Pure Pre-Paid Visa Card

[mking007]

I'm having the exact same problem as the OP, got a email to say i didn't qualify for a sainsburys £125 card

I DIDN'T APPLY FOR A SAINSBURYS CARD!!!!!

I was to get a £100 pure pre-paid visa card, which i have claimed for, 3 times i have called bt customer services about this, they said all details look fine.

First email (got a reply back today to say i didnt get the sainsbury card??)

2nd email i got today 

My broadband went active on 2nd June and that is when i claimed online for my pre-paid visa card, well over the 30 days.

The trouble is the on line customer services is based in India. They have certain messages that they are allowed to copy and paste. If they go off protocol their English is appalling. It's funny though if you ring BT to tell them you want to leave you are put through to a lovely English person who is only too happy to speak to you, and the leaving line is open longer as well. I am still waiting.

I have contacted you, hopefully you can get this sorted quickly, thanks.

I take it that you have finished with my problem if you have time to look at someone else's who has posted after me, it's just that I'm still waiting from May the 29th,
And haven't had it resolved yet.

I too have the same problem. I checked to ensure I met all the terms and conditions.

I switched from virgin media, taking broadband, phone, TV and BT sport, within the specified timescales, so eligible for £125 pre paid visa card. My order was placed on 8/5, my kit was installed on the 16/5, and I claimed for the card on the 1/6. It's now 7/7 and still nothing.

With the offer intended to attract new customers, it is disappointing that once on the hook of a contract, the first experience of BT's customer values, is not a very positive one. Maybe I should have stayed with Virgin media after all.

Come on BT,  sort this mess out please,  there are a lot of new disgruntled customers waiting.....

I think it's worth chasing up the pre-paid visa form using the link given earlier in this thread.

I initially applied for the card one day after my installation. After not hearing anything after 30 days, I used the web-form to chase it up. I received a reply saying that they would get back to me within ten days. I also noticed that the subject of their internal mail was Sainsbury's Gift Card so I made sure they knew I was enquiring about the £100 pre-paid visa.

I received two further emails after I had asked if it had been sent out yet. I then got an email from Pure Card - a day later the card finally came in the post. So, if you haven't received your card yet, my advice is to keep at them.
