    If only 10 people claimed and the pot was 10 million $ then everyone would in theory get 1 million $.   Happy days...Probably doesn’t work like that though.Lol.  
    Reading through their blurb again it says like $6.50 per day of hire.  Think I had about 20 days of hire so maybe $130 - by the time PayPal converts to £'s probably around £80.  Hope for that and if it is more then all is good. 
  • Looks like my quest of becoming a millionaire is on the back boiler for now . All in all I had 42 days hire so that’s $252. At least I can buy fish and chips for the family.

    Thanks , I wondered how much it would be. I think we will get about the same as you so should be able to buy a bar of chocolate 😄
    If you don’t like a thread or post just move on by.

    Meh.  I see it as free money and grateful Ms Venerus for having the bottle to persue it.
  • Yes me too. 

    Does the amount include an inflation linked increase i wonder as these things sometimes do? 
    I guess we will find out in august :smile:

  • I filled in all the relevant forms and had an acknowledgement, but have received no e-mail as yet. Checked Spam etc. Hopefully something will arrive shortly.

    I received an email yesterday asking me to confirm my payment collection route. I tried PayPal but that didn't work so I chose eMastercard instead. Shortly after got another email confirming my choice. I hired a 12 seat minibus from Budget via Expedia in July 2012. Will have to see what happens next

    The emails received by the posters above appear to be asking for the required method of payment. I submitted four claims which were all individually acknowledged, but on each the payment method was given i.e. Mastercard Gift card and iirc it will only be sent to my phone. See form below. 

    So I expect(i.e. hope) the next communication will be the gift cards appearing on my phone.

  • I’m still waiting for email for my third hire to be sent. But I noticed when I got the paperwork out that I filled in last year that on one I asked for a cheque. That should be fun trying to cash that at Barclays. After they have converted it into Sterling and taken the commission I will problem be able to afford mushy peas with my fish and chips from the previous payments.
