    Hi. Has anyone claimed a C&C voucher today from last month where they were up to their limits & was it okay? Do not know whether to wait until calendar month or try it. Thanks.

    Weight doesn't look good Jacobs creek sparkling 499g for 10 little bottles. :(

    Checked weight of another advertised individual bottle of blossom hill 399g. Does a cork weigh 100g. :eek:

    Booger should have thought to check yesterday. :o

    This is the link I posted yesterday

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007OU6KNU?keywords=jacobs%20creek%20sparkling%20r ose&qid=1446289178&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2

    Sorry for anyone who has ordered and only 1 bottle arrives. :(

    I ordered it when someone posted on 10 ways, I've had a dispatch email and It is coming via Royal Mail, if 10 turn up then great and if one turns up amazon will refund so nothing lost :) don't worry :) x

    I have no wise words snap , only you can decide what to do but make sure you don't make any choices while you are feeling emotional x

    I'm not worried as I don't mind chasing for refund but just know it can be a pain for others.

    Looks like they have done this before I should have looked further back on reviews yesterday.

    "DONT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!! Decided they they didnt want to send me my whisky as amazon made an error listing it, be very careful with this company. As a result my amazon account is now closed after 8 yrs using them!!"
    Amazon Customer, 3 September 2015
    Seller Response: We are very sorry that the listing was incorrect on Amazon and as a small business we could not afford to send the 6 bottles of Whiskey for the price of 1 which would have cost us a loss of £400, we did try to resolve the matter and offered the customer a free bottle of Whiskey of his choice and we refunded the order in full but he refused to accept the whisky or our apology. Whilst this is a rare occurrence we are all human and mistakes can happen and we will always do are up most to resolve them.

    It is a tricky one isn't it? The T&Cs clearly say calendar month yet some people experienced different and lost out. One way to check would be if anyone knows they are up to the limit and could do a test instore shop today that is known will produce a small APG (that they are willing to sacrifice if it imposes the limit/or even a larger APG if could return items if it doesn't work).

    It may be difficult for any of us to appeal to A/make them aware if it is working on a rolling month even though their T&Cs say calendar month - we do know what the rules are even if we don't always adhere to them ... but they should :p (on the ones favouring us anyway!).

    It is not fair for muggles who are sticking to the rules - but would most muggles get near £100 in a month or 10 shops? I think with planning your targeted shops (and not including glitches) that some months it would be quite feasible.
