Looks like a foolproof giveaway this time.
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/fun/competitions/promotions/4958147/Save-950-on-Train-Tickets.html
All you have to do is collect three differently numbered tokens we’re printing in-paper from Saturday, June 15 until Friday, June 21, 2013 and post them off along with the voucher we’re also printing.
We will then email you with a unique voucher code which will give you £9.50 to spend on train travel at redspottedhanky.com – and all absolutely free.

My opinion of the promotion is as follows. People should be able to apply for these vouchers even before they start collecting the papers. That way when 30,000 people have been given the vouchers any extra over 30,000 will miss out and will have wasted money and postage.
So, you simply just print off the conformation you have applied then start collecting the papers.
If RSH want to stop people grabbing many they need to look at MSE. Their promotions work very well. The simple answer to this is because everyone is sat at their PC waiting for 11 AM and 3PM. So, it means that everyone has a fair chance of getting the vouchers. Also MSeE give out about 15,000 vouchers in two minutes.
The problem with the last promotion was the website was up and running with the code works logged on it. So, it meant people just had to guess the answers to see if they were right. Also there was not a word thing at the end so a small number of people used scripts to pull out many codes. The website let people refresh to gain another code, which in turn generated another code form the used pot of codes.
My advice:
1) Use the vouchers the second they hit your account, as they could be gone within minutes when some as Atos realises they have given more than 1 voucher out.
2) Get the tickets posted to you or collect them the day before as RSH regularly mess up the ticket collection
3) Shop around for tickets RSH is not always the cheapest it may be cheaper to book direct as the train companies do not release some tickets to these sellers.
4) Enjoy your trip.0 -

Apologies for the confusion. I was saying that the sun should have this set up so you know you will get a voucher before you start collecting. However, you have to collect to find out if you are one of the 30,000 once you have sent it off.0 -
http://www.headforpoints.com/2013/06/10/up-to-15-of-redspottedhanky-train-ticket-vouchers-for-everyone-with-their-new-game/
RedSpottedHanky, the online train booking website, has launched a ‘Fantasy Wimbledon’ game on its website. At first glance, it doesn’t seem terribly interesting – you create your own team, earn points based on their performance at Wimbledon, and the highest ranking players win an iPad, Kindle, Wii or iPod Shuffle.
However, when you look at the details, it becomes a lot more interesting! Every point you earn in the competition will be converted to 3p of RedSpottedHanky train travel vouchers, up to a maximum of £15. And a decent amount of vouchers should be relatively easy to hit, because you can have up to 10 ‘transfers’ during the tournament, which allows you to remove players who get knocked out.0 -
