I don't disagree with you at all.

What I find disingenuous is the OP, and others, who have been posting 
the same thing several times which state "using a discount voucher they 
sent you" and refusing to confirm that in-fact the discount voucher WAS 
actually sent to him personally and not picked up off someone else.

If the voucher was picked up off a web site or whatever then they should 
at least be honest about it. Let's see all these people who have had 
this "using a discount voucher they sent you" dishonoured (where it 
hasn't been shared etc). Has the OP actually seen this voucher? Has he 
read any small print on the voucher? The questions are valid and haven't 
been answered.
