Must admit I was suspicious over the 'winning email' received since it didn't mention my name, bit of a shame but hey ho, move on.
I remember when I won a holiday to Disneyland Paris, I didn't believe the email and refused to believe it until I'd tracked down a direct email for the organisers and had it confirmed by phone.
Feel sorry for the poor person that flicked the wrong switch and generated a lot of winning emails...let's hope they still have a job!
The prize involved haircuts for the winning couple and since I don't have much hair, I have avoided that embarrassment!0 -
I got the winning email aswell..

I got it too! And I suppose we all got the follow up email saying 'Sorry you haven't won this was a 'technical error'. I have emailed them to complain and gave them my Advantage Card number just in case they want to add some points as compensation!!!0

I agree, the email they send is ridiculous.0 -

I do agree with this.I think the mistake is so big, thousands of people are in the same situation,a good will gesture to everyone would put them out of business
Do not agree with this.
I checked the term and conditions and at the end it says:
"Promoter and Data Controller: Unilever UK, Unilever House"
This is a very big company, making billions, so they will not go bankrupt, even if they send 9000 people to Barcelona.
(it contains the address as well, mayby we should all write a letter of complaint)0
