Bid for a Break Jet2Holidays

Not sure how/if this should be posted as although it is free to enter you will need to pay your bid to collect prize. I thought I saw it on here when it was running before but couldn't find it.

https://www.jet2holidays.com/bid-for-a-break

Basically it is as it says on the tine - you bid for a break. Lowest unique bid wins


Bid to be in with a chance of winning a seven-night holiday for two adults and two children to the four-star Pine Bay Holiday Resort in Kusadasi, Turkey. What are you waiting for? Download our app and bid before midday on Thursday 20 April 2023

    Probably post it on the main board, the entry route isn’t text, phone or postal, and it is free to enter like you say, you only pay if you win, there are some free to enter competitions on the main board that should one win would require customs payments. 

    Perhaps we could use this thread to post our bids so that we don’t all bid the same amount?

    Not sure publicly posting your bids is sensible - anyone could set up fake details and bid each of the amounts posted to put them out of the running before placing their own bid

    I'm not sure it would be worth the hassle given you have to enter through the app with an email address for each bid and putting a few people out of the running doesn't do much of increasing ones own odds of winning.

    Quite possibly but it only takes one person to be bothered and knowing the lengths some go to for tiny prizes nothing would surprise me
