Purely Creative win..should I bother?

lisaanssari

thanks for the info. I'm so confused as the more reearch I do, the more verying reviews I come across for Purely Creative (mainly because of the premium rate number people ring to claim), although a few people have gone on holidays with them without any problems.. I'm not sure. I'll wait for the guy to phone again (he said he'd phone me back when he was able to book for next year) v.confused!!!:(

Hullo. Purelly creative is a con. You should never do the holiday "wins" in my opinion. Only worth claiming the tenner prizes, and NEVER phone or text. Communicate via email and post. Hth.

Thanks everyone. After a lot of thought (and research) and getting opinions from you all I have decided to forget about the 'free holiday'. I've read so many negative things about Purely Creative. Also, it would probably work out cheaper to get a package deal by the time I take into account, flights, insurance, transfers, food etc...! I'll keep getting the tenners though (Obviously through postal claims and not by phoning the premium rate telephone number). Thanks again :O)

I've recently 'won' a SPA day for two. You have to jump through so many hoops, even after I got through the vouchers I have to register with another company on line then give them a selection of 4 dates I would consider, 1 being during the week, all to go to a spa in a hotel which to be frank looked rather uninspiring. I get to stay in hotels all the time with work and I get to use their 'spa' facilities which is usually a chlorinated pool, a chlorinated spa pool, a chlorinated steam room and sauna.....no excitement there. There were no 'treatments' offered and I have to pay £5 per person - refundable.

To be honest, it all sounds like too much of a pain for not a lot of win. I would suggest by the time you have paid for your flights and transfers etc, you could have probably got the holiday cheaper online and at least had a choice of resort. Hotels are the cheapest part of any holiday and flights the most expensive. It is a personal choice but I don't believe it will be a wonderful holiday given that they give these prizes out hand over fist, how would they make a profit otherwise?
