    I did this and went into Argos. Although I had it confirmed by email, never worked in store. Glitch obviously fixed.

    Got wii jog for 12.49 and got the docking station free. It was coming up as being 6.66 on their computer but they checked online and overrided the 6.66.

    :)

    They where really funny with me, wouldn't overide it, she checked online but wouldn't do it properly as a security warning popped up:rolleyes: so she refused to honour it, that aswell as they not putting my chocolates onto reserve has not made me a happy bunny!

    :confused:I have rung head office about this and they're refusing to honour it as they can't find it on their system even though I have proof in an email.

    Just got back from Argos after reserving a Wii game and docking station. It came up on till as 2 purchases with station beng £6.66. Told her it said £0.00 on my reservation. She phoned head office who said they would only honour it if I took in a print out. She put down the phone and told me but said not to bother and she would just over-ride it.

    She then said there are glitches galore on boxing day and she had reservations for Choc Oranges. I laughed then gave her my res code for 10 of them :)

    So got 10 Oranges, 1 x Wii game and 1 x docking station for £17.74 (my game was £16.49)

    I am a happy bunny :D
  • Just had mine over-rode at Oldbury argos after a bit of arguing, although didnt think they were going to honour it at first - manager sorted. no terrys oranges though...

  • If you only want one game and two docking it might be worth trying some combinations.

    900/7200 The Conduit £13.99 and two stations works out at £17.31
