the free wine voucher

i've just gone through this page to uswitch to change my energy supplier and was promised a voucher for free wine worth £40!! when it arrives, you don't actually get £40 worth of free wine unless you spend £39.95 on virgin wines (and 6.99 post). these vouchers are regularly sent to me in the post anyway - so i feel a bit disgruntled really. i don't want to spend £40+ on virgin wines because it rather negates the object of trying to save money by switching supplier! a nett no gain - but hopefully the energy bills will be cheaper.

    If you use the link direct from this site, you get free wine.

    Otherwise, as you say you get a discount voucher off buying some wine.

    A couple of sticky threads about this already:

    I am in the same boat, I followed the link and can only assume something went wrong or I've been conned.
