Thanks MT,

I know that, should I run into difficulty with my request for the holiday, that there are sufficient people who would have seen the competition - as it was originally posted, should there be any issues.

As at writing this, I am still awaiting direct contact with Best Flights. I shall update this site accordingly.

Best Flights,

Incidentally, this competition, according to the new terms and conditions, does not commence until 6 November 2010.

I believe that this means that this competition, should also have been placed in the correct section (Up-coming Competitions). Therein, I believe that this would have given adequate time to make any adjustments on this site prior to this competition commencing.

Just one more justification to file my complaint to the proper government authority (allowing for the 7 days to resolve my issue).

Have a lovely weekend.

Regards,

snuggle1

thanks for pointing out the start date snuggle1 - moving to upcoming comps now :thumbup:

just highlighting this for anyone that's already gone over and liked them -

b.“Liking” Best Flights on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Best-Flights/ 108035992558421 during the Promotional Period (participants must be logged in to Facebook for this link to work.)

so you'll have to 'unlike' and relike after Nov 6

As at writing this, I have not had any direct communication whatsoever. Consequently, I will abide by my previous statement and file a report with the relevant Western Australian authority.


Regards,

snuggle1
