Dubai Excites Me

Gill - Isle of Wight

After a very tiring journey – with non-direct flights via Milan – we arrived at the Hilton Jumeirah Beach at 9 am. Although check-in wasn’t until 2 a room was quickly found for us and we just climbed straight into bed and slept until 2. The hotel and room were superb – we had a giant bed which could have comfortably slept four people!  When we finally explored the hotel ...    [... more ... ]

 

My Holiday to Stockholm 

Sylvia - Cardigan

In early September we took our trip to Stockholm, using the pair of SAS flights I won in March. We'd booked a hotel over the internet, using as part payment £300 worth of Thomson vouchers I had won in another competition. Visitors are always told that the best way to see all the sights is to buy a Stockholm Card, which allows free entry to a variety of museums and attractions     [... more ... ]
 

Aloah Hawaii!

Karen - Warwick

At home Easter 2006 - no, not our usual wet and windy week in Wales, but Aloha Hawaii, courtesy of a slogan written way back in August.  14 little words flew my husband, daughter and me half way around the world and into five star luxury at the Hilton Hawaiian Village on Waikiki Beach.    [... more ... ]

 

Holiday for 2 to Australia 

Tracy - Southampton

We arrived in Sydney late in the evening. It was so nice to walk out of the airport into a lovely warm breeze to the sound of cicadas and Lorikeets.  We started exploring early the next day and took in the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour which was buzzing with .    ...... .......   ........   still can’t believe all this happened thanks to one winning slogan and if I never win anything ever again, this trip will keep me entering comps for years to come!   [... more ... ]
 

 

Rock, Shop & Recover (London-Paris-Cannes)

Jackie - Leigh

This has to be one of best wins I have ever won, it was really fantastic.

Friday 22nd April first class train to London, we were given a £20 allowance for a taxi to get to the 5 star Langham Hotel in Regent Street.  It made a nice change going first class and we made the most of it!!  We arrived at London at about 5pm and got taxi to Hotel, it only cost £5 in taxi !  We got changed in  our executive room     [... more ... ]

 

Hot Air Balloon Flight 

Sylvia - Cardigan

The ascent was very smooth and we hardly seemed to be moving, as we glided silently along. Everybody was quiet, just taking in the wonderful views. Sometimes the pilot brought the balloon down low and we skimmed across the tree tops and could hear dogs barking and lambs bleating, then he went up higher and we saw a large portion of South Wales spread out before us .... .... .... .....  I wouldn't hesitate to take another one (I have already entered several comps to win one). David and I agreed that it was a fantastic experience.    [... more ... ]

 

Short Break in Iceland

Chrissie - New Forest

I don’t even know which competition it was that resulted in a letter from Protravel saying I had won three nights for two in Reykjavik from the E45 Promotion. But it became real last Thursday when, after a short flight,we took our first glimpse of this still-young country .... .... .... .... .... What an experience!   And as there’s a comp at the moment to win a holiday in Iceland, who knows who’ll be next?  [... more ... ]

 

Coca-Cola FIFA World Cup™ Tour!

Roland  - Telford

There was an inter-activity session followed by an Audience with Wayne Rooney (Manchester United and England). He was accompanied by Peter Shilton (former England goalkeeper), Mark Lawrenson (former Ireland international, now BBC football pundit), and BBC presenter Ray Stubbs.  .... .... .... .... ....  It was the first time this new trophy has been seen in Britain - and I was there were for the prestigious unveiling. So exciting! And a priceless prize.   [... more ... ]

 

Our Vegas Trip.  

Dee - Sleaford

We set off from Gatwick aboard a DC10 on the long flight to Minneapolis/St Paul (the twin Cities). We had a really good flight with only a little turbulence. Leaving behind snow showers in England   .... .... .... .... ....  This fantastic prize has whetted my appetite for more travel. My life has been totally transformed since Ive been comping with Dotcomper, Good Luck to everyone else and remember your next win is only just around the corner. So keep at it.    [... more ... ]

 

The Incredible Incredibles Premiere!!!

Diane - Sutton

What I love about this excellent hobby is that, from the moment you send off that form or fill in your E Mail address or postcard you feel that maybe, just this once, you may win!

Well that is exactly what happened when I received a WTC from Beuna Vista on Thursday 4th November. The excitment grew when she said that the tickets would be delivered by courier at my workplace the following day!

My Son Vida Experience.  

Jane - Thanet

Still coming down from the my trip to Mallorca.  Everything ran very smoothly and we were picked up at Palma Airport in a chauffer driven Mercedes. It was quite a thrill to see the uniformed chauffer holding up a card with MY name on it.

Soon we arrived at the Castillo Son Vida. I have stayed in a few hotels in my time, but this was, by far the most impressive ...

Ibiza Escape!

Britt - Lincoln

Before our win, we had never really considered visiting Ibiza, as we had expected it would be full of clubbers, and beautiful young people wearing little more than a smile and a tan. And true enough, if you stuck to the main resorts, that’s exactly what it was. But we soon discovered there is another Ibiza that is both unspoilt, quiet and well worth a visit.    [... more ... ]

 

Best prize ever 

Wendy - Weardale

We have just come back from our weekend at the Newcastle Baltic Quays apartment. It was lovely.. two bedrooms, two bathrooms , kitchen, and a living room directly overlooking the millenium blinking eye bridge, then Flowers, champagne, chocs, and a chauffeur driven limo to Vujon, a fantastic indian restaraunt on saturday night.
Best of all it was on the seventh floor, with a balcony overlooking the millennium bridge

Athens

Kate - Southampton

Arrived home in the early hours of this morning - exhausted but very happy! What a wonderful time we had. Here is a (very long) account of our trip - hope it doesn't bore you too much!!

Arrived at Heathrow on Saturday morning and whilst checking in for our flight at the Olympic Airways desk, we met two other couples who had also won their trip in the same comp (there were 5 prizes altogether). Great flight -

Somerfield Romania Ski Holiday  

Rose - Stafford

Must be our best ski holiday ever !!  We have had the most incredible time and would recommend it to anyone. We arrived on Saturday evening after a very comfortable flight and pleasant transfer to find that there was plenty of a snow in Poiana Brasov. The hotel was really nice with lovely spacious rooms and as we were on the first floor, at the front, with a huge balcony, we had wonderful views  [... more ... ]

 

My Hong Kong holiday!

Sharon - Sheffield

Arrived back yesterday morning, still jetlagged.  It was the best holiday I've been on!!!

We flew to Hong Kong with Cathay Pacific, the meal was OK - usual veggie option.  We had a smooth 12 hour flight and landed in Hong Kong at about 10ish their time.  We met the other couple who we were told were on the same flight, apparently a friend of theirs won the hol and gave it to them anyway - they were a lovely couple

My Sloggi Training Day  

Lyn - Southampton

Hi everyone thought I would tell you how my recent win went!  As you know after winning this prize I was unsure wether my husband would actually come with me! Anyway after much bullying and threatening to take this cute Rugby player at work he finally agreed to go.

We arrived at the 5* Pennyhill Park just before midday on Saturday the 23rd July. We signed in and were given kits etc

My day at the Palace

Gill -Isle of Wight

We got to London just before 12 and headed straight for our favourite haunt – the Hard Rock Café. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed due to a recent fire and won’t be open until September. Happily we found a pub round the corner and had a spot of lunch before making our way across Green Park to the Palace. There were loads of ladies in their posh frocks and   .... .... .... .... ....     [... more ... ]

 

Disney World Florida 

Jet - Edinburgh

Disney World was everything we'd hoped for and more. We all had a great time courtesy of my win with Cathedral City. It was fantastic from start to finish and I still can’t believe that all this has come from this wonderful hobby of ours. I never imagined I would win something like this. My expectation was perhaps to win a DVD or a book or two if I was lucky and I truly never expected that I would win a holiday so I had to keep pinching myself to remind me that this was real.   [... more ... ]

 

How it all began!!

Dot - Nottingham

We haven’t always been into “Comping”.  Before we saw "the light", the only comper we were aware of was my father, who had been entering competitions for as long as I could remember.  We used to find it all rather "quaint" and slightly pointless, especially as all he ever seemed to win were T-shirts and T-towels!  That was until that fateful Christmas some fourteen years ago when my mum bought him the comping game   .... .... .... .... ....     [... more ... ]
