Hi, There is a discussion thread on voucher code use where I've just posted the following. I would be interested to her what people think about code use etc.
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=26643955#post26643955
I absolutely love voucher codes ! But one thing that concerns me is that there is a legal grey area with these codes. I'm not concerned for the companies (they know these codes get spread far and wide), I am concerned that vulnerable people may be getting into trouble for using them. These codes are published on a lot of websites - and it often doesn't make it clear that they can only be used once, or are only for first time customers. There are a lot of websites like Littlewoods (and all their sister organisations like Very etc) and Vertbaudet/La Redoute that allow people to use codes a multitude of times (I'm not talking once or twice - I mean people using them dozens of times). People think (mistakenly) that this is allowed and it is only months afterwards that they get a call from the Littlewoods fraud dept. or their credit card is charged the full price. By this time, the 14 day return period is over and the customer hasn't got a leg to stand on.
I think the fault lies with the companies - there are definitely ways websites can detect if someone using the same code over and over (even if they use different e-mail address). Priceminister recently gave a £5 off code out - People on MSE stated the website knew if you were using the same card/same address with the same code more than once. Even if you used a different e-mail address, they refused the sale. So the technology is there, so why do Littlewoods say it is illegal to use a code again and again when they allow it at the point of sale, when they could easily change their system to make it clear which codes are allowed. It is putting the customer in a difficult position. Yes, we all like saving money by using voucher codes, but I would like to know at the point of sale if the code is allowed and that everything is above board. Why can't companies (yes, I'm talking to you, Littlewoods etc) make things easier for customers ? I wonder if there is some ulterior motive for allowing these codes and then
Hope this makes sense - sorry for the ramble!0 -

This has now been fixed it was working earlier but now you do have to spend £500

worked for me on a £50 spend
thanks0 -
If they take the full amount I will return the items, as they will be sent "on approval". Not worried about them pre authorising/debiting the card for the £25, as long as they refund promptly when the items are returned if the voucher code is not honoured.0
