The vouchers should be valid in store. I would be careful as to only use a handful at a time ( if anyone still has any). Also some of the larger stores sell amazon gift cards ironically.

In reply to XanderXAJ. And they spent OK. :)

In reply to Toonami. Turns out you can check the balance of the card via an automated free phone number: 0800 897163. Mine checked out OK.

Confirmed, be careful using multiple as stated by the owners of the website. If the person in store gives you trouble they need to “ADD GIFT CARD” not VOUCHER and type in the long code (not the PIN) into their machine.

Has anyone gone to Currys and been told their vouchers don’t work? I would like to avoid this if possible so if it has happened to anyone, please share.

18 of my 20 PayPal purchases were refunded today.

Since the two accounts that didn’t get refunds already show up as having never purchased a deal, I’ve gone through their support channel and said “I’ve changed my mind and want a refund” for those two.

Intriguingly, the order shows up on the list in the support page, and shows up as purchased on the product page. But not on the deals page.

While going through the support process, it displays that all vouchers come with a 7 day money back guarantee if you change your mind, but only if you haven’t spent the gift card (naturally!).

This means two things:
a) They can determine the value of the gift card;
b) They (presumably) can void or revoke the balance on the gift card.

tl;dr: Don’t be surprised when you walk in to Currys to find most/all of your vouchers worth nothing. I’ll find out on Saturday.

No worries, Lewie. They can’t all work out. Thanks for keeping an eye on things, and for all the effort you put in. Keep fighting the cheap fight. 😉

Oh, and I know it’s meagre, but I hope my SavyGamer subscription has been helping you out these last few months! My budget says I’ve given you a total of £4! So generous… 🙂

They refunded 21 of my PayPal purchases tonight & provided codes for another two. One missing, unsure if it’s worth logging in with every account to find out which one it is.

In reply to James. I'm unsure, but it's pretty clear that if they are able to do that, it will only be if they are refunding you. I think most people's purchases got cancelled or put on hold before vouchers were issued.

In reply to James. Oh wait, when it says "Mighty Deals and our partners will not be honoring your duplicated vouchers purchased", do they mean the eGift cards we're redeemed won't be accepted by Currys?

Thanks for the update, I’d managed to get six the first day, I ordered another 4 but I’m not sure if I’ll be getting those.
I wonder what part of the process gives it away that you’ve ordered more than one, IP checks could be got round but if they’ve got your payment details, it’s probably too much hassle to do anything about it.
Good luck to those waiting on more vouchers!

Just buy Steam/Itunes/PSN/Microsoft cards instead – no loss.
