Money off coupon 'chat' thread

A question about : Money off coupon 'chat' thread

Help!!

I've just found a wad of Love2Shop vouchers (about Ј200's worth) but I've had them stashed in an envelope in a box in my spare room for the last 4 years since getting them from work.

There's no expiry date on them but the website says they are only valid for 18 months from issue. Can I use them, do I have any recourse or is this just a valuable lesson in timely management of vouchers received?

Best answers:

• Are you sure about the dates ?
  I've got 4 x Ј5 vouchers. There are 3 different designs.
  They came from at least 3 different places over the last 2, maybe 3, years.
  They ALL have expiry dates - sadly one is out of date
  The newest pair (expiring 31/9/12 and 31/3/13) has the date on the front, "middle top right" between the Love2shop logo and the Ј5 value in the top right-hand corner.
  The other 2 both have the expiry dates (31/03/11 & 31/03/12) on the reverse, where the barcode and T&Cs etc. are, and they are in the bottom right-hand corner - on the "counterfoil" bit
  (all my vouchers have a perforation at about the 25%/75% point that allows it to be separated into 2 bits)
  The expiry date text is NOT microscopic such that you need a magnifying glass to see it
  HTH
  
• New vouchers have expiry dates on them - only know this cos I did park savings club last year. There is a high street voucher website.. but its currently unavailable?!
• Have you tried contacting them?
  0845 601 4807 - there's no alternative number on SayNoTo0870.com by the way.
  Or try 01323 848 686 which I mananged to find searching Google. Please report back if this number gets you through to Love2Shop.
• Thanks all. I will give them a call tomorrow morning seeing as its Sunday.
  Quoia - They don't have expiry dates on them. Obviously if they did I wouldn't have posted! As the vouchers are at least 4 years old I assume they have changed this now. They do have issue numbers but otherwise no other information.
  I'll let you know how I get on...
• Thanks all for the advice. I have spoken to Love2Shop today on the number on the back of the voucher.
  I have the old style vouchers (no longer issued) which many retailers will now not accept. So they have agreed for me to send them my old vouchers and they will exchange them for the up to date ones.
  Result!
• what's with all this bickering?
• hi couponer
  please don't start up a disagreement again
  we don't want the thread closed again, it may not be your intension but posts like that are what start things off unfortunately
  stuff referred to by BT
  is non coupon related posted, like freebies, coupon altering posts and such like
  just to add re: you post to CBC being nice works both ways. new poster and both your posts not overly friendly either.
  PLEASE ALL PLAY NICE FOR THE SAKE OF THE THREAD AT LEAST
• well said MT , all this is childish.
  So much nastiness .
  Can I suggest a way forward is for us all
  to ignore the people who keep complaining about petty things?
• hi hollyd
  those are the board/forum rules not mine.
• hi couponer
  at the risk of being moan at again i will reply.
  text size was in the hope someone may bother to read it
  and yes coupon chat is fine i never said stop that , its the disagreeing/bickering/ tit for tat picking at posts that i was referring too which really isn't coupon related
• Come on guys I am a newbie here and it is putting me off we are all here for the same reason we should be working together not working against each other. Now put the differences aside
• I often don't post on this thread, but do keep up to date with postings.
  MT is doing a stirling job of managing this thread, for everyone's benefit.
  She has to work within board guidelines, and tries too ensure that the posts do too, so that this thread keeps on topic.
  Those of us that have used MSE for a long time now, have seen threads lose their manager, and get closed down if they go off topic.
  If new users wish the threads to continue, I'd suggest a little politeness to all, and do read the initial posts annd thread rules.
  MT gives a huge amount of time to update the threads, and does so willingly. Please support her so that we can all continue to benefit.
• In the interests of everyone, please can the next incarnation of this thread please just be called 'Updated Printable Money off Coupons & Policies Thread 25'.
  I admit I am a recent convert to this thread and have found many a bargain because of it but the last few weeks we seem to have so many people going against the spirit of the thread and it is only going to spoil it for the majority of others.
  Perhaps if the 'and coupon chat' was dropped from the title, it may help?

• Ignore any posts please, do not want to get this thread closed, do we?
