    Allexie-i also wondered why there was no mention of any sizes on the free jacket they advertise.Anyway they probably would of only been in sizes 10- 16 and  i am a curvaceous(not fat)  size 20 ;)


    yes, all very odd...not very hopeful of getting it at all :(

    Have just had a look at this page, and you can choose the free suede jacket or the £25 discount

    Just had an email from Empire to say that only one voucher code accepted with each order so if you choose the £25 off you don't get the jacket >:( They do say that the free jacket offer will be available for some time though.

    After spending ages looking for something else to take my £29.99 purchase up to £50 to get it all half price, I noticed that new customers can get £15 off their first order. Which in my case, amounts to the same.

    From the site:
    *****
    As a special welcome we're delighted to offer you £15 DISCOUNT off your first order.

    To claim your welcome discount simply enter Advert Code EIR012 when prompted.
    Your discount will automatically be applied and will appear on your first statement.

    Ordering from the site is easy.

    Browse the 1000s of products on the site
    Click on products that interest you
    Click "add to basket"
    Click "checkout" when you've finished shopping and follow the new customer option
    *****

    You have to open an account, ie can't pay by debit/credit card and presumably the £15 discount will appear on there (it doesn't on the order when you have to confirm).

    I've just received my order, I placed using the code as on handbag.com, as I posted on the link. Only to find they've only taken £15.00 off. When I contacted Empire, they've said to me that I wasn't personally sent the code from handbag.com, so it cannot be applied, however this is my first order I am eligible to have the £15 off. I kept on explaining to the woman on the other end that this was the offer stated on handbag.com. She kept on going on about how it's not valid!!!
    I AM VERY UPSET!!!
    I've just emailed handbag.com explaining what has occured. And also emailed empire  sending a link to handbag.com's offer page, because the lady on the phone doesn't seem to understand what i'm saying.

    I posted the details of this for you all just as I saw it, and just as I was hoping to take advantage of it. If you do find that you've not got the £25 off as was expected, I'm sorry, this isn't my fault. But I'm trying to find out who made the error. I will keep you posted as to the progress.
  • Can you tell us where the original offer was, is it still showing on their site or do we have a screen grab. After the Argos fiasco Im ready for a fight!
    Waddle you do eh?

    I received an email from handbag.com containing all their birthday offers and it says

    Your friends can
    join in on our exclusive discounts too, so recommend a friend and pass
    this on!

    So maybe you have to be registered with handbag.com to use this offer??
