Iwantoneofthose.com warning re. "money-off coupon"

RuthnJasper

Hi,

Just a quick heads-up: I often use the online company Iwantoneofthose.com (aka iwoot.com) to get birthday/Christmas presents for family and friends. As a company, they're brilliant and I have no problems with them.

However, I bought a birthday gift for my little nephew last night and, on completing the purchase, the 'Thank you for your order' page contained the following message: "For no other reason than we think you deserve it, we're offering you a £10 discount off your next order". You have to click 'Continue' if you are interested. I did, and saw straight away that it was one of those wretched companies that offer discounts/coupons for a monthly 'subscription' fee of £14.95. You were asked to enter card payment details, etc.

Obviously I clicked out of the thing, but I just wanted to flag this up for anybody who might be unaware of this particular scheme and believe that all they're signing up for is the £10 iwoot.com voucher.

I daresay most of us are well aware of this sort of thing - but not everyone always reads the small-print...

also, for some reason I'm now getting very annoying daily email from them
