    How are the codes sent out -- by snail-mail or e-mail ?

    Email.

    How weird! A pop up said that my message was too short!! It would not let me post just the word "email" but that is all I need to say! Oh well this has made it long enough. Grrrrrr!!!
  • I've just phoned Smile and they told me that they are sending out batches of 200 emails on a daily basis and this will continue until the end of October. He also added that some people have not received theirs because they've been junk-mailed so he said it is a good idea to check your junk folder!
    I also confirmed that a balance of £1500 and not one single payment conforms to their t&cs.

    Yes you can. I've addressed my case to a friend. I've also included a very rude gift message so it'll be interesting to see if that gets included :-)
  • I made my delivery address my work address.

    I signed upon the 23rd of September. And i am still in the process of being cleared for the actual account. Hoping to debit the money next week?

    How long shud I put the 1,500? One week like Martin.
    How will I be notified of the case of wine being sent?
    can i then delete the account instantly or shud i wait a while after getting the wine?
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"

    AS long as the £1500 is in the account one night (working day) that should be enough. If you put it in one day and take it one the same day, it will not show up for the close of day balance.

    The vouchers are sent approx 2 months after opening account - I guess you should receive yours by end of November.

    After you have received the voucher you can close your smile account.

    The wine voucher is sent via email.
