    It appears you can add any item retailing at £13.50 or over and the discount will apply. Saw something nice for £14 (£4 inclusive of shipping after discount), BUT...
    We may telephone you to tell you about special offers or for market research and customer care purposes. If you do not want to receive such calls please write to the Data Protection Unit, LX Direct, Staley Avenue, Crosby L72 OLG stating your wish to be removed from the telephone mailing list. If you do not want to receive mailings from Littlewoods Shop Direct Home Shopping Limited please write to the same address and state your wish to be removed from the direct mailing list. Please allow up to 28 days to process written requests.

    There's no option to opt out of market research phone calls, and I can't change the delivery address. Sounds like a lot of hassle. :( For me, the tenner saved isn't worth having my details sold on. Good luck to anyone who tries though!!

    Just use a made up number :confused:
    Not that I'll be using them because on other forums in the past they haven't honoured the discount.

    It won't let me pay on my card, and wants me to open a credit account :confused:

    Edit: I found out how to use my card, except it won't accept Electron. Oh well. Thanks anyway:)

    Just phone up and order over the phone. That is what I did.
    There is a freephone number 0800123131.
    At least that way you will know that the discount has been applied.
    Don't forget to tell them you have a voucher code though :)

    The reason for above is that I used my work address, they will only ship to home address. They won't even do it if you are paying for order completely..... will have to stick with companies that have no problem sending to other addresses.
  • oh well, at least some folk are happy :D

    Sorry to all the folk who didn't get anywhere, I got the offer in an email which I just thought I'd share :D
    I have no more money to give - all you companies out there - do your worst - I give in!! :(
  • oh and I forgot to answer the other folks - I don't know if it works on other areas of the site I'm afraid - it was that item in particular I was sent it for.

    Happy Christmas, and happy saving folks :D
