I just found this out and i dont believe it.
Ladybird has moved to the US and is, therefore, not elligable for GADS.

Amazon vouchers are accepted at the .com and .co.uk websites and a letter to the US isnt that much more than to the UK. So why isnt this allowed.

She is a good contributor and I do believe, if my "A" level law serves me correct, legally this counts as discrimination. "Any negative act based around a persons apperiance, ethnicity, religion, or geographical location."

Therefore, I suggest we show a bit of solidarity and try and persuade the staffies to change their policy. If they award gads to Dan for his plagerism then why not ladybird for her regular and useful contributions.

Just post if you agree!!!

I'd hardly call it discrimination, it's up to Freeola who they give there prizes too, whether I disagree or not. It's a shame you don't have an A level in spelling.

Why aren't GADs just emailed?

GAD exists to promote a UK service thus they require a UK address to verify that they're spending money on people who are potential customers.

I'd hardly call a company's policy discrimination. Virtually every competition where prizes are involved has some kind of constraint an entrants, whether it be their location, age or whatever.

The Amazon vouchers sent out can only be used on Amazon.co.uk or Amazon Jersey anyway.

I don't think this was quite the response DoomBaboon was hoping for.

Did you fail your A-Level Law quite badly then?

This came up a few years ago, when there was that Indian chap who won a GAD and then had problems having it shipped over to him or something, right? If my memory serves me well, he attempted to get round it by asking for someone to recieve any prizes in the UK, and then transfer them to him...
