    Hi

    Sorry for the delay in responding – we have been inundated with applications which do not meet the stipulated criteria and so we have had to sort through them manually.

    Thank you for your patience.

    We will be sending the vouchers to “qualifying” entries shortly.


    Kind regards

    Looking at the email reply posted early to qualify you had to be a reader, register in the set dates but ALSO Apparently you had to opt in to the newsletter to qualify as well? I can't see anything about having to get newsletter in the originally T&C's??

    I did not apply however my sister who lives in London and gets the Tube in to work each day and reads Timeout applied but has received an email offering 3 x £3 vouchers saying she didn't qualify for the £8.75 voucher. When she signed up she opted not to receive the newsletter so it looks like they have used this not to give her her voucher. Bit of a cop out if you ask me.

    How about a list of £3 items from CDWOW so we don't have to spend any cash and can just get freebies?

    Had a look in the bargain basement for the CDs and DVDs but cheapest is £5.99.

    Do you even watch Watchdog?

    Do you really think they would do anything about something so petty as a free voucher? They help people with issues that have damaged and offended people, whether that be financially or even emotionally and physically.

    A few years back my wife and I took up contents insurance with Tesco. They were offering shopping vouchers at the time for anyone who took up Insurance. When we didn't receive the vouchers within a few months, (and our letters were falling on deaf ears) my wife wrote to Watchdog. Less than a fortnight later, we received an apologetic letter from Tesco (quoting the Watchdog letter) with extra vouchers added for our inconvenience.
    The moral of this tale ? don't flame people when you clearly know nothing about the issue they're posting about. Despite your protestations, this is actually a very similar issue.

    Does anybody know if the 3 x £3.00 vouchers have an expiry date? from memory the original offer of the £8.75 voucher stated that it had to be used by 14th March?

    And if I really were an angel, I'd float over your bed
    Each night a different dream of me I'd plant inside your head
    And if I were an angel, I tell you what I'd do
    I'd appear in a vision and I'd give my wings to you
