  • Further to my post on Friday, I tried to submit the code today (my voucher said valid from 23rd), only to get the message that it has already been redeemed. :(
    I have no way of knowing when or by whom. I hope it's just stored my details from the other day and someone else hasn't just typed in my number randomly.

    Anyone else who tried to submit on Friday had this message today?

    It's only a game

    When will it show in our pay pal accounts though?

    It tells you on your link
    To take advantage of this limited offer, you must redeem by 3 November 2011 by simply following the instructions on the voucher we send you and £15 will be paid into your PayPal account on or around 10 November 2011.
  • I got the message that my code had been used...but when I checked my paypal account it hasn't appeared in it. Does it not show up until the 10th Nov? Will it not show as pending?
    Like many others I had tried to use my code on Friday only for the page to loop and bring me back to the submit page..so how can it be used?
    Thanks :)

    One explanation

    The redemption code is only an eight digit number - thats 100 million possible combinations. There were 10,000 purchases, so the odds of picking a real voucher code are 10,000 to 1 - I wonder if somebody wrote a script to plug away at redemption codes and has managed to sweep up some and credit their account(s) - after all, all you enter is the code number and the account email you want to credit. There is no secondary check to tie the voucher code back to the person that bought it....
  • not really giving me much confidence!

    I tried using it before the 23rd, tried to submit it today and it said it had already been used. The voucher has moved to the used section of my account.

    I got this message below and my email address does show up.

    Voucher Already Used

    This voucher number has already been redeemed. You can find the UK PayPal email address used for this voucher number on your My Account page, under the Used tab, click on Print Voucher and the PayPal email address should show up under "Keep in mind".
