Hi,

I have had my first win and its an all expenses paid trip to New York!!!! Woo Hoo!

Has anyone else won with SKY before? I have had an email and spoken to someone, they have said another company deals with their prizes and they will ring me to arrange... Have been waiting 3 days now... Argghhhh... Want that phonecall. Is this normal?

    It's quite normal on holiday comps for an external company to sort the arrangements out.
    I've won two biggies & it happened on each.
    In the end both worked out & they even allowed some "movement" re adding a guest & giving up some of the prize so the cost of this was kept down.

    Congrats.
  • Brilliant win - well done!

    Sounds normal to me, when I won a trip to Lapland - I got the first phone call to say I'd won and that someone would be in touch and it was about a week later when the company got back to me...that wait seemed ageees! But worth it :)

    Congratulations again
