    Same here, applied fairly early but nowt.

    Are either of you new to registering, or previous users?
    I'm new to RSH, and haven't got a voucher through (yet)...

    From the sounds of people above mentioning exsisting accounts, Im wondering if they are being processed first.

    Thursday about 8 for me, existing RSH member, was there when I looked at lunchtime, no email or any sort of confirmation.
  • I'm an existing member, applied about 6pm on Thursday, not showing in my account yet.

    I applied for myself, my Brother and my Mum. Only Brother's account seems to already have his voucher and mine doesn't when I just checked now! And all accounts are new users. Does this mean they might not add the voucher to my account or Mum's account now? :(

    Edit: Just checked Mum's account and that one has the £10 credited too now yay! Only mine left to go now lol. Also it says the expiry is December 31st 2020, whereas it says it's December 31st 2012 on The Sun t&c! :P By the way I applied around 7pm on Thursday if that makes any difference. :)

    I'm sorry, but I think this promotion is just "flawed".

    Yes - I think it's lovely that RedSpottedHanky are doing this, and fantastic for all those that get a voucher, but come on, you advertise in a National newspaper and have just 10,000 to give away?. And then you suggest that registrations can take place up until 16th May 2012 as if there will still be some available by this date?. I dont think so. Reality is most of these will have been taken within the first few hours of this promotion going live and RedSpottedHanky know this. They paint a picture that people can register for the promotion up until the 16th May 2012 as if to imply there will still be some available, when they know full well demand will vastly outstrip supply.

    I have my voucher so Im a happy bunny, just venting how ridiculous I see the promotion as a whole. Im sure some will disagree with me, but I hope others will agree.

    Thinking about this more, isnt there a law about this?. Im sure I saw something on Watchdog about this. Supermarkets are not allowed to advertise huge reductions or giveaways when there is only a tiny amount of stock available simply to get people into their stores?. Isnt this a similair thing?
  • Result!

    Just checked my account and I have a nice fat £10 e voucher to spend!

    If it helps anyone, I applied online at about 9pm Thursday and it appeared in the last 2-3 hrs.

    Good Luck to everyone :T

    I've participated in 2 of their previous promotions, and my husband participated in the last one - I don't think anyone was disappointed? Except for during the 3 days or so that it takes for your voucher to be credited, that is!

    I think they send an email when they have credited your voucher?
