Wowcher are thieves
August 6, 2022

Do not trust this site, they steel my son's money and refused to refund it. This is a manipulating site and making excuse that you have to redeem to steel more money from me but i am not letting this going without fight. Do not trust this site (WOWCHER).

I downloaded the Wowcher app on my iPhone and was immediately asked to provide my email address, which I declined to give. Instead I proceeded with my Apple ID. Ever since then I have had a barrage of unsolicited, unwanted spam emails the volume of which I can scarcely describe using words found in the English language.
In accordance with Data laws of the UK, I have emailed Wowcher asking them to remove me from their spammy junk database and to cease sending me unrequested drivel. So far they have ignored every single such request (and there have been dozens). So I am now escalating this to the ICO who are apparently already gathering information about this sham outfit for their abject failure to adhere to the laws governing data.

Would I download Wowcher again? Only if my life hinged on it, and even then I'd think twice.

We purchased a holiday deal on 9th February and as off 18th March we still have no holiday booked and are being ignored by both wowcher and the holiday company. We were meant to be going on 21st April but have no holiday to go on and no refund. Avoid wowcher at all costs they take your money for scam deals and refuse to help you when there is issues.

Up to 25% off airport lounges wow! Cost of lounge with voucher at Birmingham £26.55. Without voucher £29.50. So saving nowhere near 25% and when you take in the cost of the voucher £2.50 the net saving 45p. WOW!

The customer service is really bad as it feels they keep you at arms length to communicate with them only via a WhatsApp bot. They enticed me with a spa only to find out after going through their long process to acquire it, the spa was not available for our anniversary so we had to book elsewhere. Then with the tricky to access customer service bot I finally got through to request a refund and they enticed me to put the funds in a wallet, at the time I wasn't sure if they did refunds. So I accepted, I tried looking for something of interest that I needed however there was nothing. When I looked the took the funds from the wallet then citing rules of a time limit and went away with my £140. They did give me another short period of time after I pressed via WhatsApp. However there was nothing I needed to buy and they took off with my £140 as if they worked hard for it and I have nothing.

I've never experienced this before, except when someone tried to rob me at school, but even then I got it back.

Hours later recieve an email... wowchers solution?!... to email the same merchants I have provided them proof are liars and copy me in?!?! WOWCHER WHAT COULD THIS POSSIBLY ACHIEVE! I will be reporting to trading standards, watch dog and anything else I can think of!

Pay postage twice.
June 10, 2022

I paid for 2 items on wowcher, 1 offered free delivery and 1 asked for postage charges at check out, which I paid. Then when I went to my account to redeem the wowchers the 2 items asked for postage charges before the items could be dispatched. I contacted wowcher through their watsapp contact o 3 occassions and was given the wowcher redeem details which I already had but no other help. They then ended the chat. I'm going to contact my bank to see if I can get a refund as wowcher are not interested in helping.

A scammer behaviour!
April 12, 2024

Disgusting company that doesn't take care of its customers and the only thing that they look at is profit and scamming customers.

My voucher was going to expired in a few days and I went to the website in my phone to download and use it that day.
By mistake and because the website is not designed properly I pressed the button "extend" I even didn't notice it.

I download the voucher and closed the website. I opened my email and I received the bill of the extension of the voucher...than I didn't want to buy at all! They took the money without any warning and any message to make aware the customer that he was going to buy something! Absoluting appalling behaviour, a behaviour that a scam website could have.

I used the voucher the same day, as I was planned to so I DIDN'T NEED the extension. I try to explain to them but the customer service is totally pointless, they see money in and it is the only thing that they care, again, disgusting!

Never ever again! Million of other site do your job much much better and without scamming people, you should be reported!

Booked a second trip with Wowcher after a great trip to Milan. New trip to Faro - Travelodeal upsold the hotel for another £120 on top. No problem so far then trip cancelled and Travelodeal told to rebook at original price of £89 pp. They didn't and are now disputing the conversation as they have it recorded and are denying any refund. Can I hear the recording? No just endless avoidance. Wowcher are the same and have only contempt for their customers as any contact attempted is a pitiful interaction with an AI bot on WhatsApp! What greatly concerns me more than this is that Halifax Bank will NOT even contemplate a chargeback involving Wowcher...it's against Halifax Bank's policy?

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
February 21, 2023

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!
I bought and paid £100 for an item that I never received. I was sent incorrect tracking details that were not even for my order.
I then wasted days trying to get some sense out of the staff at Wowcher. Absolute waste of hours of my time.
They couldn't find my order, they couldn't fine the Wowcher number, blah blah blah.
I asked for a refund or replacement and I am still waiting weeks later.
Don't waste your time using this scamming joke of a company!
