    Saw this on a different forum (although not sure how long the promotion is valid for or how many vouchers are available!)

    Go to www.cd-wow.com/thepeople and type in (IN CAPITALS) -
    XU7F6-D97GJ , you will then be sent the e-voucher!

    Argh! I ordered a CD just half an hour ago! Ah well. The £2 will still come in useful! Thanks for that!

    Ah it's OK. I'm gonna order something else now. I seem to be able to apply for more than 1 voucher, they've sent me 3 so far. Only 1 voucher per transaction though. :)

    I was able to enter again and again, but when I checked the code it was the same one over and over so you will only be able to use 1.

    BUT, the gmail trick is working where you put a +1 in the name.

    e.g. if your address is john@gmail.com
    enter john+1@gmail.com and you get a different code.
    so copy the code XU7F6-D97GJ into you clip board and keep pasting it in. Your old email remains so just click and enter another digit, no need to delete.

    i.e. use john+1@gmail.com
    john+11@gmail.com
    john+111@gmail.com
    john+1111@gmail.com
    john+11111@gmail.com
    john+111111@gmail.com

    I believe (although it doesnt say it on the email!) that these codes have a limited shelf life and are only valid for a few days (as its being run in accordance with The People newspaper) and also that its limited to 75000 £2 vouchers so might not be much use going mental getting £2 vouchers for stock piling them unless you got alot of orders you want to make! :D

    Ah you're right! Ah well, I have 2 vouchers using 2 different email addys.

    Airplane 1+2 DVD for £5.99 with the voucher is not bad! :)

    It might be worth setting up a gmail account just for this. I have 50 now! nothing to lose if they are limited, but there is no mention like samo said.

    Thanks samo! :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,530 ✭✭✭patch


    I orered one dvd so happy enough.
    But, tried to use thye +1 trick, now says 'invalid code' ?
    The voucher code given above is hardly run out is it?

    Edit: Ooops, working fine now. Dunno what I did wrong....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,386 ✭✭✭✭rubadub


    still works for me, try again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 345 ✭✭Gibs


    thanks for that!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭RichyX


    Do you enter the code when you're at the checkout stage?
    Can't get it to work & I want to order a copy of Oldboy :(

    You use the code above to to get another code emailed to you. You use the second code at the checkout by clicking "go" and pasting the code in there from the email.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,120 ✭✭✭andrew1977


    Hi

    Where abouts do i type in the first voucher numbe XU7F6-D97GJ r so i can get the e-mail sent to me

    Cant find it anywhere on the webpage

    cheers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,371 ✭✭✭acquiescefc


    This appears to be OVER as the 'people' address goes to cdwow homepage now.

    Im not sure if the offer or the vouchers expire on wednesday, I guess it must be the voucher if the site is back to normal.

    QOTSA dvd for 11.99 coming my way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭RichyX


    You use the code above to to get another code emailed to you. You use the second code at the checkout by clicking "go" and pasting the code in there from the email.

    Where do I enter XU7F6-D97GJ in order to get the email with the other voucher code sent to me?
    Why couldn't they just be as nice and easy as Play.com were before Xmas.

    See my previous post.

    It still goes to the People promotion page for me so I'm not sure that it is over yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭RichyX


    I feel like an eejit now.
    It's on the first page that loads.
    Just scroll down and there are two boxs for your email and code.

    Ordered the 2 Disc Oldboy DVD :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,179 ✭✭✭shnaek


    Yay! System of a down cd on the way at £4.99. Nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 900 ✭✭✭cosgrove80


    Just ordered the Toy Story 1&2 boxset for £13.99 (region 3)

    Not a bad price seeing as Play have them seperatly for £15.99 each


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 990 ✭✭✭mickymg2003


    I have about 30. Technically this is fraud!!I'll probably only use about 5 of them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,107 ✭✭✭jones


    anyone want to pm me one of their £2 off vouchers i missed out!!!!

    pleaseeeeeeeeee


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41 Numan


    It's still going :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,371 ✭✭✭acquiescefc


    I believe it ends at midnite, I imagine the vouchers last after that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,120 ✭✭✭andrew1977

    One sure way to find out is to click the OP's link :D

    But surely that could mean clicking 'Page 1' or even worse still having to reading the whole 2 pages thread again.

    Thanks Samo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 159 ✭✭BumFluffy


    add, these volchers seem to work inconjuction with a discount link - to get even more off.CD WOW used to frown on this practise before


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 171 ✭✭jeromeof


    Hi,
    Tried this code, got a voucher, entered the voucher on the check out and it seemed to work. I.e. They charged my Credit Card, I got an order reference etc. but this morning I got a email back from cdwow stating the following:

    "Your order has been cancelled for the following reason.

    The Terms and Conditions of this promotion state:

    Applicants must be 18 or over and live in the UK. Employees of cd-wow.com, their families and agencies, and anyone directly connected with the promotion is not eligible to apply

    Therefore unfortunately, we cannot accept orders to be delivered to Ireland so your order has been cancelled and a refund processed back to your card."

    So I guess they don't work for address in Ireland, UK Only, they might work for NI though.

    Did you try doubling up the code with the discount link?
    What did you buy? what value? I have heard of them no honouring if they do not make a profit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 159 ✭✭BumFluffy


    Mine has shipped, to Mayo.
    and I used a volcher WITH a discount link.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,179 ✭✭✭samo


    I ordered Madagascar the day I posted the link and it was dispatched the same day...thats very unlucky jeromeof!
