Seems like NEXT dirty trick from Online Marketing Department. It was HP few days ago with £40 voucher now Insight UK got a big customer database FOR FREE. "Well done, few quids saved, now send them some spam boys!!"

I wonder if that's coincidence that it always happen during the weekend? It gives people lot of time to inform each other, do pre-buy check, to purchase that bargain, and even discuss it a little after. It saves all worries to delivery department because Monday morning they are all cancelled. Strange...

i went into my insight a/c and changed the email address i had setup to insightaref**kers@hotmail.com . Simples

No cancellation email here, but order has dissappeared from my account and invoice has dissappeared also. I assume no charges were made against my CC either but will keep an eye on that to confirm. Oh well - nothing ventured nothing gained.

Done better than that, I changed my email address to their accounts helpdesk.

It will all go home automatically. opt at uk.insight.com

Treat their email address like they were going to treat mine.

Got my letter today saying it was cancelled it was too good to be true. Everyone make sure you unsubscribe from their newsletter now and don't let them benefit from this slip up to discourage others from doing it too!

Hardly your fault, if it had worked out great but think most people knew they were taking a chance.

And you save $0.02 worthy of its own thread with a bargain like that.
