    I got one too. The terms say there is 24 winners over the competition period, one winner each day so why have so many of us had 'winning' emails?

    They advertise a free break that anyone can apply for so I don't really consider it a prize, not sure about the other options.
  • I've recieved the same, think i'll be giving this a miss!

    There is a whole heap of replies on the competition thread too.

    I think I will give it a miss.

    I have one too and my first thought was it is a timeshare. Also been to the hotel which is the main prize and was not impressed with it
  • Also when I looked further on it said that couples have to be both over the age of 25, so that was me and my partner out.

    We aim to bring you the best FREE offers we can find, because we all like something free from time to time, but how often does it really happen? Our incredible OFFERS form part of marketing initiatives permitting the provider to offer a showcase of what it is they do best. Whether vacations, Days out or other Products & Services, we find the best for you to enjoy.

    In return for something free, the companies offering them hope that you will tell all your friends and family about them through Social Media, email or chat to encourage others to visit & use their products or services.

    There is no better form of advertising than ‘word of mouth’ recommendations. In most cases during your visit you will be offered something that you could purchase if you wanted to. Naturally, these companies are not charities, they still have to make a living. But you are never under any obligation.

    We only do business with companies who do not practice ‘hard sales tactics’. No one likes to feel under pressure, but if you just take the time to listen to what they have to offer you, it could really be worth it and you could walk away with an absolute bargain, having had the most wonderful experience for free. This is what we call a win/win scenario

    Where did this come from?
