Hi,
I have received an email saying I have won a runner up prize of a £5 discount.
Does this sound like a real prize, or just a marketing email?
This is the email:
-------------
CONGRATULATIONSYou've won a prize in our Sing 2 Prize Draw. You've won a runner up £5 discount on all items in our store, includng the new Sing 2 range, when you spend £15 or more.Your unique discount code is only for you an can be used once within the next 2 weeks, so don't delay!--------------
Not too sure about this!

Not much of a win if you have to spend money to get the £5 coupon. I usually press delete when I see emails like this, but if they are emails like this and I usually buy from them, then of course I do not delete these emails!0
