    Yes, I did use the codes but as I mentioned I then cancelled the orders. Yes it seemed like a good idea at the time but after feeling guilty about scamming a company who have never caused me any problems I cancelled the orders.

    Undeservedly Play could get into financial trouble over this, people could lose their jobs and to me saving £5 just isn't worth it.
    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: You mean you felt guilty after reading this and then knowing you'de get caught :rotfl: :rotfl: Me too :rotfl: :rotfl:
  • Got excited then as just got an email from them saying one had been posted.
    Unfortunately it is one that had paid for in full and which had been out of stock from a few weeks ago.

    My little heart can't take the excitement, hee hee!
    :T Benjamin has won!!! Am soooo proud. Thank you to everyone who agreed my baby was the cutiest. Want to go round and hug everyone who voted, it means so much to me!:A

    They used them the same as the rest of us. I personally did not think I was doing anything wrong. I presumed they had a certain number of "prizes" of £5 and when they ran out that was the end of the offer.
    That's how I looked at it and I didn't try to buy anything for myself - it was all Christmas pressies.

    Play might have financial difficulties after this, but I have them right now.

    I dont mean to sound patronising but some people are a bit naive! Do you really think a company as large as Play.com would get into financial trouble from even a hundred people making tens or even hundreds of pounds from an offer? It is very much a drop in a very large bucket.
    Save the sympathy for small companies! No one is going to loose their job over this!! Well only perhaps those who are reading this thread instead of working :rotfl:

    i have christmas to buy for and then either side of christmas i have 5 birthdays including my daughters so i took a opportunity to buy decent presents at a knock down price the same as i do at tescos boots etc.. so everything i ordered was spoken for .. i didnt order 13 etc.. but i did order a few and told others abt the universal codes... so if anyone ordered items for £4.99 just to use up the codes shame on you ..

    All mine are still processing - been catching up on the thread from last night!!

    I used the codes to save a little bit of money off of things I was already buying. I know people have felt guilty or thought they would get caught and banned, but you really shouldn't feel guilty about Play - they makes millions these fivers here and there would not make a dent!!!

    Anyway, if they cancel my orders I'll just take my custom to DVD.co.uk whose service is equally good.

    PS.
    If you're reading this Mr Play, please post my xmas presents - they are for orphans (I promise). :p
    I'm so sexy it's a wonder my underpants don't explode.
