Post by: Brucey on January 27, 2013, 14:52:16
Simply collect three codes printed in The Sun this week, then enter them here (https://www.media-promotions2.com/redspottedhanky/) to get a ^9.50 voucher for Red Spotted Hanky.

Saturday's code: RAIL
Sunday's code: VISIT
Monday's code: BOOK

A good shout! Hopefully it will work (will try when mondays has been confirmed).

Those codes definitely work as it emails the voucher to you immediately.

There have, however, been some issues getting the voucher to be accepted on the RSH website.

Presumably 1 voucher per person actually means 1 voucher per valid email address?

It does work - thanks Brucey.

Probably per address devon_metro.

Probably per address devon_metro.

Would be a shame if I was to have two addresses  :-X

Done- got mine. Anyone know when the offer expires?

I've got 3x voucher codes with my 3 separate RSH accounts, I've tried adding one to my account or using it on a test purchase but that didn't work. I expect the batch of codes will only be activated once the offer is 'live' following the publication of the third 'password' in tomorrow's The Sun.

I did enjoy filling out the form with spurious address details and ticking boxes saying I never read The Sun or The Sun on Sunday. I didn't give a phone number either. I ain't giving News International my personal details. Although I'm sure they could get them by illegal means if they wished. They have form in that area!

Already working, got a code for trying it out emailed to me. Can confirm above codes are correct.

FFS... I get the message: All the codes are used.

Perhaps News International has cottoned on... >:(

Snooze you lose :D

Terms and conditions say it was only the first 30000 entries, interesting that 30000 have been applied for before the last code was even released!

I can see some complaints heading toward Wapping in the coming days!

All those The Sun readers waiting on the final 'password' tomorrow, beaten to the offer by the massed ranks of rail enthusiasts and moneysavingexpert subscribers!

*gets popcorn*

I reckon The Sun are going to have some disgruntled customers tomorrow!

On the tube this morning, I peered over someone's shoulder and saw today's code is BOOK, not BREAK as previously suggested on other forums.  I have edited my original post to include the new code.  I would suggest those who had problems should try again with the new code.

Nope still none available Brucey, although I succesfully claimed yesterday with BREAK

Just went to use my voucher - apparently already been used!

Anybody got experience with RSH Customer Services?

Mine wouldnt register so I gave up, didnt give me any error messages, just tried to charge my debit card full price.

I've had the same experience with the last two offers from RSH.  I'm tempted not to bother if there is a third time.

Isn't this a case for trading Standards if they're not honouring an offer?


Title: Re: Free ^9.50 Red Spotted Hanky Voucher
Post by: JayMac on February 14, 2013, 18:38:35
Kinda depends on when folk attempted to get their voucher. If they used the leaked 'passwords' before the final one was published in The Sun on Monday 28th January, thus circumventing the terms of the offer, then I don't think they have much of a case to go running to Trading Standards.

None of the codes I got on my three RSH accounts worked. But then they were obtained before the offer was officially 'live'. Tried to get something for nothing and failed. I won't be complaining.

All of the code quota was taken before the end of the Sunday night, so therefore I'd assume they'd decided that every single voucher was incorrectly obtained

Fair point.

I believe RSH released a further 10,000 codes and The Sun printed a different 3rd 'password' on the Monday.
