1 Ct Diamond Tennis Bracelet.
Q.Notice that two of the prizes are "A Hawaiian Holiday" and "A Jeweled Tennis Bracelet", and it seems they didn't offer you the cash value of these prizes? Now, use your imagination, how much is "A Hawaiian Holiday" worth which includes three nights in a flop in Honolulu, no travel, no food etc? Even if it's a more reputable hotel how many people will take them up on it if it doesn't include travel to/from Hawaii? And what exactly is "A Jeweled Tennis Bracelet"? Wouldn't a $5 rhinestone piece of junk qualify? Not bad if they get you to buy $550 in luggage for either.
A.I just got the standard promotional postcard in the mail, "you are absolutely guaranteed at least one (1) of the following five awards for participating in our National Promotion", etc. a jeweled tennis bracelet; a $2k cashier's check.) I called the marketing company running the program, who explained you had to buy a 5-piece luggage set for $550 (5 year warranty, S/H included) and send them a happy promotional photo of you and the luggage, and they would randomly pick an award and send it to you (plus a $199 diamond designer watch from Oleg Cassini, whoever that is). I also called Olympia directly (in Jackson, MI) and got similar info, including the fact that they are handling 50-100 such orders daily. They didn't provide a cash value, claiming it varied seasonally. o the bracelet is nominally "10 Ct. Diamond and Sapphire", comes with a certificate (of some no doubt useless variety), and the marketeer on the phone claimed (heh) retail of $2100. Given that's the price of a good half-carat diamond.
