  • Thanks ;).

    One thing though. The T&C are confusing. Although the end date is given as 28/09, another T&C states "There are twenty (20) Spot Prizes to be won in total via a twice-daily prize draw between 20 and 29 September 2014." Nothing for 19 September! So looks like need to wait until tomorrow to go into the 2 draws?

    By day, prizes are:
    • 20 September 2014: 1x Virgin Trains Open Return First Class ticket
    • - 1x 7” 16GB Kindle Fire
