I Won!!! Bridal Show prize - Is this a scam?

I won the prize from The Wedding Center for a free vacation or cruise. And then I just noticed in my bag i got last night that I won again and got an envelope in the bag with the same prize.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I will go there and find out the info, but still psyched that I won :) Thats fun at least!

Thank you

I won the same thing. I went their to redeem it and of course the tried to sell me everything under the sun. I basically told them I'm happy with the vendors I have, thankyouverymuch. Then they gave me the cruise literature...there's a whole bunch of blackout dates and such and I haven't read the fine print but it looks legit.

The cruise is with Carnival cruise line...I don't know anything about the hotel stay since I took the cruise.

If you go, just don't let them bully you into anything...they tried to find out how much I am paying for photo and then tried to tell me they could give me a better deal...I just kept saying I'm not looking for whatever vendor they were trying to throw in my face.

I won also the same night Ilana did actually. Not realizing we 'won' he then tried to give us two more if we booked certain things from them. We haven't tried to redeem anything though. Has anyone actually done so?

That is funny! Did anyone go on one of the vacations yet? Where is the cruise to? It is nice if it good and can be used even if not for a honeymoon.

Thanks for responding

That happened to me too! I thought I had won and was so excited because I never win anything! Unfortunately it turned out to be a hoax. I googled the phone number they game me and I wasn't the only bride that this happened to.

They are all to the Caribbean, I think there is one out of LA...it'd probably be good as a separate vacation. You still have to pay port fees/taxes and for the 5 night cruise that's almost $1000...plus they put you in an interior room and those always make me cramped and claustrophobic so I'd want to upgrade...but that's $$$ too.

It adds up pretty quick. But then again FH and I are paying almost $5000 for our 9-night honeymoon cruise so I guess a fifth of that for 5 nights is a good deal.
