Online voucher service

<p>I was given a voucher to use at Boardmans. On their website at checkout there is an option to submit a voucher code. Having used a voucher code with the last month, I know this facility works. However it will not accept my gift card number.</p> <p> </p> <p>When I called into their gift card center to query this, I was told there is no voucher option available online. I informed the very bored sounding sales person that I was looking at the option. The conversation got increasingly heated as she insisted credit and an account card were the only options. I insisted I had used a voucher code within the last month. She said it had changed. I asked why the website still offered the option in that case - "they are working on it". If you remove a facility online - remove the functionality - it makes it impossible as a client to navigate your system otherwise. I asked if she could not take down my gift card number and exchange it for an online voucher code, but she instisted this was not possibe (even though I had used an online voucher not one month ago and this seemed like a reasonable solution to a ridiculous problem). </p> <p> </p> <p>Now I have to drive back to the store and do not get to make use of any of the online only deals. Disappointed and inconvenienced is an understatement.</p>

Reviewer Update

Low and behold. I ordered less than a third of the items I had wanted to based on not being allowed to use my gift card (even though one cannot find this rule anywhere and the restrictions for gift cards are listed on the card - shopping online is NOT one them) - now they do not have stock of my requested item.

Have cancelled entire order although I am nervous because it seems Boardmans do not process refunds based on many other reviews here.
