No.
I was offered two free Scout places for a week in France, but we didn't have current passports & anyway it caused a massive family row.0 -
I won a family holiday to centre parks not long after starting to comp (must have been beginners luck lol!) it was a luxury log cabin with spending money aswell. I hadn't realised when entering that the competition was for a family of 4, we have 4 children so in total there is actually 6 of us, I offered to pay for the additional children so we could still go however, they very kindly told me not to worry and said 'their prize budget' allowed them to include them as part of the prize, also upgraded us so we would be closer to the amenities so we wouldn't have as far for the children to walk (centre parks is huge!!) have an extra bedroom for the added children and added a highchair and cot into the package for us aswell as some little activity things for the kids all at no additional charge to us. I was so so grateful to them and thought it was so kind if them to be so accommodating when I was half expecting them to say we wouldn't be able to have the prize atall as it was only meant to be for 4people! That has been the only holiday we've been able to have for 2years due to finances so made it that extra bit special aswell
Hope you get a lovely holiday win soon

Yes I have won a family holiday to Morocco this year. Only the 2 of us went as no kids and were upgraded to all inclusive so it was great. Fabulous hotel & didn't cost a thing! Also won a few weekend hotel breaks.0

Not long after starting comping I won a trip to Washington but had to give it up as it was too short notice. Then about a year or two later I won a holiday to Sydney for 2 weeks, and managed to get a trip to Ayers Rock thrown in too.
Then last week I won a weeks Ski trip to Switzerland for next year.
Two holidays I would never have been able to afford.0 -
I've been entering comps for holidays and overnight stays ever since I started comping and haven't won any holidays/hotel stays .... yet .... here's hoping that'll change soon2019: Footcream, tickets to homebuilding show,
£100 leisure vouchers, funky iron0 -
Yes! Were going tomorrow! 3 nights in Skegness at a Park Holiday site including passes.
The prize was for 2 nights and I asked how much it would cost to extend it and they gave us an extra night for free :-)
To say the kids are excited is a great understatement - its our 1st holiday in 3 years0 -
