hi ya :0) the codes for £3 off £15 spend coupons i have just bought 10 of them you just take them into the shop i've bought 10 off ebay before and the worked fine. The £4 off an animal when you spend at least £8 i'm not sure about i have one of those but it was posted to me via buildabear so not sure if they are transferable. I am heading to build a bear tomorrrow to use 3 vouchers lol which will take some organising as its per £15 transaction and per person per visit so 3 of us will have to go in and buy 3 lots seperatley to use the vouchers :0)

I meant to add the £3 off £15 spend is are the vouchers which are often given out instore so not exclusive to one person after all a family of 4 could go in and buy 4 bears hence would all get one voucher each loose in the box. I often wondered how they were sold on ebay in bulk i think to be honest its staff selling them.

I'll take a note of the code for the £4 off animal so that when i get back tomorrow after using it you can try and use it online if you like it may work i know the £3 off £15 spend are all the same code so they will def work online :0)

I have bought a total of 4 bears since December alone and have not had any vouchers in the bears boxes!!! Is this how they are usually given out? Or do you need to be a member of BAB or something before they give you the voucher?

Helloooooooooo :0)
right here is some info firstly the vouchers i got posted from build a bear was because when buying my daughters last bear from the shop i filled in the birth cert and clicked the box which said they could post me offers :0) hence the £4 off £8 and above bear... anyway i used the code today in the shop and for those who want to use it online its working i just tried it but it'll expire as of the 14 feb midnight so hurry... the code is 493635

okie dokie as for the codes i bought off ebay £3 off £15 spend i used 3 of the vouchers in store today no probs at all and i just checked you can use these online on purchases of anything over £15 the code is 492618 that ends aug 09...

for shopping instore you'll need to buy the coupons and take them in in person. When i went into the store today we split the purchases up and i used a £4 off a bear voucher and 3 of the £3 off £15 spend then i went to the till and the women said did i want to sign up for the loyalty scheme it was free so i did and she handed me a voucher for £5 off anything in store to which i bought another bear lol... so all in all 5 vouchers used in one store on one day and one visit...

Thats fantastic moneysaving!!!! Well done!!! :beer:

I took the plunge and bought some vouchers from Ebay. Hope they arrive soon.

Did the SA query why you had so many vouchers the same or did they not care? I assume that you went to the till once but were able to put the vouchers thru in 3 seperate transactions (then went to spend your bonus £5.00 voucher!)

I've been looking on the BAB web site for items to buy to maximise my pound already! As once I get in that shop with my 2 dd's it's manic!!!! They both go in different directions, but I know they are quite safe as they are no going to leave that shop without a fight!!;)

Must make a note to ask to sign up their advantage scheme!!!!!! Just need vouchers now........

The key thing to do is take a look at the website with the kids and see what they like. I had pretty much worked out what to get my daughter so i worked it out into £15 purchases or as close to :0)
As for using the voucher there was me my hubby my son and daughter so i got my son with £15 cash to use the first £3 off voucher. Then i went up and bought the set lot of items £3 off £15 spend. Then i went away and got the bear and had it made went back to the till with the £4 off a bear voucher. At which point she handed me the £5 off voucher off anything in store. I then got my husband to purchase the final £3 off £15 spend with clothes. We had already bought my daughter the limmited blue glittered bear with gem badge with the money off voucher but she had also been eyeing up the pink hearts bear with magnets i had not planned on buying it and was trying to grab it off ebay but it always seems to end at about £10/£11 plus postage second hand so i used the £5 off voucher given to me in the store to buy her the bear which she got today for valentines day :0)
When i was at the till the women was absolutely fine about the vouchers she actually said to me are you splitting the purchases up your better to do that so you can use the vouchers.

The rule on the voucher is 1 coupon per person per visit so if there are 3 of you aslong as you have cash thats 3 vouchers in one visit :0) and if you need to spend more of them then leave the shop, go for a walk then come back and use more vouchers after all its a new visit :0)

Remember to ask them at the till to join the loyalty bonus points scheme and also if your getting a bear when filling in the birth certificate you check a box on it that says can they contact you with promotional offers.

Its such a good deal bought more vouchers off ebay although they are taking longer to arrive i think i'll email the seller again :0)

Not sure about this 'loyalty' bonus... when we bought a bear in store last October they offered us the chance to buy a £10 gift card for £5. No mention of having to join a loyalty scheme, it was just offered when we paid for our bear.

I then bought another bear online at Christmas, and the same offer came up, you could buy as many £10 gift cards for £5 each as you wanted. I bought one and am hoping to use it in the shop soon.

Are there any discount codes available now? I see the one at the start of this thread expired in December.

Hi ya scaredy cat

it must be new, i was in last week when this happened. Def i got a free £5 off anything in store for simply signing up to their loyalty card scheme eg they gave me a card i have scanned everytime i purchase something in store.

£3 off £15 spend i just checked you can use these online on purchases of anything over £15 the code is 492618 that ends aug 09...

failing that pop along to ebay and buy the gift vouchers :0) seems there are 10 x £3 off a £15 spend going for £2 right now on ebay so a bargain!

Thanks Fairywishes - I'll see if they offer me the loyalty card when we next go in. Thanks for the code, too - that will be useful if I need to order online.

I don't think I'll have time to get vouchers through ebay this time. I *think* we're going to the shop this weekend... it's quite a distance so we only visit the shop infrequently.

I'll bear it in mind for the next visit, though! Thanks.
