Unless you have thousands to spare - everything !
Every scratchcard is a winner and everyone wins the star prize,Don't let your curiosity get the better of you!!! Remember the old adage "If it seems too good to be true it probably is" Throw it in the bin!!!

That's what my wife thought about me and I've BIN married for 35 years ! :D
The card states only holiday makers can apply and "it's not a timeshare" but "this programme is designed to promote tourism in Spain at no cost or obligation" But my only interest is to know what type of "competition" it is (i didn't want to call it by any other name just in case i'm wrong) ;)

It might well be but i'd love to know what they're selling if not just to satisfy my curiosity but others' as well if they come across it.

The card says it's not timeshare unless they've come up with a new scheme along those lines :spin:

Mossy, it seems that you won't be happy until you've been!
Take your cheque book and let us all know how you get on ( and which weeks you end up with)..:)

or points:crazy:
It probably is, judging from the caliber of the reps,from a 2 day observation :) i gathered that one of the managers is an espresso drinking Dutch Woman and the rest are English (one of them is due to give birth in a couple of weeks) :)
OMG ,please dont tell me people are still getting taken in with these cards and the low life who give them out. With the publicity they have had over the years I cannot for the life of me believe anyone has not seen it
It's a scam mossy! Ditch it and forget it!
I won't be eligible because i'm resident here but like Blondie said it beggars belief that these schemes are marketed over and over again.:twak:

In some ways you should be grateful. Why? They're easy to spot and are unimaginative.

This con is used all over Europe I know, and probably World Wide.
If You do go Mossy, may I suggest You keep scthum about where You Live
and leave any Credit Card or Cheque Book AT HOME.
Not too many Years ago there was similar around Cristianos.
I found that Each"Salesman" got a sum of Money for each Person Introduced.
I charged 30 Eoros to the Seller, and got a Cheap (yuk) bottle of Vodka.
Time 2 and a half Hours..
I think I won on points.!!!!

Only problem is that if they do pick up on your reluctance to tell them personal details they may well turn quite nasty.
Personally I'd avoid the whole thing altogether.
oh no!! please don't tell me they have returned:( we havn't seen any for 12 months now, someone told us they had all buggered off to thailand or cyprus?
