  • It was a short comp I think..posted on Heatworld June 28th not sure of end date but it was always going to be short notice

    I entered the competition knowing the date of travel but didn't expect them to ring me less than 24hours before the flight :(

    E: 03/07 Win a trip to Chicago and a set visit to next year’s most exciting film

    Makes you wonder why they've taken so long to notify the winner. Hope something good comes your way soon.

    No I would have expected the day after it ended at the latest...ESTA's can take (although they rarely do) 72 hours to authorize :( I wonder if someone else declined making it a later than normal notification..

    That's awful, you poor thing. I won a weekend break to a rural Irish music festival the night before it was due to start (the original winner had pulled out last minute). There were a lot of phonecalls with the organisers - we learned there were no available flights from my nearest airport, there was no physical way we could have got to rural Ireland anyway, and it just wasn't feasible to get there at such short notice. However, the organisers kindly offered an alternative break in Dublin to be taken at my own leisure.

    I'm surprised Heat haven't offered something similar - especially with the date being so close, the number of available people will be shrinking by the hour.

    I'm sorry that your hopes were built up and then dashed. Hope you win something really nice soon. Good luck.

    That's so bad! No matter how short the comp was they should at least give the winner more notice. I hope another big win comes your way soon :)
