Sainsbury's giftcard woes - overdue and then wrong...

Anyone else had trouble with BT sending a gift card for the wrong amount?
On 25th March I signed up for BT Broadband, with an install date of April 17.  All good so far, install went smoothly.
I then submitted my claim for the £100 Sainsbury's voucher, which was a bit of a faff finding my VOL number rather than order number, but I perservered and found it in the end.
The claim form said something about waiting up to 45 days after install date to receive your vouchers, which seems a helluva long time but fair enough I'll play the game, maybe my card is being designed by hand or something....
So anyway, then June rolls around and I'm thinking, where the heck is my gift card, it's been over 45 days.  So I contact BT via the link provided on their Sainsbury's gift card page, intriguingly on that page they talk about waiting 21 days after claiming before contacting them not 45, so the information isn't even consistent.  Finding the VOL number was even harder this time because my order had vanished from the order history on my account (apparently they expire 30 days after install or something).
After 4 days I then receive a reply, telling me that they've checked and I'm eligible and they have finally sent out the gift card, which could take up to 15 working days to arrive (3 weeks - presumably not only handmade but also being shipped over by ferry from Barbados or something then).
So imagine my surprise when the very next day the gift card arrives (postman wasn't fooled by the fact that for some reason they printed by First Name and Surname on different lines)!  Hooray!!
But wait.  Reading the delivery note, it says my voucher is for £25, rather than the £100 I was due to receive weeks ago.  So now I've had to contact them AGAIN!
I wonder what their reaction would be if upon receipt of their next bill, I don't bother paying it, then when chased up I'll pop a cheque in the post for a quarter of what I owe them?

I just received a Sainsbury's gift card today for £25.  Ordinarily that would be most welcome, however I was expecting £100 and have already raised a complaint with BT.  I too ordered my package on the 25-03-13 (the last day of the £100 offer), but the (rather unpleasant) BT staff member who dealt with me, informed me that (according to them) it was on the 26-03-13.  Perhaps they PROCESSED it on the 26-03-13, but
******I have a confirmation email from them stating it was placed on the 25th******
My complaint is now in their system and I'll update everybody on the outcome, but needless to say if this issue is not resolved to my complete satisfaction, I'll be leaving BT immediately.  Furthermore, I'll be expecting a full refund of my line rental paid in advance and I'll not be paying any early termination fees either (as it is BT who have breached the contract).  I'll also be contacting the Advertising Standards Authority and Trading Standards.
What a way to treat a new customer!

  • BSC WIZARD  GOES SLOW AND THEN WRONG PAGE THEME OR CSS (CS_WIZARD)

    Hello,
    We are trying to use the BSC Web Wizard (/sap/bc/bsp/sap/cs_wizard), but when we all it it always goes to slow (very very slow), and it gives us a web page without any theme or css schema.
    When we see the other web pages (SEM_BSC, SEM_MC, SEM_VDT) the web pages asks us a user and password of the BI Intance. But in the case of the Wizard, it doesn't ask us nothing at all.
    Can someone help me please????

  • ITunes 10.1.1 moving files to wrong location and then losing connection.

    This morning I tried to play one of my albums and it told me it wasn't able to locate the files (on my external disk) so I located them manually and for some reason it has created a new iTunes folder in the root of my HDD (even though the iTunes prefs still pointed at the external disk) and moved the files in to that.
    I deleted the album from the library and then imported the files from the new folder. It imported them fine and copied them to the exiting iTunes folder in the ext HDD but then immediately copied them back to the wrong iTunes folder. Then it told me it couldn't find them again!
    I've now discovered 4 other albums that it's doing the same thing with and no matter what I do I can't get them to import, stay on the ext HDD and remain connected.
    I've re-installed iTunes and restored my library file from before I upgraded to 10.1.1(4) but it's still doing the same thing.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Same here. Shut off Zumocast and that seemed to solve this VERY annoying and tricky problem. Let's hope that was really it. Thanks for the tip!

  • My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?

    My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?
    I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse.  I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze.  When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally.  Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine.  But there are blue stripes on my screen.  The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes.  I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer.  If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed.  I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either. 
    Does anyone else have experience with this?  Is it the firmware or what?  I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Please help... Thanks!

    I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them  the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

    Since iOS 7.1 my phone won't turn on and is asking me to connect to iTunes. I connect to itunes and it says it needs to be restored. Not sure why. I try to restore it and then it says something went wrong and it won't work. So I've been without my phone for a couple days now. It gives me error code (29). The phone almost reboots and then 3/4 of the way through it gives me the error message.

  • I am being asked to verify my Apple ID.  When I enter the password I get the message it is wrong.  It says the e-mail address is already verified for another Apple ID and then it says it is sending an e-mail to my e-mail account that I then never receive.

    I am being asked to verify my Apple ID.  When I enter the password I get the message it is wrong.  It says the e-mail address is already verified for another Apple ID and then it says it is sending an e-mail to my e-mail account that I then never receive.  How do I resolve this?

    This is most likely caused by an iCloud sign up (which forces you to use an email address as Apple ID).

  • I got my iphone 5 Last christmas, all seem to be well then it started connecting a disconecting from the charger and then suddenly stopped so i bought a new charger, it would for a bit then stopped working again whats wrong?

    I Got my iphone 5 last christmas, and then a couple of months after the charger started to conect and disconect, i thought at first it was just the cord so i bought a new one but then it happened again, from this day i have bought 6 iphone 5 chargers and now my 7th and its rarely working whats wrong? and also my sleep wake button isnt working properly?  PLEASe HELP !

    If you are getting Siri when you double tap, then your home button must be sticking. Siri comes up when you hold the home button. Try tapping quickly twice. When that happens, the multi-tasking list comes up and you will see the app icon and then a thumbnail, or reduced size view of the app above it. You put your finger on that thumbnail and swipe upwards with your finger.
    For that issue, you might want to do a reset of the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. This will not affect your data.
    To be honest, your novel is a little difficult to read, and I think you put too much information in there, and a lot of it is unnecessary. Be to the point and just add information necessary to understand the issue.

    I have to believe this has something to do with iOS 7 issues. I have taken my screen blacked out 5s twice to the Genius Bar and the found a bunch of system apps had crashed.  So if this is the case, is iOS7 the problem?

  • Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow

    We have a SP 2013 farm with Aug 2013 CU. While trying to start an SPD 2013 platform workflow from browser I get an error "Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow."
    I could also see the following in ULS:

    This seems to be a bug and is solved in Mar 2013 PU but I have Aug CU. The web where I have this workflow has classic mode auth. Has anyone come across this error before?
    I have checked the following:
    1. Service
    Bus Gateway and Service
    Bus Manager Broker services are started
    2. Authentication for this web application is Windows NTLM

    Thank you for the steps.
    I have checked User Profile service and it is started and running fine. The user who is trying to start the workflow (me) has a profile created. I'm not starting wf as system account and my account is not added to web application user policy. Workflow isn't

  • HT1343 On my 4 1/2 year old Macbook I could select multiple files  by highlighting a file and then moving cursor over a file lower in the list, and pressing shift-control-click. I can't do that in now with Mac Pro.  What am I doing wrong?

    ghlighting a file and then moving cursor over a file lower in the list, and pressing shift-control-click. I can't do that in now with Mac Pro.  What am I doing wrong?

    Holding down the control key will invoke "right-click."
    Depending on the View, holding down Shift will with either toggle the selection (Icon View), or it will make a continuous selection from the previous selection (List View or Column View).
    The only way to make a continuous selection in Icon View is to drag out a selection marquee around or through the icons.
    I can't remember the behavior of previous OS's.
