    I was going to buy off Littlewoods, on the basis I like the dress and would probably pay for it if I didn't have the code... but whenever I try to checkout, it randomly flicks me back a few pages for no apparent reason. Very suspicious - think I'll keep my card details to myself, thanks.

    Just ordered 3 for 2 on gifts and the discount worked fine....£2.95 for three nice gifts!! Thanks OP.
  • I was given the code this morning by a family friend so I used it to order a few bits for christmas. After reading the terms and conditions I got slightly worried so contacted littlewoods. They told me the voucher code shouldn't have gone through and that there is a minimum spend of £50. Also if the code wasn't given specifically to you they will claim the money back. I have since cancelled my orders as its to risky. I do hope that people that have ordered will be ok but they have told me that the code will bounce upon dispatch and the full amount taken. Be very careful as the saying goes if it sounds too good to be true it probably is !! They also said that they are quite within their rights to claim the money back as it is fraud.

    Does anyone know how can you get these vouchers issued directly to you, so that there wouldn't be that issue of not elligible? I signed up to littlewoods mailing list before hoping they would send me some but they never did. Is it if you shop with them regularly or something?
    I don't really wanna risk it with a code that they will probably claim back, but I would like to get some issued directly to me :D

    It takes a while, but if you ask for a catalogue to be sent to you then don't order from it, they send you incentives such as these.

    Be VERY careful otherwise, I would NOT use an unauthorised code. Here's a link which explains exactly what happened with Littlewoods codes before. Martin Lewis had to step in and Littlewoods said they wouldn't make allowances again:

    I've never used Littlewoods before. Just found a lovely coat on there for £88, bit expensive, but would consider it with vouchers. Not sure what to do now
    :confused:

    Ordered something, it goes through to debit/credit card processing even for zero amounts. My order doesn't show up in the "track orders" page, so I am not holding my breath. :D

    B]Edit[/B Yeah my credit card has been pre-authorised for the full amount. Better cancel.

    oh okay, the catalogue is free right not like some companies send then ask for about 3 quid?

    If you go to your account communication preferences you can opt-out of receiving their catalog and being contacted by all the methods (post, email, telephone, sms).

    Yes it's free ;)
