Holiday for 4

Hi, do you know if you can add an extra child if you win a holiday? I have 3 children, so I can't enter any holiday competitions as they are always for a family of 4.

Hi,it is down to the promotors really.
My experience is positive though.
I've won trips to Vancouver & NY.Both were for two adults.
On the Vancouver trip I just the paid to add a child.This was just the airfare as they let me choose a hotel that had two double beds.
On the NY I just gace up the $1000 SAKS voucher & they added a child on.
I'd say enter & then just be nice as you negotiate :-)0 -
Ok thank you. I will try my luck then :-).
Maybe it will be my first win!!!!0 -
There is a comp - can't remember it very well as was only checking t&cs, but it said if there was a third child they would try and accomodate but please be aware that costs may be involved... or something along those lines!!0

I'm in the same boat as you, Tttccc... also having 3 kids, it makes me mad that 99% of "family" orientated comps (days out or holidays) are for 2 adults and 2 kids.
I'm always scared to enter these, as I think about how devastated I'd be to be told I'd won it but then not allowed to add a third child on!!! I have no idea whether my fears are justified or not, but I just steer clear anyway to be on the safe side.

Hi,personally I just enter I then see if I win :-)
Then negotiate.It's worked up to now :-)0 -
I have 3 children too ( all to old to count as children) & suggest that you read T&Cs and also check what the accommodation is - very few hotels have family rooms for 5, but if it's self catering you may be better offproud gran to 4 lovely boys and one little girl0
