Me too ... I was a little greedy and used 2 5quid vouchers for 2 purchases which seem to have disappeared. They were relatively expensive boxsets so I would be surprised if they canceled them.

Talking of greedy I know someone on another forum who stuffed himself silly with 300 5quid vouchers!!!!!!

Imagine .....

Thats just ridiculous. People like that ruin offers for normal people who just need/fancy a bargain buy.

!!!!!!? Why do people do that?

It didn't even cross my mind to apply more than once actually! I didn't need anything else and my bro will be more than happy with his eminem cd for £2.99 at xmas!

I've got no order history but the money has gone from my account, fingers crossed my cd will come.

Think the order history problem is a technical error at their end rather than anything to do with the vouchers. Many people have stated orders that have been made in the last month and been delivered (before this voucher) have now disappeared yet things from months ago still show.

Also when they Cancel an order it doesn't usually just disappear, it will show Cancelled next to it in red in the order history. And you get a refund notice from Worldpay. Wouldn't worry too much yet, wait until tomorrow comes they might sort their system by then.

I've not read through all the posts here (there are way too many) so I don't know if this has been answered already but my sister is trying to get a voucher but it's telling her to enter a promo code (I left that blank to get mine) but she doesn't know what to enter, I'm sure I saw somewhere to put in '28' but she tried that and it's not working, any suggestions?

Ghirl, the promotion has been stopped, because people have been abusing it. So you cant get one now, if ya want more info read the last 2 pages or something

It's not really down to the fact that people have been abusing it -- it's down to the fact that the entire thing was a mistake in the first place. These were never supposed to be £5 vouchers, they were supposed to be £1 vouchers. No doubt whoever made that little error will be receiving whatever the Hong Kong equivalent of a P45 is in the near future, because this must be costing them a small fortune in lost revenue.

As for the order history page not working correctly, it has nothing to do with this promotion or orders being cancelled. I've been using CD-WOW for years, and this is just something that happens from time to time. Orders don't simply disappear when they're cancelled at any rate -- the text turns red and the status changes to 'cancelled', but the order will remain in your order history.

Got a reply from CD-WOW saying order has indeed been despatched on 5/12 and to allow up to 7 working days. So I guess it is a technical error with the site and everyone's orders are on their way :beer:

I would like to think that all those of us who asked for a voucher,just the one,and used it wisely,(eg myself i have been checking the prices of a DVD i wanted for hubby for xmas,and ordered that one) will have their discount and orders honoured.Those who were greedy and got multiple vouchers i hope are being checked out by the site,and get NONE honoured.

I know in theory none of us should have got the £5 but i don't really see a problem when it is their mistake.However to put at risk those of us who were more than happy with just one bargain,is in my mind,typical of a greedy few.Surely there must be a way of checking when the goods are going to the same address but with different emails.

Or is it because the site has been so heavily bombarded they just cannot cope?

If we're going to get all holier than thou about this I have to point out that there's no distinction between someone ordering 1 or 5 vouchers. The whole thing is based on dishonesty anyway so using one voucher doesn't make you a better person than using 2+ !

That's like saying a person who steals one thing from a shop is less of a criminal than someone who steals two. People need to stop taking these things so personally; there's so much more to life.

As a previous poster said, some you win, some you lose.

Thanks for your e-mail.

Due to a temporary technical glitch on our site, which is affecting MY

status for any orders placed.

Please rest assured that our IT Dept is looking into this and hope to have
this problem resolved as soon as possible.
