    Hi, thanks for this. I've got two reservations but was wondering if anyone has successfully returned the spiderman item and received an exchange? Obviously not expecting a refund, (i'd pee my pants laughing all the way to the bank if they did, esp after last wkends 'glitch'!!!! ;):D ) But don't really need the spiderman set, not 2 anyway, but beats paying £25 for the umbro kit!

    I collected my 4 items today (umbro bag and Fifi TV)and 2 spidermen,when i went to self serve the freebies came up full price but a amanger came over and sorted it out for me. They passed no comment at all about the cost,just said there were so many bogofs and offers, the system could not keep pace.!

    Edit to add the glitch is still working!!

    it was the spiderman nerf toy and the umbro football set (should be £12.49 for spidey and £24.99 for footie set) but the dearer 1s were going through free then i'm asuming she used a £10 voucher wen u spend £100 from a previous buy x

    Sorry should have made it more clear...
    I had a 10 pound argos voucher from the spend £100 get £10 voucher promo..
    so used that to purchase the spiderman toy and the football set so after the glitch (getting the higher priced item free) my bill come too 2.49p
    spiderman £12.49
    football starter set £0.00
    minus the voucher
    = £2.49p to pay and happy me!

    saved 24.99p for the football set
    saved 10.00 from the voucher!
