    I got the same email address, does that mean we really cannot use our vouchers, or has anyone tried it?

    I guess it depends how they process the vouchers through the till, although I imagine head office have made it clear how to use them now so probably won't have much luck.
  • If they have sent you an email to say you cannot use it, it will mean they have cancelled that gift card number so you would be refused at the till.

    I think it's fair to say Debenhams will be reading this thread too as Martin brought attention to the offer and has been in contact with them :/

    I now have two vouchers that I will need to throw away then, I might try the text one though, has anyone had any luck with this?
    :jHas saved so much money since joining this forum, thanks to all you kind people out there :j
  • Re carrier bags:

    When the jewellery is sold at Hospice Xmas Fair, Debenhams will get free advertising, as I'll re-use the bags. I have a lot.....

    I could even put up a little sign 'jewellery from Debenhams'
    Free advertising, in effect..... :snow_grin

    I found my only text transaction (today) was easier than the vouchers. :j

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: True!

    I am going to have a clear out and sell stuff at a car boot soon so they will come in handy for that.

  • I suppose it's only fair that they pull it if people have been using the same e mail address. I won't deny that I used 5 ( and would have used 7 if two of them had arrived) but they were all to different genuine e mail addresses. I suppose we all need to accept that if the system is abused then it's going to get pulled. I don't mean to suggest that people shouldn't have done it, as the opportunity was there, just that some people seem to have gone ever so slightly over the top! £300 of items for £11, and a stash of over 40 items are always going to have people questioning other people's ethics.
  • Went in Oxford Street, showing my phone, had a code sent to niece who forwarded it to me. Oh no, said the 3 SAs, you can't use this.

    Waited 20 minutes whilst they "checked with a Manager", then came back, one of them keyed in the code, and said "it's been used". Put my £5.50 tin of ginger chocolate biscuits back on the shelf, and left, tail between my legs, hating my niece. :mad:

    Went in Romford branch, got the biccies, showed my phone, SA glanced at it, keyed something in (not the number), asked for 50p which I gave him, he passed me my biccies in a bag and said "The till says I have to give you £4.50!!!!" :rotfl:

    We both laughed and looked at each other, and I said "what shall we do" and then he said "If that's what the till says, then I'm gonna do it". Which he did. Then he said "that's done". I said "I don't want you to get into trouble" and he said "that's what the till says, and now it's clear".

    So I got a tin of biccies worth £5.50 for nothing, and £4 back!!!! :j

    God, I love MSE!!
