    Terms and conditions stated only one offer code per customer! Bit pants really

    Thanks - too much writing to T&Cs on phone
  • In my defense, I didn't buy a Swaroski cat collar! (But it was a bit girly for a boy cat anyway!)
    So so SO tired of being ripped off, and mislead
    Hope sharing saves some pain.

    hi can anyone give m some advice please
    do amazon take the money straight away or will they take it first thing tomorrow morning? (i have a visa electron if that makes any difference)
    i have bought a few things today and have my eye on a few more but don't get paid until tomorrow :(

    They take it when they ship.

    If you make sure you choose supersaver delivery when you checkout, that should delay it for a little while. ;)

    Also, Amazon are really good if you don't have the funds/card gets rejected etc. They will email you & you'll have perhaps a few days to sort it all out. They won't cancel your order. Good Luck.

    Re the waitlist - I was on it for the mini DAB radio - sat and watched with waited breath until showed 100% gone but it now every time I open up amazon it says that I missed the deal? Does that mean I could have had one - no pop up appeared - saw them yesterday so know what they should look like.

    Also - does anyone know - is it just one £2 MP3 voucher per customer - I've had 6 dispatch emails but only one code

    I was also wondering this. I got on the waitlist for toy story and then went to the loo (big mistake) as i fear i missed my opportunity to purchse, can anyone tell me exactly what happens when you join the waitlist?

    It's on - north south east west?
    And if I really were an angel, I'd float over your bed
    Each night a different dream of me I'd plant inside your head
    And if I were an angel, I tell you what I'd do
    I'd appear in a vision and I'd give my wings to you
  • They do "check" with your bank as you checkout but do not officially charge until dispatch. But the money will be ring fenced at that "check" I have cancelled some orders prior to dispatch yet the money is showing as taken from my balance, it will take a couple of days to update correctly. Hope this helps.

    yeah, what happens is they apply for the funds once the orders confirmed and then becomes a "pending" transaction... that way the funds are taken from the account balance.... once the order has been processed, they will confirm the funds and take them from the account (usually debits in 1-2 days)... on the other hand, if its cancelled, the "pending" funds will be released back to your account ;)

    I was on the waitlist for the radio too, and keep getting that message now - like you I had no pop up before the deal ended.
