:wave: hey again! lol
wow, you would think that a travel site would be a little more organized and not let the details slip through the cracks....
while your trip is a blessing, those are a few major inconveniences. when i receive everything i'll definately end up double checking it.
i hope everything pulls through for you as well!
also i have to admit you are right-communication does work both ways. they finally contacted me back today and are trying to get everything done as fast as possible now which im very grateful for. however, i'm going to try to be a bit more patient and cross my fingers that they pull through.
:cheers: thanks for the advice and also, congrats on your future trip!

:sunny: There are some sponsors that are really good at geetting the trip wins together and information sent out. Others, not so good. I was selected as a winner in the Orbitz 50 faves. Received my notification back in May sent everything back and was confirmed within a dayWhen . Just today I finally received a trip packet. As i'm reading the information inside they say my trip includes 5 nights at the Renaissance Aruba Resort and Casino with breakfast included daily. This is also what was advertised as the prize. When I open up the enclosed envelop with the resort information, it is a certificate for the Marriott Aruba with 1 dinner certificate. I emailed them again today to try to get it cleared up so I can start making plans. The typed letter says I have until May 31, 2013 to book my travel, but the resort certificate that was sent expires on Dec. 20th. So now I will be waiting some more. And this was won thru a travel site.
When I won a trip to Disney World thru Hanes, everything went as smooth as can be. I sent back the paperwork with the dates I wanted to go and received my trip packet shortly after with no problems and everything taken care of. I didn't have to do anything except pack my suitcase and go. All trips wins should go this well.
Some of my other trips just had a few simple problems and not alot of waiting involved. You really have to learn to be patient but also communicate with them when things aren't going as they have communicated to you.
Best of luck to you! Don't give up, it will happen.
