasonal supplements, you pay for your own food and drink, and not all excursions are included.

“It’s all in our booking form which we send out when you send the £20 fee. If you don’t like the look of it you just have to ask for a refund.�?

Why not tell customers the true cost of the holiday before they send any money?

- Further to our story about UK Incentives & Promotions, we’ve had an update from Francis Bentley of Merthyr Tydfil.

We recently told how he sent a £20 claim fee but never got his prize. Finally he’s heard from UK Incentives. But it’s not sent him his prize, or even returned his money.

It’s more junk mail. And UK Incentives want another £20.

“They just don’t know when to quit,�? said Francis.

I think I will be marking thier emails as Intant Delete on reciept.

I got another phone call today about a £99 holiday I had 'won' that would only cost me £99. I asked where it was to and was told Tenerife.

The lady lost interest when I told her my brother lived near Almeria and I coud visit him for less lol.

I had this over the weekend and deleted it, but I must admit I showed it to my hubbue first as it is very, very carefully worded and made me think twice x

I won a trip on that boat in a raffle years ago went with a friend no way value at £800 i think it was about £200 for both of us. It's a car ferry to spain, it was quite good but only cos we just got drunk and sunbathed for 3 days at duty free prices.
