Sainsburys PS2 BOGOF - loophole? [CLOSED]

soolin

I've had a very odd experience with this. My first order was accepted then 5 minutes later I got an email saying my bank had declined my card so my order had been cancelled.

I re ordered using an entirely different card from a different bank and again 5 minutes later that card has been declined as well. Both cards have a minimal balance on them and have been used successfully in the past few days.

Should i feel paranoid?

This happened to me last week with the Fox BOGOF DVDs, Soo. With quite a few others, too.

They'll keep the order open for you, just ring the phone number they give on Monday morning with your card details and they'll process it for you again.

With my order, I had given an incorrect expiry date but seem to recall someone else saying their system glitched, thereby spewing out a refused payment email.

Fantastic find. Just ordered Shrek 2 and Shark Tale. It didn't accept my £5 e-voucher but still a very good deal as my postage was £0.00. Hope we get.

many thanks for that. Got harry Potter & prisoner of Askaban and SegaEye toy for £29.99.

Very happy kids when they come

For another £9.99 you could have got Shrek 2 and Spiderman If you placed two separate orders.

I have an e-Voucher code for £5 off too... you have to pay with a Sainsburys Bank Credit Card, but it look like you can enter what payment you like....

Promotional Code is : CODE REMOVED DUE TO BOARD RULES (THANKS ADDY)

Also regarding the mis-pricing the 2nd game... Usually these offers work out that you get the cheapest game free... it seems if Sainsburys spot this they don't have to fulfill the orders...

Lantik - you might want to read this statement from Martin regarding posting discount codes in this section.
