Pizza Hut is no deal.

I just tried getting my 50% off voucher for the Pizza Hut deal thinking,"Well, the kids are back to school next week , we could maybe afford to take them out to Pizza Hut for a bite to eat, especially if there's money off (cushdie!)", only I got to the section where it asks for the county you live in so that you can select your branch of 'The Hut'. Apparently the offer only applies to 'mainland' UK. If you live in Northern Ireland, you don't exist in the eyes of the Pizza Hut Empire. Funny that, I thought we lived in a country of 1 and a 1/2 million potential customers. They can do without our business obviously. I must go and make a batch of potato bread and soda farls. That's what we eat over here, apparently.

    why do you find that so hard to understand?!
  • Frustrating I agree but it works both ways. There have been recent offers on this board which apply to the "Island of Ireland, i.e. Northern Ireland & the Republic of Ireland" but not England, Scotland or Wales.

    At the end of the day, companies are entitled to restrict offers however they like. Don't take it personally, it's probably just logistic reasons or they may be planning a separate campaign for N.I.

    Cest la vie.

  • Hmmm potato farls
  • We in Northern Ireland, are part of the UK, so it sucks a little.
    We have Pizza Hut branches which we need to go through the co.uk site to visit, not the .ie (Irish) ones.

    I applied for it too, but put my local one as Oxford Street, London, as the husband and I are going on a short break and can use it there!

    Hey us in the uk miss out on the fab Guiness freebies!!!:(
  • there are northern ireland pizza huts listed in the offer !!!
    they have put it down as ireland northern ... so once you have selected ireland northern it allows you to choose which pizza hut you want to go to ... they have quite a few ...
    hope that helps

    Oooh careful, don't go upsetting anyone. N.I is part of U.K.

    U.K. = Great Britain & Northern Ireland.

    But I know what you mean, it all gets kind of confusing doesn't it.

    I was in Jersey the other day and I thought they were U.K. but technically they are not. They are however part of the "British Isles", hmmm so what about Falklands, Gibraltar......etc geez wish I'd listened more carefully to that Geography teacher now........ hmmmm no i don't.



    Just found on wonderful worldwide web, not that I'm bored or anything lol

  • I have tried for ages to get the great Guinness freebies but to no avail.

    Also, don't you get free water rates in N.I.? I would willingly forego a Pizza Hut freebie to get my water for free.
