    Has anyone been able to book using these vouchers over the phone. I tried on friday but then they said I could only use one voucher and I had to visit the centre if I wanted to use more. I just hope they don't say 1 voucher only when I get to the centre.

    @Helix I think it says on the voucher to present it to your instructor or at the centre. Hopefully they will accept more than one per person as I have bought a few to use and not gone to try use them yet as I have an interview tomorrow and hope to pass the theory first. It certainly does *NOT* say one per person on the voucher and noone else has complained of a voucher being rejected as yet.

    Anyone had any problems with vouchers? Or any successes even? Post your feedback pls.

    And oooh you lucky people getting them even cheaper, I am so envious...

    Well I've certainly picked up a few bargains via this forum,but in recent months I tend to find that the minute something's mentioned here it sells out completely in local shops.

    It's catch 22 and I guess mse has become a victim of its own success.
    LOL couldn't agree with you more, back a couple of years ago it was great as you stood a chance of getting something...............but not so much now, especially if you are at work all day! icon9.gif:rolleyes:

    I used 2 packs (8hrs total) in BSM Bath without any issue what so ever. Even used the simulator vouchers as discounts on some extra lessons dispite the fact Bath has a simulator.

    I just popped in in person and 'loaded' them on to an account so I just call them off when I want a lesson. You can't use them over the phone, I was told that much.

    Now alll I need to do is track down another pack or two (Bath Halfords is all out for info) as this is just about making learning to drive affordable (@ 27 I really should have sorted it by now ;)).

    Add to all this that I seem to have struck lucky with a really good (well so far ;)) instructor and I am a happy money saving bunny.

    Dont worry BSM cant reject these its not in no T&C on the voucher , plus if they were £99 each then this is right for 4 hours lessons so its not like your getting something for nothing .....its only cause these were discounted in Halfords but this is Halfords doing and there the ones what would make a loss if any.

    Good luck finding some, if you have more then you need get me a few packs ;).

    However, on a serious note. The L plates are 1/2 magnetic and fairly decent (i.e. they stay on ;))

    Yeah, thats a pity because i got some 1/2 magnetic ones the other day as well.

    Phoned up 3 stores near me, 1 store has 2 of the Kit 2, but im probably going to buy all their Kit 1 as well (hopefully they have a lot, i have phoned twice already so i dont really want to phone again)

    What is everyone doing when they have run out? Buying lessons at full price or can you get a further discount?

    And do you think I could use this as well?

    BSM sells them at Full Price as many as you like, so there should be no problem in them accepting any number of them. Where you got from and at what price would should not be their Problem.

    :D Went in and picked up the ones i reserved, but they actually had more than what they told me on the phone!

    4x Kit 1 £29.96
    4x Kit 2 £69.96

    Thats £99.92 for 12 hours, so its just £8.35 an hour!!!

    Very big thanks to original poster, i just hope my instructor is nice?
