Warning - Birmingham Bull Ring Vouchers

dnomyar

Sorry, if this is in the wrong place but thought I should warn all shopping in Brum.

Birmingham Bull Ring Centre have started selling shopping vouchers for all the shops in the centre. The con is that unlike other stores who give you the vouchers for free (knowing that they are going to get a garanteed sale), they charge you over 2.00 for the vouchers. Also if the person you give the vouchers to, does not use them within 90 days, they start deducting a monthly charge of the value of the voucher. To me this is a big con and advise everyone going to the Bull Ring not to buy the vouchers.

Why thank someone for posting in the wrong forum. This is the grabbit forum for posting great offers which are going shortly. If we allow this forum to go the same way as the shop till you drop forum then we may as well have a free for all on every forum. Defending them only encourages it

The rules for posting on the grabbit forum are here

Dinglebert, at what point did you take it upon yourself to become a board guide? because frankly, reading your downright rude responses to peoples posts is starting to get dull.

The rules here are simple, be nice to all moneysavers. A quality you seem to be failing to exhibit.

the phrase if you cant say something nice say nothing springs to mind.

Should a board guide decide the thread is in the wrong place a board guide will move it, so with the greatest respect, butt out.

Thanks for the warning OP, that is very wrong...

I was reading on the BBC site the other day that gift vouchers are a right money maker for shops because people never spend them because they forget / lose them or on say £10 voucher, only £8 gets spent then the rest get wasted so shops love them because they make loads extra off them....

E.g. getting someone a gift voucher and they lose it or just don't spend it is like going into the shop and giving them £10 for nothing in return!!!

But the above charges are a joke... the monthly charge is a scandal... not like it costs them anything if they don't get spent!
