To take the plunge or not (littlewoods online)

Hello, newbie here.

On a different forum I've just seen people buying various video games (worth £30+) for £4 due to bargain codes being leaked over the internet. I have heard it happen before with Littlewoods online.

Sounds nice doesn't!

However, some people on the site have claimed you occasionally get over-charged. I am very weary about this and was wondering if anyone has any experience on the matter?

It would be greatly appreciated if you could tell me. The code has expired now however, in future I would like to invest in total confidence.

Thanks ;)

    I have used loads of codes in past without any problem but others have had loads of problems. When I buy anything with a code I only go ahead and do so if I am happy to buy the item at the full price of code is removed.

  • register with the sites you are interested in but dont place an order, they will then start to send you the codes, the longer you hold off ordering the better the codes will get. then if you did get overcharged you could ring them up and they would refund you as the code was actually issued to you.

    We used a code last year that discounted £25 off a first shop with Littlewoods so all the family did the same. Almose 3months later Littlewoods tried to claim this amount back and said we did not qualify for the discount. Whilst we eventually won our case this was a stressful time which we would not recommend for others.
