Pepsi comp - anyone had prize through?

sparkle24

I called today and Spoke to Katy to confirm my wins, she told me that a batch of prizes are being sent out today (which i have missed) and that another batch of prizes are being sent out on Wednesday!

So fingers crossed they are on their way to us all!!

Also got the call but as I asked re the prize being available on the website as now being in West Sussex only they are uncertain whether or not that will be fulfilled for me in Leicestershire and are now waiting for confirmation from 'buyagift', if that is now the case then they will send me a voucher that I can exchange for any of the 'experiences'...the prizes that were offered for this comp were not the usual buyagift experiences , they were special 'promotional ones' with deals negotiated between Britivic and buyagift....

Just had a call from Katy and the Monster Truck Driving has been withdrawn from Leicestershire and is only available in West Sussex...have been asked to choose one of the other experiences that were offered , but have declined as I specifically chose Monster Trucks as it is the only one I thought I would be able to do and enjoy ,and it was relatively close to me here in the Midlands....she does not think I will be able to chose anything else from the buyagift website as the prizes for the comp were specially negotiated ones....so looks as though it's a stalemate....she's making a few phone calls and will call me back later to see if there is anything else that can be done.....

Seriously :mad: So i've won a pretty pointles prize then as no way I can go that far! I have a feeling that it might be the same with the powerboat racing that i won as looking on the buy a gift website it said southampton only but pepsi said southampton/london

Really not impressed with Pepsi after this competition!

Just wondering if anyone actually received anything this week, if the first batch of prizes were sent when they said surely we should have had them by now.
We're still waiting for all 4 of our prizes.

Blimey, after reading this lot am actually glad I didn't win! rather takes the shine off a win when you have to chase it like this...:(

Just a note of caution for those hoping to exchange your experiences for a different one or gifts with buyagift... You often can't!
Remember I won a bungee jump? The very thought of it makes me reach for the Tenas, so I went on the site & registered my voucher, then tried to exchange it. It was coming up with no value. When I contacted them they said as it had been generated specifically for the jump, it couldn't be exchanged- despite the back of the voucher clearly stating something along the lines of "This experience not suitable? browse our site for another!" They tried saying that was pre-printed on all vouchers, but in same font etc as my code etc.... yea right! They're not gonnna budge, so will donate to a local worthy cause to raffle / auction off as there's NO WAY I'm doing it!

i am still waiting for mine. havent even had the phone call confirming my details. a bit of a shambles!

I contacted buy a gift and pepsi and been told that i would be able to exchange the vouchers - hopefully this info is correct whether i ever receive the vouchers though.... mentioned on facebook, i love the way that they are 'reissuing' them to people as if they had already been posted and just go lost... Wish they'd just admit that they have had problems and explain the situation rather than just telling everyone that they will be with us in 5 working days!

I won back in July and was told my voucher would be with me within 28 days - still waiting! I'd almost forgotten about it until I saw this thread. I asked for a zorbing experience, I hope there's one near me otherwise it'll be a bit useless!
