Readers Digest draw
Readers Digest draw
Is this really just one big con.... I wonder if its worth filling in all the forms and rubbish they send: Or should it just go in the bin with all my other junk mail.... |

Re: Readers Digest draw
people always say You have to be in it to win it,
but once you subscribe to this you'll never get out of it IMHO stay well away

Re: Readers Digest draw
I didnt even know readers digest draws were still going
Ive never had anything from them but remember my mum and dad used to get the letters all the time Remember many people saying it was a con though, so personally I would be very wary |

Re: Readers Digest draw
I've received a letter not even addressed to me or this address. They have just written on it "try 31", will just pop it back in the post box

Re: Readers Digest draw
I did one years ago and ended up buying books I did not need... then to send them back costs a fortune so just wondering really if anyone's ever won or done it....

Re: Readers Digest draw
People must win them because you see the photographs of people being presented with their cheques, and there are regulations in place to make sure it's fair.
It always says you are entered in the draw regardless if you buy whatever they are flogging or not, but the cynic in me always think those people who haven't taken up their offer end up in the no win bin.

Re: Readers Digest draw
I was inundate with stuff from Readers Digest after filling a form in, Wonder If Tom Champagne is still in charge of sending out the cheques. Having said that I did get one or two good books from them, but haven't heard from them for years now
