    I got the Elemis gift Saturday (isn't it amazing how everyone that signed up for the Aveda gift got theirs on the same day). E-mailed them and basically got the same response as everyone else - we ran out- sorry. Am very interested to see what their response will be to this. (By the way I got the August magazine too on Saturday so it's obviously already out).

    It will be interesting to see if anyone who posts here actually gets the offer advertised.

    quick quidco question re magazines - and specifically the magazine group.

    do you get 4.80 per sub or is the 4.80 a one off?

    i've already signed up to one and it's tracked at 4.80 - just wondering whether it will work again! :rolleyes: :D

    I have taken out 4 seperate subscriptions over the past 4 weeks. All tracked through quidco with no problem - all 4 validated today. I think it is fine if you do each one as a seperate transaction. I have read on other posts that a few people have had problems with quidco tracking multiple magazine group subs and some recommend a different cashback site. Ref magazine discussion post at top of page for info. I have never had a problem though :rolleyes:

    I received this reply from IPC about the missing Aveda gift

    Thank you for your email regarding Marie Claire.

    Unfortunately we are currently unable to answer your enquiry at the moment as we are awaiting further information.

    We will contact you as soon as this information has been received.

    Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused in this matter.


    Today I also received this from trading standards, whom I copied it to
    Thank you for your email in relation to IPC Media.
    Unfortunately I cannot access the first link any longer as the subscription offer has expired, I have however looked at another similar subscription offers and agree that there are no obvious terms and conditions in relation to free subscription gifts and substitution of such gifts.
    With this in mind, and the fact that such an offer induced you into purchasing the magazine subscription I would be grateful if you could keep me informed as to any response you receive from IPC Media and any solution they may offer. IPC media is located outside the area of XXXXX Trading Standards however pending comments from the Company I am happy to liaise with the Trading Standards authority in the traders area regarding this matter.

    I'll keep you posted.

    Am so glad someone has contacted TS. I've had a similar reply to the one below, plus another saying it says gifts are subject to availability in T&Cs - but I can't see where it says that and have asked them to show me exactly where. Have noticed that they are currently offering another one of their mag's with full size Aveda products as the enticement... albeit not the exact same products, but they obviously have managed to find some Aveda goodies from somewhere, so how come none of us have received them?

    Quidco will probably decline the £4.80.
    I've recently joined Topcashback, they offer the same, and 4 lots have tracked and they shouldn't be declined.

    They've replied offering me a £7.99 subscription and £40 Body shop gift, which I don't want. They repeated that they are subject to availability. I attached the T&Cs with my complaint and it does not mention availability. I have forwarded it to TS with my comments, and I'll draft a reply once I've heard from them.

    I also haven't received my 3 July issue!
  • Hi I took advantage of this offer and was fortunate enough to recieve the aveda gift.
    I would also like to ask the question how do I go about canceling? Will they make me pay for the gift if I cancel?
