I don't mean to burst your bubble, but I think it is a scam. I am not say that they might not send you somewhere, but I know there is some kind of catch to it

I would call and get more info

Re: i won!!!

DON'T GO!!!!! IT'S A SCAM AND A HALF!!! You go there and listen to this VERY creepy little man talk about cookware, VERY EXPENSIVE cookware for over an hour!!! Then when he is finally done you get the gift card thingy, but it is only good on this one website and that site has CRAP!!! You won't want ANY OF IT!!! And the vacation you can only go certain places certain times of the year! NOT WORTH IT!!!! DON'T GO!!!

Re: i won!!!

if they tell you you have to go to some hotel in islandia to claim your prize, it's most likely a scam. let us know what they say.

Re: i won!!!

I got the call too!

A friend of mine worked for that company a few years back.
The way it works in this:
Every single bride that fills out the little card at the entrance door gets a phone call from them, they call brides from all over the country.
They tell you that you won this vacation, and that all you have to do is pay for the airfare, what they don't tell you till they get more info is that you have to go to a different seminar EACH day, i.e. informercials for pots. You don't have to buy anything, but you have to go or they charge you for the stay.
