Unfortunately, the QR code didn’t work on the recipient’s gift pack but she managed to activate it from my copy email. Apart from that, it was well received.

Ok, but could have been better
The morning was good, although it's a shame you don't get to drive the cars as they should be driven. Too many coned off sections to slow you down on each little straight, which also meant it was hard to get past slower cars. Some of the cars not in great condition, they look good on the outside but not too good on the inside. Normal track day is much better!

Hard to make reservations
Red letter days sent me an email address that I had to use to make my reservation. But no one replied at that address. Instead I had to visit the restaurant physically to make a reservation.

Great package
The package we received was very striking and appealing as our Christmas present. It was easy to activate but the only thing I found was that I had to phone the tour provider to complete the booking process. He was not there, so I had to wait for him to call back. He was really helpful when he did ring back.

Not straight forward to redeem
Although you claim it is easy to redeem vouchers, I didn't find it easy at all.
Very easy for people to purchase, not so easy for recipients.

Reply from Red Letter Days
Thank you for your feedback Keith. We're sorry to hear that redeeming your voucher wasn't as straightforward as it should have been.
We understand your frustration, especially when the purchase process feels easier than the redemption experience. Our goal is to make using a voucher just as simple and enjoyable as buying one, so we're disappointed to hear we fell short in your case.
Your comments have been noted and will be shared with the relevant team as we continue to review and improve our redemption process. If you're still experiencing difficulties, please reach out to our customer support team with your voucher details, and we'll be happy to help.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Gift vouchers not received, although I received confirmation
I ordered gift vouchers for someone else's birthday, I did it on the day of their birthday so they received the email on the day. Unfortunately although I received a confirmation the recipient did not receive the email. I hadn't let them know I'd sent anything, but was surprised there was not a thank you, 3 days after I asked and was told, no email. It was easily remedied by contacting customer services, but I wish they had just sent the email and he'd received the gift on his birthday, it should be a straightforward process which would be generated automatically. I was disappointed that it didn't work as planned.

Thank you for your feedback Mel. We're sorry to hear that the gift voucher email wasn't delivered as expected on the recipient's birthday.
We completely understand your disappointment. Purchasing a gift voucher should be a simple and reliable process, especially when it's intended for a special occasion. While we're pleased that our Customer Services team was able to resolve the issue quickly, we appreciate that this did not make up for the recipient missing the surprise on their birthday.
Your comments regarding the email delivery process are valuable, and we'll ensure this feedback is shared with the relevant team for review. We want our gift voucher service to work seamlessly and provide the experience our customers expect.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we apologise for the inconvenience caused.
