    Still worth contacting them. If they didn't award it to someone else, they may well still honour it (despite what the T&Cs say).

    Nothing to lose by sending them a message xxx I would anyway :) How heartbreaking though :( Give it a go, and just play on the fact you didn't even realise there was an "others" box. Good Luck x
  • didn't even realise there was on 'other' messages section - so glad you brought this up - will always check from now on x

    So sorry to hear this. Unfortunately this is an all too familiar story. I just wish these companies would run their comps properly by way of an app instead of messaging you which as we know goes into your "others" folder and you do not get any notifications.

    Likewise, even some of the comps where they reply to your post, (Santander, Echo falls etc) again being notified of these by facebook are also a hit and miss.

    I would certainly contact them and explain the above.

    Also check the T&Cs does it mention how they will notify?

    Good luck

    Aw no. Try not to dwell on it though. If it's meant to be, another similar thing will come your way x
