Oh that’s a shame.

I do wish shopping for consoles wasn’t so stressful

Also, does Currys have a limit on how many vouchers it will let you use in store? Spending over £100 worth vouchers might seem a bit dodgy

1 voucher is essentially useless to me like I’ve said before. Does anyone fancy buying mine off me and I can send them over the print out/etc 🙂

Sorry if this is not kosher, I just figure that someone should reap the rewards of a bargain.

Thank you for contacting Mighty Deals Customer Support.

My Name is Ashanta and I am going to help you with your enquiry today

I can see this voucher has been cancelled and refunded as during the daily checks, this was found to be a duplicate.

You have attempted to purchase several of these using different email addresses and they are clearly stated as one per customer.

Therefore, all but one has been cancelled and refunded.

I don;t have a timeframe for the refunds, but have requested it and will share when I know. 🙂

Thanks Lewie, I’ve been given a couple of codes but I suspect the rest have been cancelled.

I am fairly confident that worst case scenario is going to be getting a full refund.

I’m keen to keep tabs on this too; I have had the same issue (one voucher arrived, the others no-show and not on the accounts, but the money was taken). I’m keen to see what happens next….

I’ve started receiving a whole bunch of cancellations for the PayPal payments that were Pay After Delivery.

No word in the payments that went through as Pay Now.

(For some reason 50% went through as Pay After Delivery, 50% as Pay Now)

I’ve automatically received one e-mail to one of the accounts about a refund.

So just 19 or so to go… 🙂

I’d probably give it a few days and see how it plays out. I’m in a similar boat to you, and that’s what I’ll be doing.

I’ve got 6 vouchers currently, I was able to use fake details for both registering and redeeming the vouchers.

I’ve only had 1 go through. The rest have been processed payment wise (Paypal) but the other accounts all show up as “no orders”.

1 voucher is essentially useless to me but worse is that I’ve lots of money spent on Paypal with nothing for it. Has anyone started claiming back yet? I’m assuming if they don’t just refund me I’ll have to file a claim on each one.

Yep, I got 4 vouchers printed but my 5th and 6th purchases have been taken payments but removed from each account as though iv’e never made the purchase (yet won’t enable you to make another purchase). No refunds given at the time. I made the last purchases at about 1:30pm on Tuesday.

Update: They’ve rescinded the purchase on _all_ accounts.

I saved the 5 vouchers I did get yesterday as PDFs — and printed them off for good measure — so those should be safe.

The Gestapo are closing in.

Exciting.

It looks like they’ve cottoned on. While I managed 5 purchased via card yesterday, none of my PayPal purchases (which all went through successfully) have been furnished with a voucher. In fact, the purchases have been entirely removed from the accounts in question! This is despite the money being accepted.

Karma’s a bitch, but I’m prepared to fight for a refund if needed. We’ll see if they have a response tomorrow. 😉

Some more info for you: After having spoken to representatives both on the phone and in-store, they both say it is possible to make an order online, have it delivered to a store, and then pick it up there (they call it Pay and Collect). When you pick the item up, present the vouchers, and they’ll “refund” the value of the vouchers on to the card used to pay for the transaction.

If you don’t trust them to do this, their returns policy states that you can return an item to them if it’s unopened within 21 days. So if the store refuses to comply for any reason, ask for a refund there and then.

Finally, via their price match policy (http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/price-promise-1023-theme.html – which applies up to 7 days after the purchase occurs) you can get a refund on the difference between them and any of Argos, Asda, John Lewis, Tesco or AO.com, so long as it is ready for home delivery (i.e. in stock).

The cheapest I can see the console from accepted retailers is £239 from Tesco:
http://www.tesco.com/direct/mario-kart-wii-u-console-bundle/117-7839.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=117-7839

This means you only technically need 24 vouchers for this deal. But I only got 5, so never mind. 🙂

I don’t like the idea of dozens of accounts worth of spam coming through my door.

Thanks for this, I’ve managed to get 10 vouchers with your mobile site/paypal tip, as I’m only after a new kindle paperwhite, and am going to get them to price match tesco and argos. I’m guessing that will work as these are gift cards, not offers.

Yeah, I have found a workaround for this though! Check back in the morning.

I tried a different card but it didn’t go through. I suspect it’s based on the address? I also tried switching IP address and my wife’s card for a different name. Neither worked.

It was during the payment stage that my orders got held up. Pretty certain that if you have managed to pay, your order will go through fine.
