    like many i got charged 9.95 for getting the dvd back a day late! (when you use the service you seem to get a 2 day turn around on dvds, but when you send back to cancel it suddenly takes 4 days!!)
    i complained to lovefilm and got a discourteous reply saying i wouldnt get vouchers, there fore complained to boots via email, who forwarded my complaint to lovefilm, got an email of a senior customer relations guy who said i would be entitled to vouchers and was on the list, however as i hadnt received any he would arrange another set to be sent out, hey presto 15 boots vouchers yesterday.....and another 15 pound today!!!! checked my advantage account and got 239 points as well!!

    So in the end i received approx £32.39 worth of boots stuff for 9.95!!

    who says lovefilm are bad!!!!

    wouldnt touch em with a barge pole again though!!!

    Hi bluestu - wow! lucky you, at least someone's done alright out of all this! :j Now you should rush out to Boots and snap up loads of their fancy gift sets that have been reduced after xmas - let Lovefilm pay for some of this year's xmas pressies! ;)

I have fulfilled all the criteria for the voucher, and as yet have still not recieved it. The following is taken from the terms and conditions:

    Hi all.

    I have had an email from Love film saying that I am not eligiable for a voucher as i did not add 10 dvds on to my rental list on the day of signing up!! what can I do?

    Hi redballoon:
    Lovefilm / Boots £15 voucher offer T&Cs:

    "The registration process includes providing a current e-mail address, password, home address (so LOVEFiLM.com can send out the DVDs), credit or debit card details (to verify identity) and creating a selection of at least 10 titles. Only users who have fully completed the registration process to sign up for the free trial and have received their first disc will receive their £15 Boots voucher. Your Boots vouchers will be dispatched within 30 days of registration."

    If you didn't add those 10 titles, then the Lovefilm registration process was never completed. If the process was never completed, then you've never been a Lovefilm customer. And if you've never been a Lovefilm customer. . .

    You must be a very, very happy, er, balloon. :j

    But if you did add 10 titles in order to register as a Lovefilm customer so as to be told by Lovefilm that you didn't add 10 titles, then. . .

    The thought occurs, you really couldn't make this up, could you? _pale_ _pale_ _pale_

    bluestu: excellent news about receipt of not one but two Boots vouchers.

    In what way are you related to Lovefilm's Managing Director?

    I signed up OK & cancelled in time but as I did not order 10 dvds immediately they welshed on the deal.I was sent 3dvds,I only requested 1/month, the first was US the next two OK.They insist on a 'phone call to cancel,then sent me 6 e.mail confirmations!!!For me a bad deal.

    Thankfully in no way!!

    ha ha!!!

    now off to boots shopping!!
  • Is it just people who have kept their account open who have had vouchers so far?

    I can't recall seeing anyone who has followed the T&Cs but closed the account saying they've had one.
