o2 priority moments freebies and offers (**updated**)

seasideDreamer

The codes expired as a lady was trying to redeem in my Boots and I was still 10 back od in the massive queue. The assistant liertally got a list of T&Cs out and went down them where it said once the cose are gone they are gone and refused to do the ladys lunch for £1. I waited in case she honoured it then when she didnt gave up.

i assume they are referring to someone who has used the same code more than once possibly using the timer restart 'trick' or maybe with a screenshot

obviously this circumvents the limit on the number of codes given out

however as far as I can see as long as you only use the code once even with the timer restart trick I cant see that being 'fraud' at all as you are just using a valid code from the bucket of codes given out - it only becomes this so called 'fraud' if you use it more than once

( as there is only one boots near me I dont even have the temptation of trying to be greedy )

15000 'fraud' codes in 2 weeks seems unlikely to me - also they cant stop it happening unless they fix the timer restart bug - just changing to a 2 minute timer is completely irrelevant as you can still reset it

If you think there are 1500 stores taking part that is 10 frauds per store, so 5 a week. When some stores are doing a thousand meal deals it is easy to see a few frauds happening that then add up.

They should do it like Cafe Nero then and actually use a new randomly generated code for every customer rather than their own generic code. Boom no more fraudulent codes

I think it isn't they identify individual codes, as that isn't possible as they don't put the code in, more just that they have given more meals out than codes were generated. In which case if anyone just pauses and restarts the counter they wouldn't be included in that figure.

i was meaning more that if only genuine 02 customers could access the deals there may not be such a problem with availability.:)

If they made me have an actual O2 sim to use the app I'd just get a PAYG and use it in my old phone. And then I'd use more of the offers that I can't (or don't dare to) at the moment - O2 shop ones or comps.

Today the assistant in my local store wouldn't let my mam have the meal deal because the network on the phone wasnt o2 (she has the app activated from my cousins number who is in school during the day and cant get the meal deal herself but is an o2 customer) she also tried to say the code didnt work but Im pretty sure she was just making that part up as she also said everyone has the same code so my nana and me activated ours and they were both different as well. She was trying to say the codes wouldnt work unless they were on the o2 network which was obviously a lie. My nana has her app on her ipad because she has an old phone with no internet and she was saying next time she will need to bring her phone with her as well to prove she is on o2. Not the first time this one assistant has been akward though never had any trouble with anyone but her.

Go onto Boots website and send a message via their customer service team. You should get a reply from the store manager. Unless people complain the store will not know what the member of staff is like.

She did actually bring a supervisor over who didnt really seem to know what she was doing but just agreed with her, but when the phone wasnt on the o2 network dont really know what i could say even though she is getting it on behalf of an o2 customer.
