That's what I am thinking. I do feel like I've been mislead.

I would say you have been, that's not what the prize said at all

Looking at this, they are saying that you have won a pair of shorts but the implication on the competition that you entered was for a £200 spend.

I would be happy to be a winner but very upset at the ambiguity or mis-representation of the prize on offer if there is any. Having said that, from what I see on the competition entry form , it is to win a £200 spend.

If the prize is a pair of shorts there is mis representation of the prize.

Send them a screenshot of the competition Question your prize and ask them to honour it. If they don't there is a complaints thingy for comps that I don't have but others MSE will help you with. xx good luck

Just done a bit of digging and I would definately complain, they don't even sell shorts for anywhere near £200

That's how I feel - I am really pleased to win, but feel like a muppet thinking the prize would be £200 to spend. Whilst the £70 shorts are a very nice prize, it's not what I thought I won (or could win)!

Aww don't feel like a muppet it's their fault, if they were offering a pair of shorts they should have said it was just a pair of shorts.

The shorts I've won, are the ones I pinned on Pinterest - a very nice pair of £70 shorts (I also pinned some other items of theirs too).

FURTHER EDIT: One of the items they have to pin on there is a suit worth £380! I guess anyone that pinned that didn't stand a chance of winning then!!!

I would email and explain the comp advertised the prize as £200 and not a pair of shorts.

Seems like a very dodgy comp looks like they might have changed their mind when they picked you as the winner and thought they might have been able to fob you off with the £70 shorts, whereas if the winner had been someone who pinned the suit they might have just offered the £200 to spend

"Be in with the chance of winning £200.00" this is how it is worded. Not re-pin to win that item up to the value.

It states win £200 to spend. I would query it - because I wouldn't be happy either! x

Agreed, now it would have been a different story if it had said

Be in with the chance of winning an item worth up to the value of £200
