Hi all
Got one of those phone calls today saying "You have won our Fiji Competition", and you immediately think is a "Nigerian" scam or "what strings are attached"!. I did initially.
Anyways, Amex had rung my mobile to let me know I was one of the 3 lucky winners of the Fiji holiday competition
See here https://amexnetwork.com.au/fijiholiday/terms.html
Didn't go into too much detail other than that they will be in further contact with details, and it would appear in the Australian on 23 May ! All sounds hunky dory as the competition was drawn yesterday, and they knew my details.
Only found out about the AmexNetwork through OzBargain, in particular the Coles Express voucher - www.ozbargain.com.au/node/30922
I go back from time to time to see what's on there, got myself a Rebel Sports voucher worth $30 and entered the Fiji competition ! Thus thanks to Jason101 for posting the original AmexNetwork deal for Coles Express, otherwise there would have been no holiday!
Cheers

Sep10 was the coles voucher, the Fiji holiday comp was just before Easter I think
another $7k to declare on your tax return :(
Congrats Coops. Didn't think prizes were taxable?
quite possibly, i'm not a tax expert. i just remember seeing mentioned that prizes might have tax implications everywhere. i've never won anything.
Things like that are deemed a windfall - not taxable.
Congrats BTW - I think it's only fair that you take Jason101 to Fiji with you. ;p
On at least bring him back a fijian as a souvenir
Love OZbargain, the only place you are made aware of the possible tax implications of a prize you just won :)
I don't believe it is taxable. It's not really investment related. http://www.ato.gov.au/content/00217569.htm There is a note in the t&c on the amex page but it is a standard inclusion on all these types of things
Quite sure it's not taxable.
I think you owe jason101 a round of drinks.Cheers and enjoy the holiday!
Nice one! :) - love a good ozB story :)
