Wabbadabba issue unusable vouchers

pinkichiban

I recently won a £5 amazon gift voucher from a search on Wabbadabba. I was looking forward to spending. I received the voucher and when I try to add it to my amazon account I am told this voucher has already been redeemed. I have sent two emails to Wabbadabba and have received no reply. Any suggestions?

Having a quick look at the T&C's of the site:

A condition of a winner receiving a prize, is that the winner agrees to the terms and conditions of the respective third party sponsor that will be providing the prize (the identity of the respective third party sponsor (the “Third Party Sponsor”) will be announced to winners). If you are awarded a prize, you acknowledge that you will be entering into a contract with the respective Third Party Sponsor (and not with Add Momentum Limited) in respect of receiving such prize, and such contract will govern your rights and obligations in respect of such prize. You also agree that all issues in respect of any prizes which are successfully claimed by you, must be addressed by you directly with the respective Third Party Sponsor (and not with Add Momentum Limited), pursuant to your contract with such third party.

This would suggest your first step is to check with amazon, give them the details and see what they say.

Thankyou, I'd not read the old T&C's. What a pain in the you know what. I'll chase it up with amazon, but I think Wabbadabba can go take a jump!

After several e-mails to Amazon, they now say I need to speak to Wabbadabba. Wabbadabba do not reply to emails...

Ping pong between Wabbadabba and Amazon, I wonder how long this will take? I intend to keep going more on principle than anything else. The value of the £5 voucher is ebbing away...

Wabbadabba are just totally ignoring all my emails. I will post letter via snail mail, I guess I should do some kind of recorded mail, but this makes the voucher worthless. Do Not recommend Wabbadabba they do not pay out...

I've also noticed that their "Latest Win" ticking clock is misleading because it gives the impression they're giving out more prizes than they're actually giving out.

When nobody has won for more than 24 hours the clock resets itself to zero but still displays the name of the last winner. So for instance it says "Joe Bloggs won 1 hour and 10 minutes ago" when in fact Joe Bloggs won 25 hours and 10 minutes ago.
