Never again
February 22, 2023

Never ever again! Very disappointed!
I purchased a helicopter ride vaucher, but I couldn't use it because there were no dates available for the event that I needed it for. I got nothing in exchange, no refund, no credit, no possibility for using it on another vaucher. They told me a have redeemed it, which is not true because I have not booked a date! Before that I tried to exchange the wowcher for credit or a different vaucher,they told me their policy is having to wait 72h after purchased, to be able to use those options. Well right after the 72h passed, the exchange vaucher button on their website disappeared! Skamed me really well. I was promised for a credit and 10 pound from the company as a apology for the inconvenience, - Did not happen!

Warning about Wowcher
All customers beware, I purchased a deal as a gift for someone but unfortunately they couldn't use it in the dates supplied. I booked it through the actual vendor instead and got it for the same price.
I have continuously asked Wowcher for a refund as it hasn't been used or booked but they have REFUSED and a £100 of my money sitting with them and they will not give it back.
You can not speak to someone in person about your problems?!. They make you WhatsApp them with an automated service which keeps repeating the same thing and that they have credited the money onto my account?!. So basically I HAVE to spend my hundred pounds with them, which I do not want to buy ANYTHING with them.

This is an absolutely shocking and unbelievable service. Terrible customer service and management.
I can tell you that I will NEVER purchase another thing from Wowcher ever again. And as a customer I should be bake to request a refund for something I have never booked or used.

December 23, 2015

I have been trying to print my Wowcher voucher for over 2 hours now as the Salon needs a hard copy of the voucher to be taken with you. The "Get Voucher" link does not give you a "print" option despite their claims that it does.
I am just going round in circles & their FAQ's are hopeless. My appointment is 1st thing tomorrow & I cannot speak to anyone at Wowcher to resolve this.
ABSOLUTELY HOPELESS SITE & CUSTOMER SERVICE.
DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED.

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.

Wowcher dont bother
September 9, 2021

Wowcher is a total rip off selling poor quality goods the goods are from china and very poor forget wowcher customer services its useless they dont issue refunds for goods purchased any refund is half the amount you originaly spent put in what is called a wallet with a limited time to spend your credit needs investigating seems to take you money and not send you the goods one instance was we purchased a bra that was £9 pounds and was charged £20.95 for 3 they never turned up found out we had been charged £60.00 for one item and couldn't get a refund customer services that is via whatsapp says refunds are not part of their policy so basicaly its theft statory consumer rights entitle you to a refund but Wowcher doesnt seem to realise this

I bought a spa experience on Wowcher but the spa was unavailable during the voucher dates. "No problem" I thought because I'll just get a refund. I must have misread the terms and thought an automatic refund comes through 14 days after the voucher expires if not redeemed, so I waited. It turns out I was wrong and I should have requested the refund within 14 days - my mistake.
But I asked Wowcher for a refund and explained the situation. They were unsympathetic and unwilling to refund the money even though I got nothing in return and it cost them nothing.
I had to argue a case and only got Wowcher wallet credit. They also applied the wallet refund before I confirmed I'm ok with that. The customer service agents were very rude and I have screenshots of their rude text tone.

I think it's terrible that a large company won't just refund what is a small amount to them, but considerable for the average customer. They could easily have given a refund if they wanted to (a simple bank transfer even), but instead chose to keep a hold of the money in some form.

I also only had ONE WEEK to use the wallet credit they added, giving me very little choice and flexibility.

I would strongly advise people to avoid them.

Chasing for my refund
June 11, 2021

I purchased a Mattress on Wowcher and paid 19.99 delivery. Firstly the mattress did not arrived on the date it supposed to arrive I had to chase it and when it finally arrived I got a different mattress, I contacted the supplier Mattress Heaven who agreed to collect the mattress at their own cost however they don't accept they are misleading people and the customer service asked me to contact Wowcher and told me they did not charge me for the delivery but Wowcher, when I checked my bank the delivery fee was paid to Livingsocial
There is no number to reach Wowcher and still waiting on whatsapp for an answer
My advise don't waste your money or your time
First picture as advertised and the second what I got no where near the same mattress
