    I emailed lovefilm with a nice email and all the details asking why I haven't received any vouchers last week. I was pleasantly surprised to get a response the next day asking for my Boots advantage card number saying that they will credit the card with £15 straight away. Gave them the number, they've sent me an acknowledgment email and said the points have been added. Checked my Boots card online, no reflection of the points :confused: do I need to check it in the store to be sure? have emailed them abt the points not reflecting on my Boots online account, no reply for 4 days :mad: have email boots abt it now.. got an automated reply saying someone wil look into it and reply my query asap :mad:

    thought I had it easy since lovefilm responded so quickly and so well to start... now its all gone haywire :o

    good luck to everyone else trying to get their voucher! :p

    I've just emailed Lovefilm using the address Martin gave. If I don't get a swift reply I'll be contacting Boots. After all it's a bad reflection on their company.

    Hi
    Just thought I would let you know I received my £15 voucher today- the approach i took was to email the Lovefilm people and take the empathetic approach (great service, thank you, will have no hesitation returning).
    I hired 2 films then cancelled but added a total of 10 to my "earmarked" films.

    Here is the email I sent with reply at top...GOOD LUCK!

    Dear Steve

    Thank you for your e-mail

    Please allow up to 30-working days from registering your account for this voucher to arrive.

    Kind regards,

    Lindsey

    Just got this reply back from Lovefilm:

    Thank you for your recent e-mail

    I understand your concern and have forwarded the same to the concern department. Hopefully, this matter should be resolved as soon as possible.

    If you have any other query, please feel free to contact us.

    Kind regards,

    Mohammed


    What on earth is the 'concern department'?
  • Ive had no problems with Lovefilm (feel i might get linched for saying that). I telephone to cancel and the lady extended the offer till 25th dec. I was a little late in sending the disc back because of the holiday period.

    My vouchers arrived today. I hope this provides a liitle hope to everyone who is still waiting.

    Cheers Martin... another 15 quid in the bank!!

    How random is that ???? :mad: :mad: (congrats by the way :D )


    Ive given up contacting them, ive counted 15 replies all stating I didnt add 10 to my list, an absolute waste of time.

    I really dont see the point of the email address Martin requested if all they are going to do is provide the same (incorrect) answer

    I am new to this but agree with all that is said. I also signed up for the free trial, hoping to receive my Boots voucher. I saw nothing about selecting 10 titles when i did this. Cancelled in time and sat waiting for my boots voucher to drop on the mat - to no avail. Sent an email as Martin suggested and got the response about selecting 10 titles!! Hope you suceed in getting some joy from Boots.
  • hi
    i was having touble getting the said voucher from lovefilm so i came on here and discovered others were too. but 1 man said he called the advantage card team and complained so they credited his card there and then.......so this is what i did and they credited my card too, in the mean time i was still e-mailing support at lovefilm saying how i thought they were just wriggling out of sending me vouchers with lame excuses, they kept e-mailing me back to tell me yet again that i wasn't getting the vouchers as i'd not fulfilled the t&c's (which i had), but on the same day they e-mailed to tell me this the vouchers arrived in the post (it seems the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing in bombay!!). i look upon it as rare compensation for all the corporate bulls*$t we as consumers have to put up with! did anyone else get vouchers, or were you fobbed off too?
