Reward Amazon £110 voucher not received

[black2908]

I took out a SIM only deal on 11th August for my son.  The deal promised £110 Amazon vouchers after 120 days. - that will be nice, just in time for xmas I thought.  This was up on 9th Dec but I never received anything.

I had an email on 11th Dec from vodafone saying 'thankyou for submitting your details form the £110 amazon giftcard...the voucher will be sent to the email address provided after 120 days...."

It also said if there were any issues to contact giftcloud - I have and they say that it hasn't processed as "vodafone needs to approve this reward as a gesture of goodwill as they have not successfully tracked this purchase"...they will update as soon as they get a reply from vodafone.

I've tried chasing this up via livechat and twitter but no repsonse.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

@black2908 When you took out the SIM only plan, was this done directly through us or via a third party? I can't say I'm familiar with this offer but we'll do anything we can to help out.

I have also had this problem. Followed all the links when signing up and kept the emails but received nothing. 

The only reason I switched was for the offer 

please help

I was advised to go into my local Vodafone store. I took in the email confirmation I had and they added a note to my account and advised I contact giftcloud.

At the same time I also registered a compliant via the Vodafone website.

I received the voucher yesterday. 9 days late but glad they finally paid out.

Not sure whether it was the visit to store or complaint that helped resolve it  so I would do both.

Hope this helps.

I also signed up for this offer in August 2018 - complied with the conditions and signed up online as a new Mobile Vodafone customer for the £20 / 20GB deal only to be fobbed off with no reasonable explanation as to why they will not issue the gift card, when I made the enquiries in December 2018. Gift cloud closed my request the 1st time round & it’s taken them over 1 month to respond - which is still incomplete.

quite frankly, I’m quite disgusted by this and will be changing providers once my contract ends.  I was initially impressed but this customer service has changed my mind as I have been conned into something that Vodafone is not honouring - looking at other people’s experiences.

Hi @Bridge72

That sounds an amazing offer.  Where did you sign up? 

Was this direct through Vodafone or a third party, I have searched the SIM only deals and just can't find the offer.

I contacted gift cloud regarding this issue and they told me they had no record that I was eligible for the offer. They said they passed my details to Vodafone as Vodafone would have to honour the voucher as a gesture of goodwill...... that was over a month ago and I haven’t heard anything since. The whole thing is an absolute joke.

Hi Joe,

if you saw saw my earlier response, you would have seen that I needed to remove the various email addresses in order to post the email received initially when signing up for the offer. You will also see that I have contacted Gift cloud but they won’t give me a proper explaination as to why they said I’m not eligible. Quite frankly, as there are so many customers that are having the same issue, I think it’s more a case of passing the buck and not taking responsibility. 

Customers are lured to join Vodafone with an attractive offer but when it comes to the crunch, then nobody is willing to honour the offer. Quite disappointing & will definitely be re-thinking my contract options when renewal comes.
