    I'd like to join if that is still possible. I've got the target for £2008. Total wins this year so far are about £3350. A kettle, a trip to Brighton with boutique hotel and tickets for a show and spending money and a holiday for two to Panama for ten nights.
    Top wins in 2018: Trip to Iceland, helicopter ride over london, couples massage, £300 flight from Pringles, trip to Paris, cocktail making class and afternoon tea up the shard. .

    Top wins in 2017:holiday to the Bahamas, trip to Paris, meal with champagne, a week in a manor house in France with £500 spending money.
  • You can put me down as target smashed too!
    Just when i thought 2008 was going to slip by without even winning a bean, a £3750 holiday membership comes through the letter box!
    Thanks MSE for triggering my "comping" gene!

    It's not 'Seasons' or 'Club La Costa':eek: is it - just the amount sounds very familiar.....:o - if you have to pay anything it's not a proper competition (more of a 'promotion' as they put it - or 'scam' as I put it:mad: )

    Oh dear, it does sound a bit familiar. These things are horrible for getting peoples hopes up. I nearly cried when I read the small print asking for £500.

    Anyway, I've just slowly crawled past the target and am on £2015. Nice £25 win on Bigsnap got me there in the end. Hurray!
    2015 wins: Jan: Leeds Castle tickets; Feb: Kindle Fire, Years supply Ricola March: £50 Sports Direct voucher April: DSLR camera June: £500 Bingo July: £50 co-op voucher
  • Finally crawled past the finishing post. Target passed today 13th November, current total £2011.73. :j
