  • The free headphones with the Sunday Star coupon look like to be these:

    http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/15733232/Maxell-Rhythmz-In-Ear-Headphones-White/Product.html

    It mentions the offer in the description. I wonder how many they actually have in stock for this promo!

    I've tried to order them but it says when I put the code in:

    The voucher you entered cannot be used at this time.

    Please check the information you received with the voucher. Vouchers can often only be used within a specific time period.

    The paper just says it needs to redeemed by tomorrow - 1st come, 1st served basis.

    Bit annoying - I only bought the paper for this! Play give their CS number after the text above but they're not open until 9am. I'll let you know when I know further.

    Biting is excellent. It's like kissing, only there's a winner.

    Yes, a code for the headphones would be great because my puppy chewed up two sets last week and now I have NONE!

    Just spoken to Play.com - they say that the offer doesn't start until mid-night tonight, hence my error message above.

    I've made the point that the paper says 'offer ends mid-night tomorrow (Monday 23 August)' and 'you must claim by mid-night tomorrow.' Nowhere does it say that it doesn't open until mid-night tonight.

    The chance of there being one available when I can log in tomorrow at 7:00 is remote. I'll think I'll make it even remoter by giving everyone the code :-):

    Thanks.

    I'm even slightly more annoyed now as the landing page on Play.com says 'Order Today':

    http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/3-/638204/2-/Promo.html?dpr=638204%3fsource%3d11987&pid=638204

    I thought it was the newspaper's fault; now it looks like play.com's.
