    Good Morning,

    Thank you for your response.

    Although after being given the run around for near on 2wks with ID Mobile & Curry’s.

    I am like many other customers who have been given Curry’s Gift Cards that are basically Worthless until they are Activated, very frustrated at the wasted time & effort in trying to get some actual support to simply Activate £50 Gift Cards.

     

    The Manager Aden at Curry’s  finally emailed me yesterday 16th April, he said he has been communicating with Medics Team & Management at Curry’s, but claimed there is still No Solution & thanked me for my patience.

    Hence I am back to square 1.

    With respect if your claiming it will take 2weeks for these Gift Cards to be Activated why have I been given numerous other responses like wait for 24-48 hrs last week & other fictitious solutions to Activating these Gift Cards, none of which have   Worked. You have a lot of people with the same issue it’s basically misrepresentation in sales which Trading Standards & the Ombudsman wouldn’t take kindly to I’m sure.

    With respect The 2 Weeks are nearly up.

    I’l do as you suggested & go into Curry’s Store on Sat 19th April  & let’s hope these Gift Cards have been finally Activated.

    Meanwhile it would be wise for you to inform any representatives who work for ID Mobile to stop fobbing people off with any more excuses when they turn to ID Mobile for Support related to CURRYS £50 Gift Cards.

    If any other person/s who has upgraded etc  & received a £50 Curry’s Gift Card that is still not Activated.
    Please try to use the Gift Card at Curry’s , as this Manager has suggested after yr 2weeks, & put a response on this Community if you have been successful.

    Lets hope we the customer’s finally get what we signed up for 

    ”A Curry’s £50 Activated Gift Card”

    Yeah same just tried my card again and still shows as card inactive.  Don't understand why inactive cards were sent out i worked in retail and know how it works it's simple scan type 50 n enter!  Ridiculous but offer is an offer so I want that £50 just like others

    Hello MatthewT,

    I tried the link typed in Curry’s Gift Card Numbers & security code as you suggested, 
    it Simply Does Not Work.

    Message pops up telling me “something’s gone wrong”
    The only thing that Has Gone Wrong ID Mobile & Currys are advertising this promotion & it’s A Scam. As there appears No one has been able to Activate there Currys £50 Gift Card

    Hence not going to be any different in Curry’s Store.

    Although 2wks is up tomorrow, ID Mobile Manager messaged me a couple days ago, claiming Currys Gift Card should be activated within 2wks????
    whereby il go to Curry’s store yet again to try to Activate Gift Card.

    So instead of giving us Customers the Run around Communicate with Currys & sort the issue out once & for All please.

    Or I think Trading Standards & the Ombudsmsn would be interested how ID Mobile & Curry’s are Scamming Customers.

    It Simple Matthew, ID Mobile Just Need to Activate my Gift Card. 
    They’ve got the No on my personal Gift Card.

    Ive given to numerous other reps at mobile who have given me the run around.

    No more excuses. 
    Just Honour & Activate the Gift Card sent to me. 
    Or send me a New Gift Card that is Activated.

    Sadly Your Gift Card like mine is 1of many Curry’s £50 Gift Cards that are still Inactive & Worthless.
    But ID Mobile must have known this when they upgraded peoples Accounts & sent out Worthless Gift Cards. 

    More so Web Chat claim they were not authorised to Activate My £50 Curry’s Gift Card, but appeared to be Authorised to try & get me to accept £20 off my Bill.

    It’s plain & Simple ID Mobile, just Activate & Honour Curry’s £50 Gift Cards that you advertised on upgrades. 
     

    Im still waiting for a reply via Email from ID Mobile. I specifically asked for Email so they can’t  give me any more hoops to jump through or any more excuses.
