Special Offers Discussion

But if you don't enter the code into the correct box you won't get your voucher will you, I would have thought?

I filled in the Name, Postcode, Email, Password etc - the two empty boxes were this and the passport scheme one, I put it in both to be on the safe side

How are Red Spotted Hanky able to keep doing these offers?

There's been a Facebook one, Money Saving Expert one and now this Web User one.

Seems you can happily apply for each of these offers by registering an account each time.

You would only be in breach of T&C if you applied twice for the same offer.

This thread, although mainly speculative, might interest you.

There was also that one from the Telegraph, or some newspaper or other.

"Unless otherwise specified, the promotional discount is only valid on select journeys to/from London St Pancras International with East Midlands Trains"

Shame it's not valid for local journeys...

Once you have a voucher when does it expire? I can't find anywhere that says. :?

In the email... "This discount code gives you £10 0ff an East Midlands Trains booking through this email up to 31/01/2012"

 

[calc7]

I presume that means any booking we can make by 31/01/12 (such as for advances available in April)?

In the email I got it doesn't give a date, it just says "This discount code gives you £10 0ff an East Midlands Trains booking through this email up to", then it's blank.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
That's odd; on my iPad it's blank, but I just had a look on my PC and the date is filled in. :?

For readers of Web User ONLY. Absoultely do not read on if you don't read Web User magazine : ) OK. http://www.redspottedhanky.com/webuser/ The code is RSHWB10 for a £10 voucher.

The "webuser" box to enter the code seems to have disappeared, so it looks as if the 3,000 £10 e-vouchers may have gone. Seems you can still register but without getting the e-voucher. Boo!

Speaking from experience of previous promotions of such nature, the answer is "yes". You may use the voucher against any booking that can be made by that date.

EMT seem to have retained this particular page for ongoing promotions of such nature. This is the third time in as many months.

No extra advantage for 16-25 railcard holders that I can see since the discount can't be used in combination with the student offer.

By the way in the first post the link for the student offer should not be the TPExpress homepage it should be /students or use the promotion code TPESTUDENT, otherwise the additional discount will not apply.

As it looks the 34% railcard discount + extra 25% off appears to equal TPE's existing 16-25 discount.

For readers of Web User ONLY. Absoultely do not read on if you don't read Web User magazine : ) OK. http://www.redspottedhanky.com/webuser/ The code is RSHWB10 for a £10 voucher.

Has anyone actually received one of these £10 vouchers. The offer states;

"We will then send you a welcome email and an email confirming when your voucher will be available. Please note, vouchers can take up to 72 hours to be added to the created account."

3 days on, all I've received is this ;

"Many thanks for registering with redspottedhanky.com

We are here to help you keep your train travel costs down as well as offering some rather nice benefits along the way.

You can save, on average, an astonishing 51% by booking in advance online rather than at the station on the day*. What's more, we won't charge you any credit or debit card transaction fees, no delivery fees** and now no booking fees, either!

You can also earn Loyalty Points to use against the cost of your next train ticket with us (1 point per every £1 spent). And simply by registering, we have automatically opened a Loyalty Points account for you.

Great rewards and great deals - welcome to redspottedhanky.com"

No mention of a voucher code or how to use it, and when I log into redspottedhanky it tells me I have no loyalty points to redeem.

I got mine a while ago. It's in the eVoucher section of your account.

Did you enter the code into the correct box when you signed up? Maybe you were just too late.

 

[lfc84]

yes the code went into the correct box. I signed up within minutes of the details being posted here a couple of days ago.

Got mine all ok!

It wasn't posted a couple of days ago, it was posted over a week ago. You were probably just too late.

 

[John @ home]

There are currently no loyalty points available in your account.

From what I remember, it doesn't show as loyalty points. It shows as a code early in the booking process.

So I copied the code intending to enter it on the payment page, but when I got to the final payment page I found that had not been necessary. The voucher code appeared automatically with an adjacent tick-box to apply it.

A successful purchase for me!

It should show up in the eVoucher section. If it's not there you don't have it.

I have a Virgin Money card, it says on their train site its only for selected advanced fares.

I have a student card, how good is that when buying a train ticket?

If you have an NUS card, you can get a 10% discount on selected CrossCountry fares here: http://www.crosscountrytrains.co.uk/Special_offers/Treats_and_discounts/nus.aspx.

That's it as regards having a student card.

It's much better to purchase a 16-25 Railcard (£28, or £22.40 if you follow the instructions here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=3715969). This gets you a discount of 1/3 off most rail fares (exclusions apply, see the T&C's on the 16-25 Railcard website), and a discount of 50% off TPE Advance fares when booked through this link: http://www.tpexpress.co.uk/train-tickets/student-discounts/.
