Hi all
Just this minute had an email to say I've won a £100 Visa Prepaid card and I need to click the 'claim now' button. I am wondering if it real or a scam as I thought this ended weeks ago?
Anyone else? If anyone did win one what did you have to do to claim it?
I don't want to click the claim now button if is a virus - help x:undecided:undecided

I've just had the same email.
It looks genuine to me, I've pressed the claim now button and it goes to the proper visa site with a space to input the claim number. I've just searched through a load of old payment slips and found some that are in the competition period, I entered lots of times but assume I can submit any of the receipts as it doesn't specify a date.
It was certainly a surprise to receive this, I thought it ended long ago,perhaps some winners didn't have valid claims?
Thanks for the original post Maine Blue:T0 -
:TCongratulations both:T (as you say it could be previous winners have not contacted/provided the information in time)0

Redraws look likelyUnclaimed daily instant win prizes
In the event that any Daily Instant Win prize is unclaimed or disqualified or the Visa Payment cannot be verified the Promoter may re-allocate the associated prize at the end of the Promotional period and a further prize draw will take place in respect of these Prizes (the “Additional Daily Prize Draw”~).
Eligible entries for the Additional Daily Prize Draw shall be any entry for the Promotion that has not previously been selected in a draw during the Promotional Period.
The Additional Prize Draw will take place on 29 May 2014 and shall be subject to the same selection and moderation conditions as set out above. In respect of the Additional Prize Draw winners must claim their prize within 14 days of the date of Notification that they have been selected as a winner in the Additional Daily Prize Draw (the verification of a Visa Payment must then be completed within 28 days of such notice).Unclaimed weekly draw or final draw prizes- In the event that the Promoter cannot contact a winner after taking all reasonable steps to do so (or if the winner does not claim their prize within the specified timescale of receiving Notification) the Promoter reserves the right in its absolute discretion to decide that unclaimed prizes for Weekly Prize Draws or Final Draws will be awarded to a substitute winner (who has been drawn at random in the same way and at the same time as the original winner(s)).
- In the event that the Promoter decides (in accordance with this clause) that prizes will be awarded to substitute winners, such substitute winners will receive a Notification in accordance with clause 10. Substitute winners of the Weekly Prize Draw or Final Draws must complete the online claim form within 48 hours of receiving Notification
