    £175 worth here - Amazon order has been placed :beer:

    I have the time/knowledge and capability to do such a thing and have no regrets about doing so in all honesty.

    It is everyone for themselves these days - nobody gives a monkies about me and my family anymore on the street or online so its free for all.:rotfl:

    Nice attitude - not

    Some people do give a monkeys believe or not. We are not all greedy and out for what we can get not caring about anyone else

  • Doubt hukd will do this again, which is a shame really. Hope you were smart enough to use proxies whoever signed up to hundreds of facebook accounts. I don't think they are just gonna let this slide.

    why is it sad? some people are less fortunate than others and need to make extra money to maybe buy their family christmas presents etc. Im not saying Frugalism is one of these people, but then again maybe they are

    Exactly, how can you distinguish between who really needs it or not. It's a shame because it will probably put them off doing something like this in the future. The less fortunate excuse is a load of bull.

    Because people abusing offers often means companys will never do it again and thus spoil it for everyone else.

    But Hduk/amazon should have put some t+c's on this really.

    it doesnt make any difference to the companies if people abuse it or not. They will still give away the same amount of vouchers. If they cared they would have prevented people from doing this.

    So why is the less fortunate excuse a 'load of bull'. Some people arent able to work but would like to buy presents for their loved ones this christmas and this is an easy and acessible way of doing it. Theres nothing on Amazon or HDUK to say that you cant claim multiple vouchers so whats wrong with it.
  • There is absolutly nothing hduk or amazon can do about the people who have made money out of this. There were no terms and condidtions for starts and the only thing which would get people in trouble for this would be using multiple email and facebook accounts, which at the end of the day will just get deleted.

    Was always going to happen so people who are complaing don't. Yes maybe if everyone was extra kind hearted than nobody would of done this but can you really blame them?

    I'm talking about in the future companys may not do offers again which will spoil it for everyone else. Seen LOADS of times on MSE where people post a freebie, people start abusing it then the company pulls it and won't honour any. Thus the minority spoil it for the majority.

    In this case though, as there is no t+c's, there is nothing to stop anyone but the above is what is 'wrong' with claiming multiples deceptively, in general.

    But no t+c's is hduk own fault.

    They could cancel orders. Like you said no t+c's so they can do that if they like.
