I have some paracetamol tablets that don't work. Well, according to my wife, they don't clear her headache on a Friday night!
Would this work as part of the 'glitch'?

ok guys it does work, you can use multiple e vouchers online for home delivery, I have 3 Samsung tablets coming tomorrow, at a total cost of 0.98pence to me. My brother has a further two arriving for him
(he has a laptop repair shop so had a graveyard of tablets to sift through)

I've done it ! :smile::D: PC World staff EXTREMELY helpful for once. Had to jiggle about with refunds and stuff but managed to get a Free tablet and 20 quid on a Gift Card :smile::D So happy . Love you all :smiley:

You can still trade in old tablets inc cracked screens but they've changed the terms so only one voucher per transaction.
Now you can choose tonne really cheeky and return your unused brand new tablet in order to get a refund onto a standard gift card!!
I could end up with a free iPad Pro or a new tv etc etc

Well done to you and others who managed to get this

Yes they have updated. I took a screen print of the t & c and just checked 9. Not in the original. Thanks OP as I did get one for £129.

Trade in any tablet & get up to £100 off this product

Trade in available in store and for Reserve and Collect orders only. Not available for Home Delivery orders.

Now showing as this on the website.

They wouldn't take my son's tablet with cracked ​screen as trade-in but all other's were fine.

didn't take advantage of this but thanks for posting OP

Yes they updated.

In bold, is this the update of the T&C's to stop multiple vouchers being used or was this on the document earlier too?

9. The e-gift card may be used as part or full payment in a Currys or PC World store. Maximum of one trade in gift card can
be redeemed per transaction. There may be restrictions on the items against which the e-gift card may be redeemed,
where this is the case you will be informed in advance and the e-gift card will specify the restriction.

Has anyone traded in tablets with cracked screens?

One trade in per tablet to buy.

Well done op and those who got it, I'm too lazy to try but still reading posts :smile:

Expired. Terms and conditions have now been updated.
:disappointed:

Hi sunriser - at Staples Corner were they not going to let you trade in multiple tablets at the same time? Or were they not going to let you apply multiple vouchers against the purchase of a single new tablet?

Would it have been possible to use the vouchers and buy the new tablet online whilst still in-store?

anyone tried this at tamworth or coventry?

Thanks for reply micky4rl. The staff were all extremely helpful and tried ways round the system and contacted support but couldn't get passed the system only accepting one. Eventually they took two tablets and put through one voucher and a £50 manager's discount. Was in store for an hour. Have a few more tablets so like you said I might try an online order. Appreciate your reply :smiley:

@KattyK. To be honest I had the same issue re: one promo voucher per transaction but I left the store and went to another and thankfully I met more helpful staff who took every steps they could to honour the vouchers as it doesn't state on the terms and conditions how many you can use in a single purchase. Try another store or order them online as the other gentleman above said.

Good luck

Did the three trade ins go on one e voucher or separate vouchers?

Comment

I have a total of 5 tablets arriving to my home address tomorrow, all free as you can imagine I had a lot of old tablets to trade in
You have to use 5 vouchers on each order online for delivery, not collect in store

I went to the store but they said each customer can only trade in one tablet :disappointed:

​Ends tomorrow. I traded in 20.

expired. says monies off software.

Nobody out of the kindness of their heart want to donate some evouchers ? God loves a trier!

​Yes Dave I have the screen capture to send if I know how to upload pics on this platform.

Wish I was 100% certain this would work, has anyone got a screen capture of the vouchers added to a order which shows the voucher amount taken of the total to pay? Bilal101?

In theory yes re the expiry but don't they have to be used and redeemed on this tablet only, so the 24 months would be irrelevant?

Comment

Yes, and the duty is hat the vouchers have 24month expiry

Very good question! but who knows the answer! :smiley:

So, in theory I could go to several stores today and trade in one tablet at each one, then id have enough evouchers , so then I could order for home delivery and stack the evouchers, is that correct?

​which store you went to?

I'm going to keep them happy by letting the staff member keep 5 of the trade in tablets for him self

I found a much easier way if use the E vouchers online and buy the tablet for home delivery you can stack up to 5 vouchers at a time

​Before you risk too much, try with 3 trade-ins first and see if they will honour the evoucher. It wasn't easy and I will admit that.

Wow!!! I just got the tablet for £79.99 having paid £150 with the e-voucher from 3 trade-ins. I must admit it was tough and I had to be calm, persuasive and let the lovely ladies behind the till make several phone calls and several checks.

I happy to have got the tablet.

I've traded in 15 tablets so far going to be trading in another 15 later once I've taken them out the laptop repair shop I have

Don't waiste your time, they just won't reply. The same happen to me and no response till today

I've went to the store in Ipswich the manager refused to trade for minimum £50 for non working tablets and he was surprised about the list like he never knew about it
So just waisted my trip and patrol

As previously stated those that got them got lucky , as soon as this is raised as an issue (and it was always going to be) then Head office will instruct all stores to only allow 1 trade-in voucher per tablet.

We already know that the e vouchers can be changed to giftcards by just returning the tablet for a refund in which the e voucher element would be refunded onto a giftcard. However this would need to be done 3 times to allow a £200 discount (4 trade-ins) , now that is an entirely possible workaround but please bear in mind some stores will only allow 1 trade in per person so this makes the workaround a little more difficult :wink:

PS. All this needs to be done by end of play tomorrow when the offer ends.

​They can trade 1 x evoucher and then the other 4 they can change to gift cards of same value and then can use all 5 against the purchase.

What store was this?

I tried earlier (in Chorley), and one of you lot had already been in trying it with 3 tablets! (reps91?) They said they'd emailed HQ to ask if they're allowed, and that I should come back tomorrow to find out (I'm guessing it'll be a 'no')

didn't work in Bracknell, they already had someone asking and they checked it can be only one voucher per purchase. You can trade in as many as you want but need to use it for separate transactions I was told.

As I suspected this is completely hit and miss , well done for those that got them :wink:

I took 3 tablets to trade in but they said they would only let me trade in 1 tablet per person

Wouldn't do it for me As they said it states a tablet on the list. Would only give me the £100 for 2 tablets as a good will gesture. Never mind worth a go :-)

I suppose a phablet wouldn't count. What minimum size to be accepted? Is it the usual 7 inches to be satisfied...

Could you buy for example these pieces of junk and trade 5 of them in? https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/multi-function-learning-tablet-4:laughing:

​Yes. I used 2 x Nooks. and couple those kindle ereader things

Does a Nook Colour count as a tablet? have a pair of those . . .

Thank you moorofc.

​Thank-you.

​Neither of mine had chargers. They put the tablets in envelopes to send off without chargers/accessories in any case.

I like the sound of this I have 4 broken hudls in the loft. Guess I can only give it a go :-)

Do you need to bring chargers with the tablets for the trade in? I would like to trade in 5 but I am not sure they will take all of them.

I've done it ! :smile::D: PC World staff EXTREMELY helpful for once. Had to jiggle about with refunds and stuff but managed to get a Free tablet and 20 quid on a Gift Card :smile::D So happy . Love you all :smiley:

​Glad it worked for u :smiley:

OK. Just done this. Traded in an old slow and buggy nexus 7 and a non working Linx 10. £50 each so got the Samsung for £130 which I am very pleased with, as was about to spend £600 on a new s3 which would have been a waste as I only use tablets for surfing and a few apps.

You need to be careful when you trade the tablets in. Tell them that they are valued at £50 working or not. It is also vital you ask them to issue the credit onto non-promo gift cards as only one promo card can be used per Samsung tablet. Mine were issued on two promo cards, and I spent half an hour waiting before the admittedly cool dudes in PCWorld found a work around -buying a tab with one of the discount cards then reissuing a refund onto a non promo card. I then used one promo and one non promo card for my £100 off.

I did ask if the £100 was the maximum value per trade in tablet, or the maximum amount off the Samsung and they weren't sure. I think the former, since their system definitely had instructions to the effect of "if a customer is trading in more than one tablet then issue non promo gift cards as only one promo gift card can be used per purchase".

Nobody else has tried this and posted any feedback on here as yet , just the Op so far :wink:

Catch up ..... This has been covered already in this thread and we are only on the 2nd page :wink:

It says max discount of 100 gbp tho? so how did u use more than 100 on one tablet? or did they just give you regular gift cards which u spent on the tablet?

has anyone else tried this, would be nice to get rid of blackberry playbook and hudl 1

​just tablets

what do the terms and conditions say? (the small print that's usually worth reading as it usually contains the full details of what you need to know)

will these work with old laptops or just tabs

That particular manager at that particular store , others may find a different response from managers at different stores is all I am saying. Like I said , the terms may not specifically state that you cannot trade in multiple items but throughout the terms and conditions they refer to a single trade item/product , never multiples. :wink:

Also , their terms do not state that if there is cosmetic damage then the tablet would be treated as broken but like you said , there is a checklist on their screens which they have to select which determines the amount that you would receive. This is not in their terms and conditions either so it does sound to me like they have their own set of rules regarding this and it cannot be assumed that what you got is what everybody will get.
If I had broken tablets available to trade-in I would definitely give this a go for the risk of petrol money to my local store but I wouldn't risk buying broken tablets to try and get this :wink:

Hmm, think their T&C's are a bit flawed, clearly states up to £100 off Samsung A 10.1" which they're selling for £229.99 but on the trade-in table from the T&C's they'll give £418 on an iPad Pro 256gb :confused:

​When I spoke to the in store manager and asked about the amount u can trade he agreed it didn't state how many per customer can be traded. Without that clause in their T & C's u can use multiples against 1 transaction

Hi. Did you trade it in in store and bought online or did you buy it in store. Was it just 1 e voucher for the whole amount ?? Thanks

​When they check tablet they have an on screen checklist which they need to tick if any visible damage like broken or cracked screens etc. Usual wear and tear is accepted

Where is that in the terms and conditions ?

Cosmetic damage does not mean the item is broken. My car has a chipped windscreen , is my car broken too then ?

The amount given for your Trade In is not in question and I understand your voucher can only be used towards the purchase of a new a6 Tab .
However , its states that you can trade in a 'tablet' not 'tablets' so potentially this could be reason to refuse whether that be on redeeming (multiple vouchers not being accepted perhaps) or upon trade in. Although you could always get several people to go in to obtain multiple vouchers so it is quite possible that they will use their terms and conditions to refuse the use of multiple vouchers upon redemption ... interesting to see more feedback on this.

It does sound like you got lucky though OP and if you don't try you don't get so good luck guys :wink:

I didn't have any broken tablets to trade-in so would have to buy them , not taking the risk personally as I can see this being refused at most stores.

It would be non-working if you took it in with the battery flat.... I doubt they would try to charge it up to prove it does work!

got a working iPad 2 with a cracked screen, is that considered working or non working?

which store you went to?

Theres a list of tablets in the terms and conditions you can use, OP are you saying you can use ANY? Even tablets on that list?

Lol! . . . I can see what you're saying . . . And I Like It . . . :sunglasses:

Let the fun and games begin, wonder if I can find those two tablets in the bedroom without waking the boss up. :smile:

Ok may have to wait till the morning!

​I agree, however I do think op has a very good case

​Issue was they giving well over £100 Trade in Value on some of the used tablets. So u can only use that voucher against the New one. You can't spend it on anything else.

From 1st March 2017 until 31st March 2017, we are offering
up to £100 off a new Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1” tablet,
when you trade in any tablet.

Sounds like any tablet to me , not any tablets. Potential problem , no ? I wouldn't expect this to run smoothly for everyone :wink:

​It did. Issue is they are giving more in value then the maximum of £100. Like the Ipad Mini 3 16gb wifi is £155 ...which has to be used against the new tablet.

Nice

Yup, I get that but it says on the page you can get a maximum of £100 off. Or did it not say that at the time?

and it says now £100 off. so you can't get £250 anymore

​I traded 5 x broken Chinese/no named tablets which were £50 each (5x50 = £250). Used those vouchers against a new Tablet at £229 so it ended up not costing anything

Forgive me if I'm missing something but surely that doesn't quite answer the question - it says you can get up to £100 off the tablet. Surely that would leave you paying £129.99 even if you traded in two old tablets?

Sorry can you please tell me where I can buy tablets for £20. I don't mean paracetamol :laughing:

Interesting. I will go and have a dig through my 'projects' cupboard in the morning. I'm sure I've got 4 dead Google Nexus 7's in there...

It's a poor excuse for one.

Get one of these whilst you're at it...

​Found it. Doh. Sorry and thanks

​OK I've read the post twice more and I think I get it now.. But u can't find the T&Cs from your image. Do you have the link pls? Thanks v much

Sorry to be a pain but is it this tablet?
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing/tablets-and-ereaders/tablets/samsung-galaxy-tab-a-10-1-tablet-16-gb-black-10148587-pdt.html

I can't find an A6 version on the website, and this one T&C states it has to be working...

Do you think I could trade in an old hudl?
Thanks

Also the £100 trade in doesn't work as an Ipad MINI 3 WiFi working they'll give u £155 off :smiley:

How much did you get in trade in value? Says maximum £100

lolololololol

I have some paracetamol tablets that don't work. Well, according to my wife, they don't clear her headache on a Friday night!
Would this work as part of the 'glitch'?
