    No I specifically told them that I was an existing member & asked if it was only for new members

    I've emailed them to ask why my welcome email didn't confirm entry to the competition.

    I haven't had a confirmation email either, I've sent them this message

    Hello,

    I have tried to enter your prize draw for the Spice Island Beach Resort in Grenada Holiday but I don't seem to be able to, I am an existing member, is this only open to new members?


    I will let you know if I get an answer.

    I emailed them again to doubly check my entry had been received because I haven't received a confirmation email either although I entered 4 days ago & this is the reply so we can safely assume that all entries are in fact being received:

    Dear Liz Denial

    Thank you for your email.

    I’m pleased to learn that you have entered our wonderful competition.

    I can assure you that your entry has been received.

    We are working on improving our competition entry page to include a Thank you for entering page or either an email to confirm entry. This is currently still being worked on by our web team.


    Kind Regards

    If you are an existing customer you can only enter this competition via the refer-a-friend system as per the email response below

    Thank you for your email and I apologise for the difficulties you encountered with our Grenada competition online.

    An existing customer would only be entered for the competition that was running at the time they registered on the website (and this would have been done automatically upon registration) so if you registered during our current campaign then you will be entered.

    If you registered during a different competition campaign then you can still enter via our refer-a-friend system. On our weekly emails there will be a banner at the bottom for the competition; clicking on this link will take you to a form on our website that you can use to refer your friends to The White Company and each referral will grant you an additional entry into the competition, so the more referrals you make the more chances of winning you’ll have.

    I do hope that this will assist you, and should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me again.

    Kind regards,

    Georgina Hetherington

    Hmm I got a completely different reply to Tishie so obviously their customer services team don't know what they're doing as they confirmed I'd been entered even though I didn't refer a friend
