    Ahhhh the sky mag. I strip the letter with the address from the packet, shred that and the rest goes in the recycling bin. It's utter crap, full of ads and general rubbish, and apparently I have no choice whether I receive it or not. I bet there are a lot of people who do the same.

    I've never and will never call a number to see what I've won; I've won or I haven't and if you need to pay for it, it will cost less than the call thats a fact. Sad state of affairs all this junk mail these days.

    Ah, now that's a common mistake.

    The reason you get the Sky Magazine is that you pay for it if you have Sky. It's part of your contract and it costs you around 1p a year and you have no choice over it if you want Sky. But this allows two things:

    1 Sky gets to claim they have the biggest circulation of any TV guide as technically, you do pay for it. Right - you don't care ... But advertisers do, and Sky do.

    2 Sky uses the magazine as the primary way in which they talk to customers. It is the first place that price rises, package changes and special offers are published, without exception.

    Now it is a pile of poo as a listings mag, and actually makes you appreciate the menu on the box, and I would rather that all that paper was not wasted on it. But you should look through it. If there are ever offers, you may miss them and you are warned in advance of price rises, so you don't have to wait until you get your bill.

    i got those letters too
    Trophies are like Buses, you wait 26 years.
    Then 3 come along at once!!!!
  • Great idea about the claim info website op, but wouldnt this run up a gigantic phone bill for you and cost users nothing at your expense?

    Just concerned as I learnt the hard way many years ago on these ticket things and othre similar scams!

    Sorry to sound boring dont mean to put you off the idea just save you precious money after all this is FREE MSE.

    Thanks

    Or a Holiday in Spain.

    It's usually the holiday you get, as their normally for 1 person you you end up paying for one or more tickets for other to join you.

    Or it will be a free holiday AFTER you buy a £2k holiday through X company.

  • I also love the idea of the site, but i am too worried that you'll end up out of pocket. I don't think that anyone ever wins the big prizes i think its all scam for them to make money!
