This is a bit misleading ..

I just won on the Nivea instant win competition...

Fill in your details to see if you have won a £1000 voucher, a £50 voucher or a £10 voucher to spend at our online shop

After filling in my details I got the following
(It won't copy and paste :eek:)

Anyway I got a free deodorant and a free body wash....BUT only on the condition I spent £15 at there online shop first

Very disappointing and misleading I think :(

    It does say there are
    "Unlimited NIVEA Online Shop vouchers to redeem a free NIVEA Stress Protect roll on and NIVEA Creme Soft Shower crème with any purchase over £15".

    Yeah I see that now but the winning pop up did say

    "Fill in your details to see if you have won a £1000 voucher, a £50 voucher or a £10 voucher to spend at our online shop"

    I'm not grumpy some you win some you lose, I just thought it was misleading and I wanted to let others know what had happened to me, so they don't automatically think they have won a voucher ;)

    my message clearly had "or an offer voucher" after the £10 - perhaps they've amended it

    I entered this on the first day and always read the detail, and I'm sure there was nothing warning you would need to spend x amount to get your freebies.

    I left a message and others had to.

    So they may have clarified their terms.

    This is from the original terms
    The weekly prizes will consist of 1 x £1000, 3 x £50, 50 x £10 NIVEA Online Shop Vouchers, Unlimited NIVEA Online Shop vouchers to redeem a free NIVEA Stress Protect roll on and NIVEA Creme Soft Shower crème with any purchase over £15

    Compared to many they are quite good, the vouchers can be used with the 3 for 2 offer but the pre discount spend counts when redeeming the spend required voucher but the £10 one comes off the discounted price.
