If anybody lucky enough to have received a10% discount card, Alpro almond milk is currently on offer in Waitrose, and can also be chosen on PYO. Bought in two's, makes each carton 49p, which is cheapest I've ever seen.

I had a reply from House of Fraser.....They were quick.....It is as follows....

Dear Marmie,

Thanks for your email regarding the gift card you had. I'm sorry to hear it expired before you could use it.

As the gift card has already expired I cannot request another or re-add the £20 back on to it. The 2 years has passed since it was issued and regrettably we cannot do anything more regarding this as it did have 2 years to be used.

I can understand your frustration with this however we cannot issue you with another gift card.


Kind regards

Stuart Glendinning
Customer Service.

My reply

Dear Stuart(Customer services)

Thank you for your reply.

I would like to refer you to the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999.

These regulations aim to prevent an imbalance in the relationship between the retailer and the consumer.

An expiry date on a voucher creates an imbalance in this relationship and causes significant detriment to the shopper.

Further, Peter McCarthy, legal officer at Which? says the contract with the consumer for such a sale would be undermined if the retailer failed to spell out the expiry rules at the point of sale, which is the case here.

He goes on to say that a retailer must tell the customer conditions apply to the vouchers and be prepared to answer questions about them. “It is not good enough to simply include terms and conditions in the small print with the voucher”.

I ask you to look again at your decision.

Signed

Marmie

It's worth a go...

Basically Thornton v Shoe lane says that once a contract is concluded (i.e. you've paid) extra terms can't be added on.

Did my last double up today.....clothes.

Planned it to within an inch of its life but when I got to the till, I was £12.50 short ...the SA asked if I wanted to run and grab a T-shirt.

Grab a T-shirt:eek::eek::eek:

She obviously didn't understand:o I can't just buy on impulse. I need to research my options:rotfl:

I told her that I couldn't possibly hold up the queues and she would have to cancel my shop:o

I'd bought a Jacquard coat/ cardigan for £25 but going through at £12.50....bargain......I hope it doesn't go bobbly:o:rotfl:
