Vodafone Not Honouring £75 Amazon Voucher

Hi everyone, I just wanted to get some advice. About 3 months ago I changed our broadband to Vodafone. I think I went through MSE. There was a promise of a £75 Amazon voucher 120 days after purchase. That was yesterday and no voucher. So I emailed them about it. They’ve come back with this:

“Our system shows that the order was made after clicking through a link from a voucher code website. Only orders made directly through our affiliate link are eligible for a voucher, and the transaction must be completed in one session without clicking away or returning through a different partner link.

As our system shows that the last click through was through a voucher code site, and not our affiliate link, the transaction does not meet the terms and conditions and therefore, you are unfortunately not eligible for a voucher this time.“


I’ve tried challenging it but they’re not budging. Anyone else had this problem? Is there anything I can do?

    If you didn't meet the terms of the offer, and challenging their decision has failed, probably not - unless you have a way of showing you did use the affiliate link. It sounds as if you can't remember (?how many of us would), so I fear you are stuck with their decision.
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    Hi
    Ask the voucher code website for the voucher.
    EG:  The Giftcloud Team

    Not VodaFone but I got my voucher.
