Anti-Bargain! CD-WOW cracking down on multiple discounts!

The3rd (Competent) posted this on Monday, 16th August 2004, 12:53

I`ve just had 2 orders cancelled by cd-wow that used the Burtons £1.50 link and a £2 Loreal voucher! It`s against their T&C`s to use more than one discount, but until now i`ve never know them to enforce it.

So be careful if using more than one voucher/link they might cancel your order and as i`ve found, you won`t get a voucher code back! >:(

EDIT: I`ve just looked at their T&C`s and cannot see anything mentioning the use of multiple discounts, but according to both e-mail`s cancelling the dvd`s it is!

Placed an order yesterday combining the £1.50 burton link and a £1 capital one voucher code, just received confirmation of despatch.

Just an idea but maybe they`re only enforcing this and cancelling orders if you`re REALLY taking the p***, e.g. using £3.50 worth of vouchers on a £4.99 product.?? My DVD was originally £10.99.

Anyone else experienced cancelled orders?

Could be they thought I was taking the p*** as the orders were The Fifth Element for £3.49 and Planet of the Apes (original) for £5.49.

That said, my brother ordered Infernal affairs 2 and 3 for £5.49 each and they have been dispatched no problem! Maybe i`m just incredibly unlucky!

Yep - they cancelled an order where I had used one of the Lloyds/TSB vouchers and a link back in late May. That having been said it was a bit cheeky - £2.99 for Aliens (2-disc - director`s cut) - perhaps they just sample a few of the very low price ones - I managed to get a Bug`s Life for £2.99 and a couple more Disney titles!!

Mmmm seems to be a bit hit and miss as I used the Burton`s link (£1.50), the L`Oreal one (£2) AND a 50p off voucher sent with another DVD I ordered. Got a total of £4 off a £6.99 DVD so only ended up paying £2.99!!

Good luck everyone!!

I have been contacted by CD WOW and asked to remove any discount/voucher links. The reason for this is that these links are intended for specific groups only and not for the general public. Using these links is basically fraud. CD WOW have informed me that they will cancel any orders found to be illegally using these links
I have removed all links in this forum.



This was on the latest email from CDandDVDbargains - obviously CD WOW have decided to clamp down on misuse of discounts. Though I have taken advantage in the past, I won`t be complaining about this as CD WOW are an excellent company with good customer service and very competetive prices in the first place.

I agree. Had some good deals but it`s fair enough.
