    The item i want you cant reserve or buy online. It only came out today so didnt want a wasted trip.
    Tried the number bumbles gave me and they informed me it would be a 10 min wait, so have decided the easiest thing is to drop dd at brownies then nip along there to see.

    What are you after, as I got the collect at store option on all the tablets.

    Due to someone filling up their car boot with these gift guides from my work head office are now being informed of people's greed!

    So you can all thank the greedy people that grab more than a couple, not sure what they will do, probably make sure you purchase something before you get a guide.

    Indeed. it's like the Debenhams promo where some plonker started generating codes so that people who had a valid voucher found that someone had used a fake beforehand and invalidated theirs.

    At it will probably be in the MSE newsletter this week, so if you're already getting fed up with what some may feel to be mostly "I'm too lazy to go and get a code, validate it and return to purchase, so instead please PM me a code" comments, then there's going to be a whole lot more. This place is turning into AOL.

    They'll either change the terms of the competition or pull it. You don't have a right to abuse a promotional offer.

    well...
    here's what I have after 24hours...

    BTW these are two stores in Peterborough (they have 1000's)
    vouchers.jpg

    so far I've typed in... must be 150+ and all are £5 codes...
    giving them away to friends & family, as I have my own sever can create multiple emails.

    once I've done enough and got bored, I'll post the PDF files for everyone. (as I've been saving them all on a disk) :j

    Don't you think gathering a few hundred is exceptionally greedy? I would have thought if a few hundred people could get £5 off an item would be better than one very greedy person doing so many out of this. You may pass the code onto family and friends but to take so many beggars belief! Once you are 'bored' with it, as you say, you'll pass on the code on to everyone here. By that time Head Office will have changed the promotional because of greedy people. It would have been better to leave them for others to get the £5 off in the first instance. Remember it also gives pleasure to share in this world and not just to look after yourself. :(

    And I agree with ScratchandSniff.

    Haha, that photo made me laugh. +mucho rep.

    Perhaps in future DSGi won't be so stupid as to place real monetary value upon sales brochures that sit outside the watchful eyes of staff.

    It might also have been a good idea to brief their staff on a promotion that involves nearly 3 million vouchers.
    The first few times I visited stores with these vouchers was just an embarrassment; not one member of staff knew what the hell was going on.

    They also need to fix the T&Cs of the £5 voucher so only 1 can be redeemed per customer, not transaction. (and make them non-transferable)

    Damn amateurs - you wouldn't see the likes of Tesco hosting such a disorganised & easily exploitable promotion.
