    I got one too, was just looking on the site :eek: Note was looking at the Duchess at £160 & it went into basket at £265!

    Hmmm that sounds a bit fishy. Call me cynical, but it sounds like they are giving everyone who entered a £100 "discount" and then bumping up their prices by, oooh, about £100 a time!! Sounds like a bit of a scam to me :( I'm glad I didn't enter!
  • Add me to the list - i'd love a new handbag too :( but not at those prices sadly!


    HUGE THANKS! To all those who post comps and answers
  • me to, really got my hopes up wonder if there was really a winner

    I ''won'' too.

    They have added this to the email now

    ''
    We initially were giving away 10 of the runner up prices but we have increased this number as Valentines Day draws close. ''

    which made me laugh.

    Pity as they do seem like nice bags but I'd never spend that kind of money on a bag,even with the £100 ''discount''.

    I got one too - have no intention of using it though...
  • Haha I emailed them questioning the runner up thing as so many people are getting it. They emailed back and stated we are only runners up, its is £100 off and they find it rude that people are questioning it...not even in proper English!!!

    I got one too, knew it was a bit 'fishy' as mine is titled Dear Sir/Madam, now surely they would know the names of just 10 people! no mention of extended runners up though, shall we pool all our vouchers together and take them over? ;)
    Win Totals 2013 £3331 / 2014 £4815 / 2015 £3067 / 2016 £5617 / 2017-2023 £4106 / 2024 £2500 OVER £23K!!
  • I got one too but luckily knew what to expect! What a big con! I doubt there was even a main prize given away!
