OMG - I just won a holiday by clicking on a banner advertisement here and I’ve bloody well one an amazing
:cheering::cheering: Wow! Is it for real?
yeah true but i think the reviews forvthe hotel are interesting. when i speak to them tomorrow I’ll get them to explain the negative reviews before I commit
Wow. I didn’t think anyone ever actually won anything like that. Good for you!
That’s incredible! Never hear of anyone winning something as good as that. Hope it all works out and you can take the trip! :woohoo:
This makes me wonder if I should allow banner ads on my 'puter after all. Nah, I think I’ll leave it as it is.
What’s the catch? I never trust those kind of “too good to be true” deals. Do you fly here ona pterodactyl and stay in a flea bag hotel?
Jan, I think he’ll have to pay for those upgrades. :teehee: I don’t click on things because who knows where they’ll take you or what they’ll say you’ve agreed to. I do hope this trip is really something good. Just because I’m a cynical pessimist doesn’t mean I don’t have that pesky optimistic streak hanging around.
Jan - yeah, as far as I can tell it’s a flea bag hotel. I’ve emailled them and asked them to explain the negatives reviews about their hotel AND to honestly tell me why I should waste money on ‘the extras’ …
You are so lucky, but i don’t actually believe it, most of them need extra money.
No luck - in fact, it’s a crock of **** … the more I read reviews the more horrified I am … strangely, they’re not responding to my email asking to explain all the negative spin.
As the old saying goes “if it seems to good to be true … it more than likely will be …”.
Be careful. It may be a scam in order to get your personal information.
I’m sorry to hear this, David. I really did hope it would turn out to be as it appeared on the surface.
I had a feeling it was a bunch of bull. They always say, whoever “they” are, to never click those banners.
The good news is this: it was legitimate but I questioned their quality of service and insisted on a refund as they required a “small” payment to proceed. After a bit of argy bargy, they gave me the refund (thank dog).
It isn’t free if you have to pay ANYTHING for it, large or small amount. Glad you managed the refund.
This really is a scam. To charge you for a trip that you’ve won? No, not legit, not really. I’m glad you actually got a refund - have you actually received it? My sister clicked on one of those free shipping popups once and found to her surprise that she was getting recurring charges to her credit card. I’m so paranoid to the extreme that I don’t click on much of anything. Who knows where it will lead.
Agreed. Never pay for something that is supposed to be free. That scam is making money like crazy I’m sure.
