    Well I spent my two paper vouchers, was boring with the first and got some tights I needed and the second one got a Radley umbrella for £13 that I was intending to buy as a Christmas present anyway.

    I found I struggled to see things I liked but my closest debenhams is fairly small. Both SA's I got were fine and I didn't see anyone else using then when I was in on Sat.

    I have one text voucher that I won't be using so if someone pm's me I will arrange to forward it to your mobile.

    Hope everyone enjoys spending their vouchers in the next few days!

    text voucher has now gone!
  • I'm off with a friend now to see if I can use the 21 vouchers I downloaded last week, haven't had a chance to use them yet. They're using the gmail loophole with full stops so I hope they work. Any left over I'll give away on here because I can only go in today. Don't PM me as my inbox is full.

    How did you get on?

    I've just used another two, think they will be my last two as the SA made a huge fuss over the 'no minimum spend' T&Cs and called over THREE other SAs... I will be too paranoid to go back now, although I have been quite lucky and had different SAs on almost every occasion!

    I got a pair of slippers and a Hello Kitty travel mug - each were £5 so no spend, and they will be donated to the charity Christmas raffle. Didn't get the red bauble glasses in the end - they are nice but we have enough wine glasses and I thought that it would be nice to get a few more charity bits.

    Anyway, I am more than pleased with my haul of 36 (!) vouchers and will be back to Debs (in about 6 months and with a new hair colour lol) as I quite like a lot of their stuff! I will keep following this thread to see how everyone else gets on. :)

    it was...i won't be going to debenhams
    for a while..the staff were stood about talking about my friend and i who had used our voucher..i couldn't help myself but to ask her them if they had a problem with us and asked what their name was..i wasn't very happy at the time as i couldn't belieive they would stand there going on about the vouchers as if it was our fault we were using them and were made to feel as though we were steeling something when buying something for £8 and paying £3.
    i blame debenhmas not us using the voucher...less custom from me now though i will stick to online shopping

    You should definitely complain. That's completely out of order!

    The way I see it, those of us who are using more than one voucher are just legally exploiting a huge loophole (i.e. one per email address/mobile number), that's what this site is all about after all. Heavens, if you and your mate can't even use ONE each, that is a bad state of affairs.

    It feels wonderful to see the receipt popping out of the machine time after time after time! :D
