Just been to newsagent asking for yesterdays- no luck, they have given them back. Also have checked e-bay with no luck and have e-mailled Daily Mail for advice!

Any other thoughts?

Try WHSmiths. Normal newsagents have to return unsold papers at the end of each day so its not possible to get them. However, some branches of WHSmith will have them for the whole week. As the wholesaler is WHSmith, they tend to reutn papers weekly or twice a week.

I have yesterday's Mail on Sunday, but can't find the vouchers anywhere, anyone know where they are?

Has anyone had any problems with availability? I have tried booking a single from Chester to London and I can find no availability for the whole of April.

There aren't any in Sunday's unfortuately. I did the same thing!

The tokens are the least of my problems! I bought the Daily Mail yesterday and today, and tomorrow I'll get the 3rd voucher. You need to present them with your ticket for inspection.

The main problem seems to be availability. The system shows some availability on my route of interest for next week, the offer also excludes 18-27th March, and I can't get any availability for April, so the tokens are looking a bit worthless at the moment...

I telephoned Customer Services and they have no way of checking if the allocation has all been taken or whether there is a fault in the system. (Last week independently of the offer I couldn't get this route online at all, I just got an error message and was told I'd have to book it by telephone. The Daily Mail offer is only available via the web.)

It seems the campaign has been a great success as you all bought copies of the Daily Mail thus increasing sales; some of you bought the Mail on Sunday which you did not need to do thus increasing sales; and the train operators have sold some extra seats as well, so everyone's happy.

Or did you perhaps think this was any more than the usual con?

I've used this offer for the last three years and got bargain tickets to go to London each year. Going in a couple of weeks, first class there and back for less than the virgin "value" standard class single fare. So NO it's not a con.
