    Could try a visit to your library/doctors/dentist to ask if they've got any, go through your neighbours recycling bins? I think shops send them back next day but its always worth asking.

    pmsl I can imagine my neighbours faces if I looked in their recycling bin!


    I was reading the terms etc on this before. Don't know if anyone else noticed, but it says, "Don't forget to take valid ID with you when you use your voucher"!!!!!!!!!!!!! What ever does that mean??? Why do you need ID? No-one asked for any when we used the express one. I am concerned what constitues "valid" ID. I mean I am hardly going to carry passports round Alton Towers!

    I am also slightly worried about how it says "Adult age is 12 blad de blah", as if they are insinuating it is free for adults only. However it does say one voucher per person per transaction, so surely that means every person in your group can use a voucher?? (Why would you use more than one each anyway for goodness sake/ Do they do all this to confuse us?)
    Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
    I can be brown I can be blue I can be violet and sky. I can be hurtful I can be purple I can be anything you like..Gotta be green gotta be mean gotta be everything more...

    im sure this is one per person so you all go in and hand one in its not like the legoland and sealife where it said one per household.
    even though we had our stories how we were all together kids were cousins and we all lived in different houses we started handing the vouchers in seperately and the bloke on the door said are we all together and we said yes and he said well give them all in together then rolleyes.gif lol no quesytions asked

    You all may laugh, but back in the day before council did individual recyling bins, coke and the sun did a token collect for loads of good things, cds was the main thing I collected for, so me and my then boyfs mum used to go down to the recycling bins and sift through for bottles of coke and newspapers, we must have looked so funny every sunday going through the bins but hey we got lots of free cds and a few other bits. But no now I don't think I would go round everyones recycling bins, I'd prob get reported and arrested. :rotfl:
    O and we did wear gloves. :D

    *coughs* I did this a few years ago with those £5 off time delay and £3 off botanics vouchers in the mirror. I still have a few of the things I bought with them left I got that many!:embarasse

    Most people put them in their grey bins now though and I darent go up people's paths!!:eek:

    Personally I wouldn't worry about it, even with the offer what do they want ID for? You never normally get asked for ID at a theme park. If you're that worried about it, maybe you could give the park you're going to a call and tell them you are going using the vouchers from sun and see what they say about it. Im sure you wont need any though.
  • Thanks for all the advice, but my friends on PTS have given me all that i need:D
    super friendly site they are
