Saw ad on tv earlier for this holiday

http://www.luxuryholidaysdirect.com/

Click on the ad and it opens a box asking you to watch webisodes and answer the question.

Answer = DODO (from the webisodes and confirmed by googling)

The VERY odd thing is there are no T&Cs or closing date. I started a chat with one of the reps. I'll post that below.

transcript of Chat window with there rep:

Hi, I saw your ad on tv earlier. I'd like to enter the Le Touessrok competition. Is there an end date? and what are the terms and conditions?
Nilupa Gunasinhe says:
its end of jan
Nilupa Gunasinhe says:
you can apply on line...offer ends end of jan
Soosie says:
could you send me the terms and conditions too. I'd like to see what is / isn't included. thank you
Nilupa Gunasinhe says:
there arne't any...
Nilupa Gunasinhe says:
you can fill in the box on the internet and you'll be automatically entered for the competition
Soosie says:
sorry, but are you sure? All competitions have them. There's no indication of flights, what the board basis is, any taxes to pay, how many people its for???
Nilupa Gunasinhe says:
we will let you know the terms and conditions if you win....
Soosie says:
that's a bit strange..
Nilupa Gunasinhe says:
its a holiday for 2 .including flight s/hotel/ transfers and its on HB basis...
Nilupa Gunasinhe says:
and airport taxes to be paid

I'll try sending them an email to see if I can get the full T&Cs.
I've searched other Mauritius comps and there are taxes of around £300 pp.
If/when I get a reply I'll bump..

Thanks OP looks a fantastic win...and im new to this also so forgive me for asking the experienced compers - it looks like ill be signing my details away to this site...am i wrong to be concerned of spam at all?

This one is in Game Over HERE as it was due to end 31st Jan - but it tells me that I am already entered into the comp so I believe it may have been extended. Others are reporting the same thing so check your thanks on the old thread if you can't enter via the new posting.

liamell - I haven't noticed any spam from this site and I entered last year. To be honest, entering competitions will always bring a certain amount of spam and inbox clutter. Think of it as a necessary trade-off for all those lovely prizes But if you mean telemarketing etc, then I haven't had anything from this company
