Did anyone manage to get the £5 credit from amazon for having an order (value £20 or more) delivered to an Amazon Hub? The chat person is telling me the offer I opted into on Sunday expired on 9th September 🙄🤔

NoWordForFluffy · 16/10/2020 22:01

Not yet, @thebrightestcoloursfillmyhead. It said 2 weeks after collecting the order.

ninjaturtlesmum · 16/10/2020 22:02

@thebrightestcoloursfillmyhead I did. Hope the photo attaches of the Ts and Cs that came with the email. Code came through email 4 days after items were delivered to the hub. Hope this helps.

@thebrightestcoloursfillmyhead I haven’t collected my order yet but did screenshot this. So clearly the chat person is wrong as it states 5th Oct to 2nd Nov. Perhaps if you send this it will help? Hope so Smile

@makingmiracles

Clearer picture
Can’t get them to work 😫
thebrightestcoloursfillmyhead · 16/10/2020 22:10

Thanks everyone. I must remember to screen shot these offers in future. I got passed onto someone else on chat in the end as I challenged the guy saying the offer had expired. Spoke to somebody else who credited the £5 to my account.

Hadn't realised it was a 2 week wait for the credit to be applied 🤦🏻‍♀️ Maybe I'll get it twice now!

makingmiracles · 16/10/2020 22:13

@TheDrsDocMartens ah shame, maybe they are individual to each catalogue- apparently they were inside the new Argos catalogue

@allatonce99 thanks for the hotel chocolate code! Stacked with their free delivery offer, bargain.

Sunshineskies · 16/10/2020 22:36

Thank you so much for those ideas for sister’s wet toiletries Flowers

@caffeineanddryshampoo

Hunting the elusive Boris the Badger slippers. I was waiting for a fat face code before buying. In the end I have tracked some down in store, although they are apparently selling fast. The sales assistant says they will be getting more in stick so worth keeping an eye out in case they appear online.

Oh god thank you, thought I'd missed my chance waiting for a code Shock

Redwinestillfine · 16/10/2020 23:07

Awesome vodka deal! Thank you @Resistanceisfruitful

Theimpossiblegirl · 17/10/2020 00:01

Just ordered the Sapling Vodka and I have no idea who it is for. Probably me.

myhobbyisouting · 17/10/2020 00:20

I don't need or want any vodka! But I'm probably going to buy it anyway Blush

CoffeeAndEnnui · 17/10/2020 03:01

@1122christy, yes we've had the Film Stories Junior mag for a while now. It only comes out quarterly so if you missed the summer issue your deliveries will probably start in late autumn (so you'll have 4 issues taking you through to next autumn) but you can buy back issues cheaply in the meantime and visit the site for more content.

Sorry if this is already on and I have missed it -

Those buying from hotel chocolat - would the dates be good enough now for Christmas?

Reastie · 17/10/2020 06:41

Build a Bear 25% off, code Save25

Vitamasques 40% off use code FLASH-MRQMW3Q8 orders over £20 great for sheet masks for beauty mad teens or those that take skincare seriously.

IggyAce · 17/10/2020 07:00

@nicky2512 I remember someone posting about short dates on hotel chocolate, received Tuesday out of date by Friday. I would assume if you stick to the Christmas products the date on those should be ok.

Bottl · 17/10/2020 07:02

Morning everyone!
Thanks to you all, I think I've pretty much got Christmas covered in one day Grin
My poor credit card is protesting a little but a lot has been paid for with PayPal funds after a selling frenzy in august/sept.

Shantotto · 17/10/2020 07:08

@CamdenLurker I’m thinking of getting some sheepsers as my budget can’t stretch to the Celtic and Co sheepskin slippers! What are the Sheepers lined with? I thought Celtic and co were sheepskin lined too but I don’t think sheepers are? Thanks!

nicky2512 · 17/10/2020 07:11

IggyAce Thank you. I need a big box of chocolates but not necessarily Christmas ones so I might hold off a bit then. I’m just so keen to get finished!

PinkDaydreams · 17/10/2020 07:33

I hope they honour the vodka code as obviously there's a lot of us ordering it! 🤞
