    this could be interesting... bought a voucher for £8 and got £7.07 cahsback on TCB so effectively it cost 93p (I'm not banking on this as some things track but don't pay) bought an item for £25 the other day and used the whole voucher so item effectively cost 93p (plus £4.50 p&p) but when i bought the item on Secret Sales i went through TCB and even though i used the voucher it tracked the cashback on the full £25 so £2.02 cashback so if that does go through then effectively the whole £29.50 worth of goods and P&P will cost £3.41. even if none of the cashback actually pays i'm still happy to pay £12.50 in total - still more than half price.

    My sis reported an invalid code on Sunday just after i reported mine. They gave her another code which doesn't work and I'm still waiting for a reply! I'm so waiting for a free shipping event/code to use my vouchers. I don't want to pay one more penny towards this!

    I had trouble with the first two codes, they sorted them out and I ordered another two. However they keep sending me the first two codes, which I have already used, grrrrr
    Love your Mum, you'll never get another one when she's gone.

    I got my two dodgy codes replaced today. The folks I've spoken to at KGB sound nice. The two new codes were in a slightly different format. I never got through by phone but I emailed offering to try reedeming the codes whilst they were on the phone. I would have preferred not to have redeemed the codes immediately but better safe than sorry.

    Good luck to anyone still waiting to get it sorted.

    So far my sis has had 2 replacement codes, both of which do not work and I have received a replacement code today which does not work. I'm so annoyed at this. I don't think I'll ever be using KGB again!

    Tbf, it's not actually kgbdeals faults that the codes aren't working, secretsales would be to blame, as their gift voucher codes seem to be similar to each other (and you'd think you wouldn't be able to forge one with a decent site). I'm not saying secret sales are rubbish either, as I've already had delivery some items already and still waiting on more (so can't really comment), but kgbdeals are hardly to blame if the voucher codes they're being sent by secretsales have been forged and used already.

    EDIT: also to say that i have 4 codes still to be sent.. 2 were sent yesterday (i dunno why 2 as i ordered 4 on the 16th), and both codes used, so i've emailed them today to enquire about it and will see what they say.

    I eventually received my 5 new codes today and 'banked' them all straight away @ Secret Sales

    All worked and were very unusual combination of letters and numbers now - So it seems they have changed all the codes so they are more secure..

    I reckon it wasn't a blunder even but maybe some fraud had been commited with the original codes as they were all so similar?

    Anyway - Alls well that ends well and all that but I must say even as a big fan I was getting peeved this time as it did take alot of e-mailing back and forth and the whole process of getting the codes due has been FRUSTRATING!

    Yay! I have finally received my code! Apparently due to a human error, my code hadn't been activated. Thank god that kerfuffle's over.
