We received a £10 Amazon card in the post this morning have no idea who sent it.  Anyone else had this? It came in a Jiffy bag and no note or anything, with the return address on the postage label saying “immediate media” as the returnee. But there’s nothing we have ordered in relation to the company? (They do magazines related to the BBC for example).

    I once got a £50 amazon voucher that I had no idea where it came from.   Turns out it was an award from work - but there was no indication who it was from.    It wasn't until a month afterwards that my manager's manager asked what I had spent it on.    I bet he tought I was an ungrateful so and so for not saying thank you before.

    Could be a prize from their Immediate Insiders surveys about their magazines/advertisers?
