Hubby tried to use this voucher at our local total garage but they wouldn't accept it as they said it was not the original which had been published in a car magazine

It died of death I'm afraid................

The thread on the Freebies board was removed by Abuse Controller after complaints from Total that the vouchers should never have been published on the BSM website. They refused to honour any of the vouchers.

Its a shame

I used mine yesterday for the first time. Went in, showed him the voucher and the small print which had been kindly enlarged by someone here .. he'd never heard of it but said 'ok no problem'.

5 minutes later and my car was sparkly !! I had planned to go once a week until it ran out but my plans have now been scuppered !! Oh well, at least the car got it's annual clean !!

Not quite "any"

Some of us got in there quickly, and I have to admit to spending a little time on photoshop, re-writing the text and dropping it in over the unreadable version - which I then sent on to other MSE'rs. I also printed mine on a nice glossy paper - All that for a car wash eh!

In fairness, it wasn't our fault they were used, BSM were at fault - their web site suggested you could just print one off and use it.

I'll just use a bucket and sponge next time...

This voucher is actually supposed to be a hard copy which is included in the BSM voucher booklet you get when you are learning to drive. (see http://www.bsm.co.uk/special_offers/passport2005/totaluk.html )

Quite what a learner is going to do with a carwash voucher I don't know. Maybe that is part of the lessons - how to enter and exit a carwash... I wonder if that's part of the test these days!

Question is, does anyone know how to get hold of a BSM voucher booklet?

Actually when the first link to their site was posted on here, there was no mention of needing to have the hard copy. BSMs web site had a button labelled "Get Yours Here" which took you to the copy on screen and instructed you to print it off..!

I guess you'd have to book lessons with them..

It's still online, I found it today with a google search. Went to total, filled up with 40 quid worth of petrol, and the guy wouldn't give me it. Joker.

That's the last time I ever fill up at Total. Sneaky, and very 'convenient'.

I used the voucher 10 days ago & my significant other used one 3 days ago, neither of us had any problems, guess we were lucky
