question about winning holidays

Options
hi at the moment I do not enter family holiday comps that state two adults and two children under 11 as mine are 12 and 14 however if I were lucky enough to win do you think they would let us pay a difference in cost?

    I'm afraid I can't help, but I have 2 children (one 11 this year and the other 8 this year).

    I have won 2 holidays so far and I think both times, they were for 4 people and no ages were specified, but I have often wondered what would happen if the children were over 12.

    Hope someone can answer this for us!

    I won a family holiday to a ranch at the Grand Canyon, it was for 2 adults and 2 children. I have one 16 year old, they are letting us take him as one adult instead of 2 children. They have also been very flexible with the arrangements, they are letting us spend a few nights in Vegas instead of the whole week at the ranch. It cost less to do this so they have even thrown in a helicopter trip over the Canyon too.

    I get the impession that they set a budget and within reason you can change things and even pay extra yourself if necessary. I enter all of the holiday comps.

    I'd agree with Surfermom
    I won a trip to NY that included breakfasts & $1000 in SAKS vouchers.I gave these up & we took our daughter.When I won a trip to Vancouver I just paid our daughters airfare.By picking flights/hotels ourselves we ensured that there were no other costs.
    Both promotors were flexible & helpful.

    Brilliant, I may as well enter them rather then ignore.

    Thanks ladies!!
