According to the Cook report recently, your thinking is correct (maybe
it wasn't the Cook report, but one of those other consumer programs).

| Could you post the details. I remember hearing something a while ago
about buying a �100 hoover and getting �400 worth or airline tickets.
Whats the full story ?

| Hi all,
Yep, I was just down stairs watching Watchdog and it has been featured
again. I think I will write to the BBC and get a phone number. The
company who is managing the ticket distribution (mis-distribution) is
called Your Leisure. They have been very clever in not leaving a phone
number anywhere.
If I get to the US, I will let you know.
Yours (feeling soar that he has had one put over him)

| 620.6 | No, but there must be millions to choose from | LARVAE::HUGHES | Black Box Operators Rule OKish | Thu Mar 18 1993 09:56 | 11 |
| Andy,
Not any more, I sold it for �10 less then I bought it and on the same
day!!! I did that because I suspect the market in second hand vacuum
cleaners will cave in.
If you need one, there must be millions out there to choose from.
Regards,
Lawrence

| Hi,
The final part of this story. My wife phoned Hoover and the day after,
a Yellow booking Voucher for the airline tickets turned up in the post.

An article in the Sunday papers said that Hoover had done some deals
with airlines, and has purchased 20,000 flights, and hopes this will be
enough to cover demand.

| I wish I'd gone for this deal now! It's on the front page of
almost every newspaper this morning -- the promotion has cost
Hoover �20 million. Three senior executives have been sacked.
