3 Day 2 Night Vacation from Craftersmarket.com - First Vacation Win

I got the email too. May I suggest viewing the certificate and reading it THOROUGHLY. This ain't no FREE trip - it's gonna cost you - and there's no telling just how much. I'm passing on this one. It was from the Fishbowl giveaways, and I always viewed many of them with skepticism. Sorry if I'm raining on anyone's parade - just don't want anyone to get "taken".

I haven't gotten mine yet. What does it say?
 
you enter the certificate number then look for the button to "view certificate" and you can read all the fine print.

Yes, but I haven't gotten mine yet. That's why I'm wondering what the details are. I just got the original notification.
 
I got the same notification. I have won trips before and they were very legit. They were totally free.This one looks suspicious and I am giving it a pass. Be careful.

What does it say that everyone says is suspicious? I won, but haven't received the voucher yet. Just the initial email.

I got one too and was excited, then skeptical. The email from Crafter's Market and their website and FB page look totally legit, but the company fulfilling the trip sent a spammy looking email that I almost deleted. I Googled the company, GOCRV, and learned that most of what they handle are the "free trip/cruise" that you get after you sit through a hard sell timeshare presentation. I'm not sure if the Crafter's Market just hired them to arrange the vacation, or if somehow they were given the "prizes" in order to get people in the door for the timeshare stuff. When I filled out the form to get the voucher, there is a small charge for the trip, which also doesn't seem right. Tread carefully with this one. I think I will pass on it but plan to call Crafter's Market tomorrow and see what they have to say. Such a bummer for everyone if this is a flop.
 
The email is easy to miss; I almost deleted it since I had not read the one from Crafter's Market saying that I had won a prize. It comes from [email protected] and subject is Gift Redemption. Here's the body of the email, except the voucher info:
