I wonder how much checking of applications they will be doing? I notice that they are taking their time in issuing the vouchers. If I were them I'd do some careful checking of e-mail addresses, postcode validity, IP addresses and so on.0

Unfortunately this site is more and more turning into moneygrabbing rather than moneysaving.
I actually posted my unlimited email address voucher code on here so I helped MORE then 26 people who missed out get a £5 voucher. Maybe it was wrong of me to order all those things but I wasnt the only one doing.
I was desperatly short of money last christmas and knowing my kids had a few extra DVDS certainly made me feel alot happier and Im sorry if my greed cost someone £5 off a expensive games console :rolleyes:0 -

They probably have a database with logs of all ip addresses, they can easily check for duplicates.0 -
I think applying more than once is ok especially if you on short on cash and there for crimbo presents for children but when you apply for 150 thats taking the mick I think its good play are taking so long to issue the vouchers cause their hopefully stopping the greed of some people and dispersing the vouchers more fairly!0

Just because you're not "the only one doing it" doesn't make it fair. I have a limited income, and not a lot of money at all, but how can you justify it being okay for your kids to get "a few - by that you probably mean 10 :rolleyes: " extra DVD's and my one registration to miss out because of peoples greed.
People, please only apply once for this. You ruin it for the rest of us and pretty soon companies will stop running these promotions!0 -

I'm not going to get into the debate of right and wrong. It is upto your own morals. Just one point though. This 3 day promotion - front page advertising - 8000 x £5 = £40,000 plus £1 off orders which might account to 5% and 10% off orders sounds good business to me. I can't see them stop doing these promotions.

Where do you want to extend the morals to? Isit FAIR that people who didn't buy the daily stars 3 days in a row, still applied for vouchers? Its a free promotion, stop whining about whats fair and whats not. Nothing here is OWED to you.0
