[jamie4711]

I feel well and truly done over. Not out of pocket, but principle. After waiting the 3 months and tracking my progress thorugh out on the countdown for your voucher page. I'm now not eligible?! Gift CLoud contacted vodafone but can't give me a reason. These are such scams. As this was the only reason i joined Vodafone as the price could be matched elsewhere! Am i the only one whos experienced this where they've suddenyl decided you're not eligbile!?

Firstly I'd just like to apologize that no-ones been in touch sooner @jamie4711 - thank you for also reaching out to us @charlieilok 

I can understand your frustration about this, sometimes a Home Broadband order can be cancelled for reasons outside of our control and then replaced, and I believe that some third parties sites consider this as voiding the offer. 

So we can look into it further for you both, please come and speak to my team on social media - we can also check what's happened with your landline number too @charlieilok

I’ve had similar but giftcloud told me I’m eligible. However it’s been a month since they told me I’d have the voucher in 10 days and now they tell me their manager is “looking in to it”?? This is a false advertising rip off. I’ll give it 1 more week and then I’m contacting trading standards. 

The only reason I went with Vodafone was because they offered a £150 Amazon voucher and BT offered £120! It’s a joke and clearly just a way to get people to join, then by the 90 days, most will have forgotten or just give up.

It really is not a scam. The reasons why these voucher schemes fail are myriad.

To choose the ISP you join on the apparent voucher/cask back is, whilst understandable, fraught with problems.

Hope you get it sorted eventually.
