We obtain all of our prizes from carefully selected providers, and work closely with reputable firms to make sure that all of our prizes are exactly as described in each Competition. If the main prize is a holiday, we will liaise with the winner to confirm that holiday features are suitable for them and can amend facilities to the same value as stated in the competition info. Holiday winners can opt in for a cash alternative if they cannot at all be flexible with the departure dates or if a disability prevents them from accepting the prize.
Usually our prize will be sent over by email conformation or we will either hand-deliver the prize or use courier delivery service to deliver all our prizes. Should the prize be too large or valuable to send by mail, we will arrange for it to be delivered personally. If the prize is a holiday, we will liaise with the winner to accommodate their requests as much as possible and hand over the itinerary to them. Spending money will be delivered via bank transfer three days prior to departure, unless a cash alternative has been accepted instead. We aim to deliver any prizes within 5 working days, and definitely within 14 working days at the latest.
The winner may be able to receive a cash alternative if it is so specified in each Competition.
