scam vouchers dont trust

was bought a voucher for christmas for a spa day with 50 minute treatment and lunch. expires in december 2026. went to book today and the experience is no longer available. I spoke to someone on webchat, and explained if the hotel is still there, it still offers treatment and lunch why the voucher cannot be used. all i get it, "voucher no longer valid please chose another experience". but there is no comparable option, it is either book a similar experience which doesnt offer the same and leaves you with a £40 credit, or you have to pay a lot more. Do not buy vouchers from this company because they are misleading and a complete scam!!

how can they make receiving a gift so…

how can they make receiving a gift so difficult to use. The website is difficult to use, the vouchers are then not recognised. No phone number to contact customer services, have to go through an AI bot to eventually contact a person on there web chat after a 10 minute wait. Customer service opening times are ridiculously short. Not a customer friendly site at all. Makes the receiving of a gift such an unhappy experience. I would certainly not buy a gift for a friend from here
So after a day of going backwards and forwards with emails, I was issued with a new voucher, however, when getting to the point of order, the second voucher would not let me complete the purchase. So here we are again, I guess this means another day of emails .....

Not good value for money

I felt the experience I bought was overpriced and when we got to Bannatyne they had 40% off massages, lunch for under £10 and it was £25 per day to use the facilities. I’d recommend checking to see whether it’s cheaper to book direct.

Absolutely disgusted this company steal from it's customers i had a voucher worth £80 which was a Christmas gift from my son so we thought we would go for a short break and paid another £79.99 but then couldn't get the dates we wanted so buyagift then refunded the £79.99. Leaving me with the original £80 voucher an paid £20 to extend the voucher. So have now paid another £99.99 to book a different break away which left us with £50 in credit buyagift have now said we don't have any credit left. But unable to have a phone conversation with anybody at this company. SO BE AWARE OF BUYING FROM THIS COMPANY.

Excellent customer service

Olwam was brilliant, my concern was dealt with swiftly and generously.

I am now able to enjoy the gift from my stepchildren, with my husband, on our upcoming holiday.

One of the best customer services I've ever dealt with, and a system that works without long waits or frustration which is a refreshing change!

A relaxing gift turned into three weeks of hassle
Nearly three weeks chasing a simple issue, irredeemable voucher, no promised callback, unanswered phone route and directed to a website that didn't work properly. Eventually a helpful agent, Roxanne, resolved my option to simply get a refund within minutes, which made me wonder why getting there had been so difficult. The time and effort involved were ridiculous. Very disappointing experience.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Phyllis. We're very sorry to hear that what should have been a relaxing gift turned into such a frustrating experience.
We sincerely apologise for the difficulties you encountered, including the issues redeeming your voucher, the lack of a promised callback, and the problems reaching us. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we understand how disappointing it must have been to spend so much time trying to resolve what should have been a simple issue.
We're pleased to hear that Roxanne was able to assist you and arrange your refund quickly. Your feedback is invaluable, and we'll use it to help improve both our processes and customer experience. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we hope we'll have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.
