Won but probably won't use!

hanloutay

I just received an email from Cond! Nast Johansens informing me that I have won:

a three-night stay for two people at Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort in Indonesia.
Three-night stay for two people in a Luxury Room with daily breakfast
Dinner for two people on one evening
A spa treatment for two people

As there is no travel included I probably won't use this...that's the worst kind of competition win!!!!!

Erm, stating the obvious, but why did you enter lol...

Hopefully they can re-draw it and offer it to someone else.

T&Cs said travel is not included, something that is probably more common on long haul short breaks like this than it is on longer holidays although it can happen with those as well - "travel is not included" was added to the MSE post within about 90 mins of the competition being posted.

Terms & Conditions: Prize is valid for two people. It is subject to availability and must be pre-booked 60 days in advance. Prize is non-transferrable or refundable. All other expenses will be charged at the normal rate. One winner must be 18 or over. Travel is not included. Other terms and conditions may apply.

Well....... I have also won from conde nast this one https://www.johansens.com/ar-diamante-beach-competition/ and we are going! No travel, but their comps never do. Planning a girls only break, sadly this is only one night but adding on 2 more in b&b around £26 pppn plus ryanair flights around £55. Costa Blanca in November? Don't mind if I do

Happened to me in early days of comping, except mine was a runner up prize of a week's self catering accommodation in Portugal. We just couldn't afford the flights and a week eating out! You could ask them to redraw, you never know, they may find you a runner up prize tucked in the back of their prize drawer!

Oh my god that is an amazing holiday. I don't know your financial situation obviously but if you can you should try to find the funds for the flight even if it means going alone. The experience will enrich your soul.

But if you know you definitely won't go then perhaps you should let them know so they can redraw another winner. Congratulations anyway. That's a lucky win. ��

well said.

If you definitely won't be using it I'd contact them to let them know, they could re-draw it to see if someone else could use it

On my wem they said to let them know by Friday if you want to accept the prize, so op can easily declince.

awww its easily done, i dont always read the posts under the original until after ive entered and miss important info! or sometime i just enter things that have CORNWALL/CARDIFF in the title and dont even register until afterward.... sometimes we are just on autopilot and the prize looks really good so dont read all the terms (even if they are there on the post!) lol
