    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Name Dropper Combo Breaker
    I had a telephone call last night regarding this competition to tell me I had won the 4th prize.
    7 nights at this hotel for two people, but have to pay £29.50 each!!
    Was asked lots of questions about income, age lenght of marriage and told that we could go anytime..even height of season, but have to agree to look around for an hour and a half and listen to sales pitch.
    Don't mind doing this, as we couldn't afford to buy anyway!!
    Had a look on their website and it looks nice, but am slightly concerned about it all.
    Does anyone have any similar experience??

    Yes i got 4th prize in this too! told too pay £29.50 each by next week!! told her i want it in writing too see the details - and low and behold NO Email!!!!

    I had a call yesterday afternoon to say I was in the 'final few' for this draw.
    I was asked income/marriage/lifestyle/age questions. All sounded very timeshare'ish to me! They told me the draw will take place by Monday.
    I am taking a large pinch of salt with this one. I hope it is straight up, but I didn't get the right vibes from the caller!
    Prove me wrong please.

    Update..call to say I'd won, and had to pay 'admin' fees + £29 each for the children and we were all room only. Then you have to agree to go for a 90min timeshare sorry, 'ownership' presentation. Flight on top. Expensive prize(flight prices not too bad but tax and fuel surcharges criminal)

    well done!! :j
  • I had a similar call and as I only entered one competition for Malta afterwards checked out the T&Cs which stated couples, homeowner and a certain income, however I said I'd take my sister and should have said partner so got nothing I will try to memorize T&Cs in future!

    Anyway well done those who answered correctly and enjoy. I will keep entering and maybe..
    If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours :smiley:

    Thank you to everyone who posts. :A
  • I too had a phone call asking age, marital status, who I would be taking on the hol if I won, & how I normally take my spending money (cash, travellers cheques/creditcard). I found the lady very chatty & encouraged our conversation. I said I'd take my best pal as I am currently going through a very bad year & she's been a rock. Needless to say that was obviously the wrong answer !!!
    I felt churned up all weekend thinking I may have won - but then no call.
    I do pass on my sincere congratulations to the lucky winner - the sell the caller gave of the resort sounded lovely.
