If you won a trip somewhere with no meals and transfers from hotel

would you still take the trip? Or what would you do? I won a trip to an all inclusive resort here in the Philippines, but the promoters are saying it may not include all the "inclusions" a normal package at that resort includes. It's so unfair because as soon as I won, I went to their website and saw that everything is included when you stay 3 days and 2 nights. 3 buffet meals per day and all activities in the resort. The resort charges about $280 per person usually and $140 for the plane ride... so my prize is worth about $840. The thing is if it doesn't include food, they charge $20 per meal per person and they are also saying that activities may not be included. I think they should be included because this resort is located in an island with no other resorts in it. Just by itself. Why should I spend so much for a prize?? I am still waiting for the travel agent to tell me what's really included in my prize so I can decide who to take. A friend who I will take for free, or someone who can treat me to food since the plane and hotel is free... I'm a student for Christ's sake.. and I don't have a job... what would you do if you were in my situation and the prize is not transferable and not convertible to cash?

Best thing to do is bring along a friend who's willing to pay for the other charges not covered by your price. Anyway she's only gonna be paying for a small amount compared to what she is suppose to pay if it's not a prize. Or you can probably use the inclusions of your price and then find a place where you can eat and enjoy there without paying too much.
