Lucky me - I'm a Strongbow Winner...

One months free use of Napster - I can't believe my luck - and all I have to do is sign up for a tethered low-quality download music "service" and give them my credit card details - if I cancel within the month I won't even be charged. Oh joy.

(just noticed I also get 10 "free" tracks. Woohoo. I'm assuming they still use the model where everything magically vanishes the moment you leave them)

Anyone else been emailed this p**-poor excuse for a "free trial" masquerading as a competition prize?

(I haven't put this in scams as its isnt strictly speaking a scam, more sharp practice)

    :) Count yourself lucky I was only offered 3 free tracks with my win - I must have won the runners up prize!
  • I "won" this too but only got 5 free tracks! Deleted it from my inbox, not worth the hassle!!

    Ah just read this thread after starting my own. i think I will just delete it too then. I was hoping it would be good, like the free dvd trials.

    Congratulations you are a lucky winner. You have won a FREE* one month's subscription to Napster, (worth £9.95), giving you unlimited access to over 2 million tracks, PLUS 10 FREE tracks.

    :(

    does it mean that you can still download to your mp3? will it delete from that? i dont understand! aslo is the quality that poor - i dont know anyone who has used them...? probably now wont bother!

    If anyone wants to give it a go and have 10 tracks free, the code
    STRONGNAPS110 should work - I'm not going to use it funnily enough.
