    Just spoken with Katy again, feel sorry for the careline team tbh, they were assured that our prizes would have been despatched/received by now. Awaitning a call back for an update. x

    I was told on Friday someone would phone me back monday (yesterday) nothing so far! x
  • Well after being given 3 separate promises that my prize would be dispatched and received within a specified time (and being disappointed each time when the prize failed to materialise), I have now contacted the IPM and asked them to investigate on my behalf.

    If anyone else wants to do the same, I emailed complaints@theipm.org.uk - someone got back to me very quickly to provide me with confirmation of receipt and a ref no

    Well the call back didn't happen, so it looks like I will be calling again tomorrow. Too many stories coming out of Pepsi/Britvic to believe. If no joy tomorrow I will email the ipm too. x

    To all those who have not received their prizes: we would like to send out a sincere apology to all of you. Clearly this is unacceptable and it is our responsibility to ensure the prizes reach you. We want you, our fans, to know that we will fulfil every prize. Don't worry about vouchers expiring; they are valid for 12 months from when we issue them to you - not from when you won them. Thanks so much for your patience, and please accept our sincere apologies, Max

    Would be more helpful to know what they are actually doing about it though!

    Had a call back today, aparently my prizes were sent out on the 21st, but as I haven't received them they are sending them again. I would have thought that if the prizes were sent out someone would have mentioned it by now, looks like another weeks wait. x
