Yes, that has happened on both of my vouchers too.0 -
I knew it would only be a matter of time before the greed started to set in. That's how they can tell when you have reached your £100 monthly limit then I pressume. It is printed on your receipt. Mr T is not so silly after all then. :T0

10 minutes later she returned saying, yes that's fine to use and a mumbled sorry!
I felt like I was about to be arrested!
I had somewhat simular experience today with the voulcher for 65 pounds. I have already a few of them with no problem whatsoever however today I got a few s**pid staff who didn't have any idea of how to use it (including the supervisor and the duty manager) so I was made to wait around 15 min, getting angrier by the minute in a very busy store. Anyway I told them I will make a formal complaint, which I did in person and on the phone (!!!) and now I'm awaiting a letter of appology. I'm not the one who likes to complain /make a fuss, but got REALLY annoyed and angry with some people's s**pidness. It ruined my fun of getting free stuff!!! (well only for today:rotfl:).
ADVISE- If you have ANY problems with getting your voulcher accepted tell them that you will make a formal complaint and ask for the head office number- 0800 505555 and even call them there and then!!!

Mine had done the same for some reason (I shopped at 18.57 yesterday but it showed 06.57) although I think I was lucky as my SA didn't care - i think she was having enough trouble figuring out what to do & didn't want to make any more problems for herself!
If I'd had a snooty SA it could've proved difficult though and I was a bit worried before I set out"You've got to cut your cloth to suit your wassname" Terry (my Dad), 1944-present0 -
