its not an email check into your account

I've looked in again to my account and they still show 10 orders placed, 2 processing and 1 is awaiting stock. How long was it before you were banned ( from placing the order helen21?)

Shall we have a wager on it?

I'll bet you one £5 play voucher (that no longer works) that I get banned...

I think they should deduct all our savings from the poor IT chap who forgot to put conditions on the use of the new set of codes, looks like he won't be getting a Christmas bonus!

If they ban everyone that used the 'universal' codes there will be no one left to shop on their site.

For those trying to catch up with the thread:

I guess the main point is that no one who has used the codes has had their orders posted (just processing). If you used all of them then they might take further action (ban you).

I think we'll know later tonight if they are going to honour any orders placed.

Just received this

It has come to our attention that you have used more than one Daily
Mirror
Voucher on your account. Contained in the Terms and Conditions is a
clause
which states that only one voucher per applicant may be used.

Sadly, with this in mind, we have cancelled any outstanding orders on
your
account which have been purchased using a voucher. We do this under
clause
11 of the Terms and Conditions which give us the right to refuse any
voucher redemption if we suspect any fraud or malredemption.

Please be advised that your account has not be closed and it is still
possible to make additional purchases, should you wish to.


Kind Regards

Play
But over the phone they said my account had been closed and i would NOT be able to buy from them again

People should really know by now not to go OTT when offers like this come through - using all the codes available was a bit much and not really in the spirit of MSE at all - one or two then fine but using all of them - well its no wonder people are getting banned etc etc

I didn't order anything to get them free, my order was over £200 in total, I was using the codes for discount against expensive games.
In fact one of them with the £5 off was only a saving of £1 because it was advertised on another site. I am sure there must still be some profit in it for them or why would they offer it in the first place?

Had the same thought binz. Its the bright spark regular customers who have used these codes. Ban everyone and they've done themselves up like a christmas turkey read for the administrators.

However, I suspect they'll only come down hard on the obvious larger scale user's of vouchers.

It's Play's loss if they start banning people. They could have just cancelled the orders and kept a (potentially!) valuable customer.

I ordered a dvd yesterday and that is still showing as processing on my BANNED account, but ordered a couple of books today and these have been cancelled P.s these were not freebies there was a balnce to pay on each item, was never even given the opportunity to pay for them, which i would have done
