Hi everyone,

Our festive treasure hunt is back! (You may remember Seek Santa and Where's Wallet from previous years). This time it's Bauble Bobbing - six baubles will be hidden around the site for you to find. The first person to find each one gets £100. Read on to find out more.

How will it work?

It's a treasure hunt (of the virtual kind), where you'll win a prize for finding images that we've hidden. Things will kick off from 12 noon today (Thursday 17 December) when we'll place the six baubles in locations in all areas of the main website, forum or any of our tools. Each will contain a unique code. Each bauble will be worth £100 if you can find them (one per user, or to be technical one per household).

Here's what to look for

Before you get too clever images in this post don't count - all the winning images will contain a code!

How to join in

You need to join the forum to take part (it's free). It doesn't take long, but do it as early as possible and perhaps join a few discussions so you're completely used to posting when you spot the codes.

[registerbutton][/registerbutton]

We'll open this discussion thread by 12 noon today (Thursday 17 December). We'll aim to have all images hidden by then but please allow a 5 minute window and remember you may need to refresh your page or clear your cache if you're a regular MSE user. Also, the images may not all be obvious and you may have to dig a bit deeper to unearth them

For speed you may want to open several tabs or windows in your browser, one with this thread and one with our main site in it.

Once you've spotted one, click "post reply" below to post:

the unique code
a link to where you saw it, if you can post one (forum newbies can't post links, so don't worry) or a description of the location if not.

The first person to correctly post a code gets a cheque for £100. To spread the festive cheer as far as possible, you can only win once per household/person.

When a code's been found, we'll update you at the top of this post and via the @MSE_Forum Twitter account. Follow us on twitter and you may see some extra clues.

If you've won

If you've won we'll let you know by Private Message (PM) as soon as possible so check your inbox and reply back to us with your name and address. Please reply to the PM within seven days so we can send you your cheque. If not we may give the cheque to the following person to have posted the correct details on the thread.

The detail

In the event of dispute over who won, our ruling is final. And if you work for MSE (or the MoneySupermarket Group) then neither you nor your family can enter. To dot the i's and cross the t's we've written some full T&Cs below.

Good luck and happy hunting

Bauble Bobbing Terms & Conditions

1. This prize draw is open to residents of the UK aged 18 years or over, except employees of the Moneysupermarket Group (including MoneySavingExpert.com), or family members of such employees. In order to take part in the prize draw, entrants must have a MoneySavingExpert.com Forum account, which is enabled for posting (those who wish to enter but who do not presently have a MoneySavingExpert.com Forum account can register for one, free of charge, at forums.moneysavingexpert.com/register.php).

2. Details of how to enter form part of the terms and conditions. It is a condition of entry that all rules are accepted as final and that the entrant agrees to abide by these rules. The decision of the Promoter is final and no correspondence will be entered into. The Promoter reserves the right to modify the Promotion at any time without prior notice.

3. 6 bauble icons will be hidden around the https://www.moneysavingexpert.com website (the “Website”) from 12.01pm (UK-time) on Thursday 17 December 2015. We recommend refreshing your internet browser to ensure that the images appear. Each icon will be hidden in different locations across the Website. Each icon will carry a unique code. In respect of each unique code and name, the first MoneySavingExpert.com Forum member to post that code and name to the designated MoneySavingExpert.com Forum thread at https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5376427 (the “Designated Thread”) will win a prize of a cheque for £100 (each a “Prize”). There are 6 Prizes to give away. The Prizes are subject to availability and may be changed by the Promoter in its absolute discretion. The Prizes are non-transferable, non-negotiable and cannot be substituted by the winner for any other prize.

4. In order to win one of the Prizes, entrants must post the unique code, which is six digits long, exactly as it appears on the bauble icon and location in which it was hidden. They must be the first forum member to successfully post this information to the Designated Thread. The time-stamp on the MoneySavingExpert.com Forum post will be decisive as to which forum member has successfully posted first, and the Promoter’s decision will be final as to whether a given post contains the unique code exactly as it appears on the bauble icon and location in which it was hidden.

5. The prize draw will open from 12.01pm (UK-time) on Thursday 17 December 2015. It will end once the unique code and location of the 6 bauble icons have been posted to the Designated Thread. The prize draw will close at 12.00 noon on Friday 18 December 2015 (the “Closing”), any Prizes which are unclaimed by this time will be withdrawn.

6. Each winner will be contacted by the Promoter with 5 working days of the close of the giveaway via the MoneySavingExpert.com Forum’s Private Message facility. The winners will be required to respond within seven days of being contacted, confirming the payee name (to whom the cheque should be made out) and the address to which the Prize should be sent. If the winner fails to provide this information within seven days, the Promoter reserves the right to award that Prize to an alternative winner in accordance with these terms and conditions (i.e. to the second person to post that unique code to the Designated Thread, followed by the third, and so-on).

7. A maximum of one Prize is available per person and/or household. The Promoter reserves the right to withhold a prize or prizes if, in its fair judgement, it appears that the same person or same household has ‘won’ more than one Prize, and/or to require reasonable proof from the winner(s) in question that they are not the same person and/or do not share a household.

8. Late, incomplete, corrupt entries, or entries sent through agencies and third parties, will not be accepted. No responsibility can be accepted for lost entries. The Promoter in particular cannot accept any responsibility or liability under or in connection with the prize draw (including without limitation for delayed entries due to device or internet connectivity issues).

9. These prize draw terms and conditions incorporate our Full Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.

10. These terms and conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The Courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction in connection with these terms and conditions.

11. Promoter: MoneySavingExpert.com Limited, 19-22 Rathbone Place, London, W1T 1HY
