Qype £50 virgin voucher

  • Hey Guys

    We (i.e. Qype, I work for them) just found out today that a few people got missed off the list of voucher recipients a couple of weeks ago.

    We looked into this after a few of you contacted us asking where your vouchers were and our records showed you should have got them.

    So first off: thank you for letting us know!

    And secondly: The 'lost vouchers' are being resent asap.

    We'll email everyone who got missed off the list in the next 24 hours just to let you know individually.

    And third: Sorry. This was good old human error, so we apologise if anyone got inconvenienced.

    Well, thanks for letting me know (I got the email just now). Sadly, I have just today booked flights to the States - the flights I was holding off booking in anticipation of the voucher. To me, the whole exercise was pointless, as I cannot use the voucher for what I specifically planned.

    Shame.

    Secondly: your voucher is on its way. We've sent your name and postal address to Virgin and you should receive your voucher within a week.

    Well I got the email aswell although now I am worrying it will get lost as my mail is being redirected due to moving house and it' s too late to give Qype the new address. Nevermind, I hope it comes then I get some nice things for the new house or just wine to help with the stress of moving lol x

    Ooh, does that mean I was missed out and not just that it's a bit late? Do we need to contact you directly about this so you know who we are?

    I never contacted anyone directly, and have received an email saying that I was missed off.
    Moving onto a better place...Ciao :wave:

    Hello folks

    I just had a thought and I wondered if anyone knows if you can spend the voucher at a virgin outlet store? At our local 'designer' centre, theres an outlet virgin vie store. Hmm what do you think? (that's if I can find £50 of make up that I actually want)!
