Yes you have won but if it was me I would not touch it with a bargepole.
It is a sales pitch nothing more nothing less.0 -
I'm interested to know, do you actually remember entering this particular comp? Was it posted on here? If so it may be worth posting the details for others who may have entered. I remember a long time ago I had a phonecall saying that I have won a holiday somewhere exotic (this was before I started comping) and that all I had to do was to attend a 'presentation' then I would receive my holiday voucher or whatever it was. It was a timeshare hard sell and I never went because I knew that it was a marketing ploy with guaranteed pressure selling.Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water
After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water0 -
I've entered a lot of competitions that I found here, so initially I thought it might be one of them, but when I factor in lost earnings to attend their session, and the cost of flights, to somewhere I don't dream of going to, I think it's just an elaborate sales pitch, and I'd rather poke my eyes out with a free pen from a funeral plan company, than waste my life on this lot.
When I win a holiday, I want to be picked up from my door, given spending money in cash, and go somewhere I want to go to.0 -
Yes, you've won the right to be bored silly and browbeaten into signing something expensive you will regret.0
-
Yes you have won a free week in probably a very luxurious apartment. If you can resist the hard sell then go for it. I have been to a couple of these presentations and had some great awards for my trouble. I didn't find it a hard sell because I am not an 'instant' person I like to think things over so no way was I signing anything on the day. I do by the way have a timeshare which we think is wonderful!0
