ENDED! Seek Santa for a chance to win £100 or £200

Terms & conditions

1. This prize draw is open to residents of the UK aged 18 years or over, except employees of the Money Supermarket group (including MoneySavingExpert.com), or family members of such employees. In order to take part in the prize draw, entrants must have a MoneySavingExpert.com Forum account, which is enabled for posting (those who wish to enter but who do not presently have a MoneySavingExpert.com Forum account can register for one, free of charge, at forums.moneysavingexpert.com/register.php).

2. Details of how to enter form part of the terms and conditions. It is a condition of entry that all rules are accepted as final and that the entrant agrees to abide by these rules. The decision of the Promoter is final and no correspondence will be entered into. The Promoter reserves the right to modify the Promotion at any time without prior notice.

3. Nine reindeer icons and one bonus Santa Claus icon will be hidden around the www.moneysavingexpert.com website from 11.00am (UK-time) on Thursday 19th December 2013, each carrying a unique code and name. In respect of each unique code and name, the first MoneySavingExpert.com Forum member to post that code and name to the designated MoneySavingExpert.com Forum thread (at http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?p=64026641#post64026641) (the “Designated Thread”) will win a prize of a cheque for £100.

The Forum member who posts the code of the bonus Santa Claus icon (and the name “Santa”) on the “Designated Thread” will win a prize of a cheque for £200 (there are nine prizes of £100 each under this prize draw and one prize of £200, one per unique code). In order to win one of the prizes, entrants must post the unique code and name exactly as they appear on the reindeer (or the code and “Santa” if posting the bonus code). They must be the first forum member to successfully post this information to the Designated Thread. The time-stamp on the MoneySavingExpert.com Forum post will be decisive as to which forum member has successfully posted first, and the Promoter’s decision will be final as to whether a given post contains the unique code and name exactly as they appear on the reindeer or Santa Claus icon.

4. The prize draw will open at 11.00am (UK-time) on Thursday 19th December 2013, and will end at either 11.00am (UK-time) on Thursday 26th December 2013, or when all ten unique codes and names have been posted to the Designated Thread, whichever is sooner (“Closing”).

5. Each winner will be contacted by the Promoter via the MoneySavingExpert.com Forum’s Private Message facility. The winners will be required to respond within seven days of being contacted, confirming the payee name (to whom the cheque should be made out) and the address to which the cheque should be sent. If the winner fails to do so, the Promoter reserves the right to award that prize to an alternative winner in accordance with these terms and conditions (i.e. to the second person to post that unique code to the Designated Thread, followed by the third, and so-on).

6. A maximum of one prize is available per person and/or household. The Promoter reserves the right to withhold a prize or prizes if, in its fair judgement, it appears that the same person or same household has ‘won’ more than one prize, and/or to require reasonable proof from the winner(s) in question that they are not the same person and/or do not share a household.

7. Late, incomplete, corrupt entries, or entries sent through agencies and third parties, will not be accepted. No responsibility can be accepted for lost entries. The Promoter in particular cannot accept any responsibility for delayed entries due to device or internet connectivity issues.

8. Promoter: MoneySavingExpert.com Limited, 19-22 Rathbone Place, London, W1T 1HY
