Terrible customer service
May 30, 2022

I paid for our item, and only once paid was I asked to make a further payment for delivery. The item arrived open, damaged and missing parts. The merchant was helpful and said the courier was negligent. She confirmed they couldn't refund delivery charges as they don't charge! I had to use WhatsApp to communicate with Wowcher and they said they don't charge delivery! When I asked him to confirm that in an email he suddenly offered a credit to my wallet. When I asked for a refund and would he please escalate, the call cut off and went to a survey. I've now contacted them 3 further times and before they've even read my messages they just refer to the merchant. I then get another survey to complete and there it ends. A complete loop. I don't want to deal with Wowcher again. The goods are inferior and customer service is truly non existent. I now have £20 in a wallet they say I have to use within a couple of months or I lose it. Very clever Wowcher but totally unprofessional and dare I say verging on fraudulent if not illegal practice.

I purchased 2 driving experiences for christmas for my son and his friend. I thought they were valid for 12 mths. However you have to pay for them, redeem them within a month and then you have the 12 mths.
I didn't realise that. So I have lost £100. They were unwilling to help out. I feel this company is a large con and recommend NO ONE ever uses them

DO NOT USE FRAUDS
May 9, 2022

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, they are thieves. I had £42 in my Wowcher wallet and because I didn't use it for 1 month they just removed it from my wallet. The customer services said sorry computer said no, it's in the t&c that if you don't use it you'll loose it. THEIVES!

Disgusting service
April 28, 2022

Ordered two items at once but was forced to use Wouchers individually and that meant paying the mailing cost twice - plain stupid given that the items were coming from the same place to the same place.

There WhatsApp contact system is appalling as it says they will respond in 24 hours (which they didn't) - and then when they did respond 2 hours outside of that time and I didn't respond to them within an hour, so they closed my query!

They seem to go to great lengths to avoid any normal means of communication like phone or email - forcing customers down the WhatsApp route - which did not suit me at all as I am not a user of that App and didn't want to be forced into downloading it.

They also make it impossible to simply delete your account from their system online - the only way to do it is by WhatsApp, - or if you look online, you can find a phone number or email address for them.

The point is that they just make things difficult to do for the customer - possibly because many (especially non-technical people) will simply not follow through and contact them.

STAY AWAY, STAY CLEAR.

This is a con, rip off. No chance of ever getting a refund.
No refunds, no contact telephone number. A scam
I purchased a item for £23.99
Next thing I know I was charged

£23.99 again
£4.99 VIP Wowcher customer
£7.99 delivery

Thats a grand total of £60.96
No customer service number
No reply
A whats app contact (automated) which then quotes you are VIP member and you will get a response with 24 hours...
Absolutely a disgrace and con.
This is the worst site ever.
STAY CLEAR OF WOWCHER.

The site will bombard you with emails and spam messages. This is horrendous. Avoid these rip off merchants at all costs

Blooming swindlers!
April 3, 2022

"Quilted memory 3000 Pocket spring double mattress"…
We purchased a "Quilted memory 3000 pocket spring matress where we paid £134 plus £20 for delivery. After having slept on it the first night, places where our bodies laid have sunk! Total disappointment! Our old mattress is in a better condition than this one! I am disgusted that first time ever I bought something from wowcher proved to be totally useless!... to make things worse they tell me I cant return the matress after just one day!... do not have antyhing to do with these thieves!

As of today this is what I received as a response of SUING boyh Wowcher and PayPal: (you people should also do the same to these thieving companies.
AS of today this is what I received from wowcher (paypal also wants to settle it out of court):-

Do not shop with this company for anything, how they haven't been investigated is unbelievable. How they get away with keeping your money if you don't know about redeeming their vouchers and refusing a refund or a new voucher is a disgrace. DO NOT SHOP WITH THESE THIEVES

Del Boy could learn some tricks from Wowcher
February 26, 2022

Without doubt the worst company I've ever had the misfortune to buy from. No customer service, I actually think this is one person working from home and from the hundreds of complaints already on various sites I'm not alone. For 5 weeks I've been chasing them / him for a refund which from the looks of it I'm not going to get. I have Whatsapp them 15 times and emailed 6 times and am no nearer a resolution, I have told the CAB about it and written to Trading Standards - I'm now taking them /him to small claims court wish me luck! Someone's got to stop them trading
