    Update on their Facebook page:

    Living Social UK:
    Morning everyone, we're extremely sorry about the issues that you are experiencing with these vouchers. We are aware of the situation and will provide you with details as soon as we can. Once again, many apologies for the frustration caused.
  • Oh thank goodness I'ts not just me. I haven't used social living site before and wasn't sure about it.
    Between computer problems and OH breathing down my neck saying it's a scam I was giving up hope!

    Hi Rex, we're extremely sorry that these issues have arisen with the M&S vouchers. We are aware of the situation and are looking to resolve them as soon as possible. It was also unfortunate that this particular video was published before we had knowledge of the voucher problems and for that we apologise. When we have further news we will let you all know.

  • I've emailed Living Social. They should reply within 48 hours....

    The email I sent has been returned to me as undeliverable. I then clicked reply to the one they sent me but, unfortunately, also with no success. The first was to replies@livingsocial.com and the other was to orders@livingsocial.com

    Do you have the same email address or maybe a different one at all? The telephone number on the 'voucher' disconnects and it is not possible to get throught.

    I'll appreciate any replies.

    My voucher e-mail was waiting for me when
    I got up this morning!!:D

    Many thanks OP.
    I hope you don't mind me asking, squigs, but when you printed yours off did it have a pin and a 16 digit code, please? Mine had no pin when I printed the attachment and the code was only 12 digits. I telephoned M&S and they can't accept it. In the mean time I have not been able to communicate with LivingSocial either by telephone (disconnects after number is dialled) and emails have both been returned (orders@livingsocial.com and replies@livingsocial.com)

    I'm not sure if I can do anything else and I'm hoping to get some contact information to try.

    In my excitement of getting the email, I failed to notice the missing information. It was only when reading other peoples posts that I realised mine was the same!!

    I am not really concerned, as reading the replies from LivingSocial on Facebook, it does seem there is an error on their part, which with 30,000 applications for vouchers will take a little while to sort out.

    I do feel the offer is genuine and hope I am not proved wrong.

    It is possible they are trying to sort out who has put in multiple applications, when the offer stated one per person. There were many people bragging on HUKD about how many they had applied for and it appears cancellation emails are now being sent out.

    It reminds me somewhat of the Crowdity/Ocado offer, which many people thought was a scam, but turned out alright in the end.:)

  • Thank you very much for your quick reply, squigs. I really appreciate it. I'm afraid I'm not on Facebook so I would not know how to check. I only made one application for the M&S voucher. As it seems to be a simple error I'm sure LivingSocial will sort it out. I was concerned because my emails were returned as undeliverable and I couldn't get through on the telephone.

    Thank you very much, once again to squigs and all the others who so helpfully posted.
