Honeymoon competitions.

If you have been married over a few years (like myself 16 years) would it be morally wrong to enter a competition on here to win a honeymoon?
We never actually had a honeymoon (unless you count two days in Blackpool) There is no law saying a married couple cannot have a honeymoon if it is over a year of wedded bliss is there?

There have been similar discussions further down in here which you might find interesting

it's not something I would do, but it's a personal choice though I would point out you might have issues redeeming the prize as often they will want to know where your wedding etc is and some proof of booking before you can book flights also with your passports being in your married name and issued years previous to comp. But then again you may get away with it.

My 'thing' is that I won't knowingly break the T&C, which means in this situation I would check if they specify must be newly wed or not. I also won't lie. Other than that, I will follow my gut instinct re ethics.

The other day someone said that for wedding related prizes where they ask for a wedding date, they will give their true wedding date, even though that was years ago. That way, it's up to the organisors to decide.

I guess you could also email those hosting these comps to ask.

In the end though, I shouldn't lose too much sleep either way. There are worse things to do

You're married. You'd be taking the holiday after you were married. If it doesn't specify in the t and c that must be taken immediately after marriage you're in Comping is about winning and not moralising etc. If you want a holiday then enter it.

I've been tempted too - this year is my silver wedding anniversary & we're planning our "third honeymoon" as we had our "second honeymoon" after 10 years - think I deserve a medal nor a holiday

Have often wondered about this myself and wondered what others did. Do like serenity2012 train of thought though
