I'm wondering what people think of competitions for family holidays with blackout periods including all school holiday periods. Am I right that all school-aged children are legally required to be in school so technically these prizes are for something that can't be legally used?

That's a good point but I"m thinking it's no different to black out dates being over Christmas etc, People could state that they get time off work at those times. I don't think the company would care, and if I won an overseas trip and had to take my kids out of school for it, I'd do it lol.

I have noticed that too Jrob71. I would love to win a holiday but often the date restrictions rule me out between work and kids. Some only give you a few weeks notice and my lifestyle at the moment is not that flexible.

I wouldn't mind if some of the holidays were blacked-out like Christmas and Easter but one I saw recently was for a seven day local (within Australia) holiday for 2 adults and 2 kids but Christmas, Easter, all school holidays and October long weekend were blocked out leaving no possible travel times when the kids weren't supposed to be in school.
