  • I had same email. On their website they are giving away a free break to the hotel in Kent to everyone, if they attend a video presentation/tour etc.

    Definitely time share. I'm out!
    BANGARANG :j
  • I've just had the same email too. I had wondered when entering if it would be some sort of timeshare thing.
  • I had this too, its a timeshare, so I will not be going, also be aware that if you cancel within 7 days of the date, you will be liable for the £145
  • Definitely selling something... clicked on the green link out of interest and leads to:

    All bookings are subject to OysterOwnership’s Terms & Conditions.
    Couples must be at least 25 years old. You are required to take proof of address and ID with you – ideally a Passport or Driving Licence and a Utility Bill. You must both attend a video presentation and tour of the hotel facilities. If you wish to rearrange your booking or cancel, you can do so without charge, providing you give a minimum of 7 days notice, but please be aware that failure to do so, will result in a charge that represents the full value of this break (£145). Cancellations must be made by email to claim@cherrypickpromotions.com. This Mini-Break is free of charge for 2 people and includes Full English Breakfast and can only be claimed and used once per couple. By creating and accepting your booking you agree to adhere to OysterOwnership’s Terms & Conditions above.

    Think this should be posted as scam (sorry diddlydoop we know your intentions were good) shame they had to jump on the bandwagon of advents to rally up business

  • I also got the same winning email and text - I was super excited to have won my first Advent competition this year after an extremely dry year comping-wise; however having read this thread, I think I will ignore and unsubscribe from their emails. Such a shame (and waste of time!)
