I was pleased to win a £500 prize…
I was pleased to win a £500 prize through 7Days Performance, but my experience afterwards left me very disappointed.
My winning email stated:
"£500 Cash End Prize – SPEND £1, WE'LL MAKE IT £1,000!"
I understood this to mean that if I spent £1 after receiving the email, my prize would increase to £1,000. I did exactly that.
I was then told that the £1 had to be spent within the same transaction as claiming the free entry. 7Days explained that this requirement was in the competition terms shown when entering the draw, but it was not mentioned in the winning email I received.
I appreciate that they maintain the terms were available and have explained their position. However, I feel the wording of the winning email could easily be interpreted differently, which is why I believed I had qualified for the £1,000 prize.
I'm sharing my experience so others know to read all the competition terms carefully before entering and not rely solely on the wording in the winning email.
