    I 'won' that prize as well. I thought that it sounded really dodgy, so I turned down the magical opportunity to give her my credit card details.

    I wouldn't class anything as a win if they wanted money. Even if it is just a "deposit"

    Well I hope it does turn out to be real and that, if you do take it up, you enjoy yourself. But I don't get why they would give you a CD of photos which you could then print yourself? Maybe I'm just too cynical.
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.

    well done :) but I always say real comps should not have "deposits" on them.

    I wouldn't accept the 'prize' myself if it needed any sort of deposit or initial outlay as then surely it's a special offer?

    If they say you'll get a cheque back, what happens if they have run out when you visit or the signatory isn't on the premises to sign?

    It is your choice (to both winners) but my gut says to me, no. :(
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:
