    Ms Bubu, I have been playing these cards fot a while and not noticed anything about a time limit. Was there an expiry date on your card? The only mention of 28 days on mine has been when to expect a claim number via email.[/QUOTE]

    Yes it says so on the card. The closing date is right after "RULES" on the card's T&Cs. I also noticed that before, but I only discovered the post too late...

  • Got another £10 cheque off them and three of their new style scratchcards - less chance of winning a prize, now only 1 in 5 cards win, rest get a 'gift'.

    ^^ Yes not so keen on those gamecards. Shant bother trying for the Boys prize since the gift is a holiday voucher. But I have put in for the Girls, gift for that is designer perfume.

    Have just received the 'you have won a tenner - please send a stamp and confirm your details with us' letter - took a month to get it. Have posted it today and will await my cheque with interest...

    I got the confirmation letter asking me to double check my name blah blah...

    If I still put my initial and last name, will it work? My name on my bank card is like that, along with my second last name, but I don't want to tell them that...

    Have got a new list for Girls and Boys names cards. Not many qualify for a prize, as I thought most will be for the "gift". PM me if you've a name you'd like me to check :)

    Got my claim info back about a prize- instead of the advertised "Ladies diamond watch and pendant set", I have been offered a Ladies watch or Gents watch.

    Will only take one more stamp so will see what tat I end up with!

    I forgot to come back, but I have received my cheque 2 weeks ago. So it took about 4 months... But I'm not complaining!

    I got my £10 cheque - it took maybe 2 months so not so bad. They sent me the Turkey holiday deal which I also sent off but did not get any response on that one again.

    I would definitely play again!

    This company is a con. Do not enter their competitions. They also have other companies connected to them, Strike Lucky Games and Mcyintyre and Dodd Ltd. They were all taken to court including Purely Creative. They have appealed but the hearing and trial continues.
