Thanks F_Drew.

What the bloody hell is going on you're right. I'll put it back on the main page later on and leave it there.

yeah i had it working for 1 day, so i immediately ordered 5 dvd's

now it is not working anymore...maybe update here everytime it works?

What is the best link to use right now btw? (which will surely work)

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 21 Apr 2005, 11:27

Good idea

£1 link + £1 code for DVDs/CDs and £2 link + £1 code for Games.

Er OK but I dont read the Star

Also its' annoying I've only got 8 days to spend it

They took long enough to send the bloody thing out.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 22 Apr 2005, 22:04

You registered though.

I did but so did my Dad who sure as hell didn't register. I reckon they sent it out to everyone who is a member. I know 8 says

. I only used them 10 mins earlier to (from work). I've asked if I can have a £1 refund on my order.

Sorry but how exactly do i get £2 off DVDs ?

I got £1 off via the link, what about the £1 ?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 23 Apr 2005, 11:57

No worries

Get the £1 voucher code (the pepsi one, number 3 I think) + use it with the £1 link.

£2 off for DVDs. LMK if you get stuck. You paste the code when checking out.

jimmyscab · Post by **jimmyscab** » 23 Apr 2005, 13:08

EDIT : got it, had to clear my cache

erm i still cant find it

They all seem to be discount links and not voucher codes.

Is the pepsi one supposed to be sent to you email ?

jimmyscab · Post by **jimmyscab** » 23 Apr 2005, 13:30

wait, they sent me a link not a code !

Hmmm

weird.

That's a common problem with CD WOW.

It's this one:

"02. CD Wow - £1 off, with thanks to Bullets n Babes member Demented_uk, (new and existing customers). Required CODE: 5437 GXWZ 16P8 513Q: "

Number 2 in fact, they send you a code in the e-mail.

jimmyscab · Post by **jimmyscab** » 23 Apr 2005, 19:40

thanks alot Brad !

it worked this time :p

City on Fire for £8 - bargain !

Ricochan38 · Post by **Ricochan38** » 25 Apr 2005, 07:33

i also got the message from play for 1 pound discount....

ps

is the 20% off working again at cd-wow ?

Not at the moment. I'd keep trying though.

I have 2 £1 vouchers that I'll probably post here as I can't see myself using them. £1 off at Play is still more expensive than elsewhere.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 27 Apr 2005, 16:46

Brad have you noticed none of the £1 vouchers (the "link" type) work? I have deleted my cookies etc but they're not giving me any money of DVDs..

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 27 Apr 2005, 21:11

The £1 link (number 4) works fine for me. Do you have access to another browser than IE? If so try that.

Have you tried restarting your PC?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 28 Apr 2005, 09:18

No, but I'll try it now.
I managed to get £2 of anyway because I went to the Bargain Basement site and used a link there.
Only got access to IE. IE is cack.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 28 Apr 2005, 18:14

IE sure is. Download Mozilla Firefox:

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

It's much, much better. The only reason most people use IE is because it comes pre-installed. Even in it's latest SP2 version it's wildy out of date + has HUGE security holes by allowing ActiveX content. Mozilla doesn't support ActiveX which means a few sites don't work (use IE for them) but it's worth it as ActiveX is so buggy it should never have been invented.

UPDATE:

* The two DVD Soon vouchers are expired.

It's all a bit quiet on the voucher front I'll have to do some more searching.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 11 May 2005, 22:51

The 20% voucher is working again!

It can be found in the usual place! OR rather it's kind of working, it certainly knocks something off when you click the link but searching for titles are shown at the usual price.

Bad timing for me as I've bought enough DVDs this month. I have a CD on pre-order but by the time I've cancelled the order it's bound to stop working and besides it will only save me 75p

Ricochan38 · Post by **Ricochan38** » 12 May 2005, 08:09

its not working for me today

But i still can use 1 pound off links + 1 voucher ...

degeneration · Post by **degeneration** » 12 May 2005, 10:20

It isn't really working, I don't think.

I click the link and everything on the front page has 20% off the shown price, but as soon as you click on any other link the price change has gone. Even if you clikc the add to basket icon on any cd that says £7 on it or something, it appears in the basket at full price...

f_drew · Post by **f_drew** » 12 May 2005, 11:19

Done a bit more investigation into this and the 20% IS available through www.cd-wow.com/smartsave . HOWEVER, you have to have a SmartSave card (whatever that is) to be able to use it as they ask the card number.

It also states that any use of this fraudulantly and they will revoke the discount.
