    Think it said "runner up" but I would have to double check email to make sure,

    I couldn't find the competition, so I was asking to see if a few got it then I would have known it wasn't a win.

    So it's not?

    I get so few wins, that I get excited when I see something that looks like a win :o

    I think it is about a choir in a city, I quite liked the look of this, let me know what it is like when you have seen it please. ;)

    Still makes me giggle that folks are entering comps to fill in letters of the alphabet for our 50 Challenge :rotfl:

    Well done :T

    Did anyone else get an email from Move GB?

    I got a £25 voucher, but I'm not sure if it's a win or not :o

    It's from this comp:
    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5590316

    There was supposed to be 10 runners up who got the £25 voucher.

    I know someone who got one too, so that's 3 people. Not sure if it was legitimately only 10 people who received the email or if it's like one of those past situations where it says it's a runners up prize offered to a limited number of people, but actually turns out to have been offered to everyone or at least hundreds of people!

    Although, considering you have to pay £1 to "activate" the £25 voucher, I wouldn't personally consider it a "proper" prize anyway, as it sounds a bit dodgy to me, but happy to be proved wrong :D

    Still confused :o

    I think I will just ignore it ;)
