Has anyone else had one of these cards through the post purporting to be a competition to win prizes, only to be told you have won "Discounted Hi Life Membership for 12 months" @ the price of £29.95. This is not a prize, it is advertising. Have any of you won anything FREE with this one.

No I haven't, but I did receive a thank you card from AgeUK for knitting Innocent Smoothie bobble hats. I would have preferred them to save the postage money for their cause.
I get fed up with being told that I have a prize waiting to be claimed. Apparently in April there will be a new scheme whereby we shall be able to chose on line which companies we do or do not wish to receive mail from. This means the few brochures I like to receive will not be excluded.Sounds good if it works!

Yes! I had one too. I suspect that all the "prizes" will be advertising. I'm not going to bother with it again. Life's too short!

The only things I have received from EDF are large bills and a rather tacky 2012 Olympics pin smile
