This promotion has been a disgrace, I won't be buying in Esso again.

Ah lads, don't go blaming the garages, our local one and the people that own it are sound as anything, they wouldn't have known the hassle it would be to get our free tickets.

Still no ticket yet and redeemed code a couple of weeks back, ticket should've been here within "2 working days." Maybe they're all off sick :rolleyes:

Dr Bolouswki

i sent in 6 tokesn with receipts - only got one voucher code today.

wilser

Still haven't received mine yet

leuler

I sent in vouchers for 6, but not all till receipts.
They sent me an email with 3 codes, then I got a mail from them with the extra vouchers and a letter telling me that I needed receipts for these vouchers.

The thing is that the vouchers weren't extra ones, I just didn't have all the receipts. I did send the Visa stubs, but they sent them back and said it must be itemised till receipts. They did say that I could submit receipts for March 'as a gesture of goodwill'.

nobbe

I sent a few in January and then a few in early March, never heard anything back.

Called the number many times, never answered..

I would agree this was an utter disgrace for Esso.

This style comment appears for any such promotion. Like the Colgate one in '10

I'm still waiting for some acknowledgement btw. I'll be joining you with a pitchfork if I don't get my ticket

okidoki987

Some good news.
I received 3 codes last week but they were in my spam folder.
3 tickets sent for, 3 codes received.
Signed in on the website but got a bit worried after I put in Dublin and only got choice of 3 cinemas on the Northside and 1 on the Southside - Liffey Valley which wouldn't be much use to me.
Then put in Dundrum into the search cinema box and Movies at Dundrum appeared so 1 Happy punter .
I'd say they got way too many people taking it up and will be a while sorting them.
No excuse not to return calls though.

flutegirl

Right lads, not impressed at all!!! :mad:

Got in from work this evening to find an envelope with letter and my original vouchers/receipts saying that I didn't enclose enough till receipts and to read the terms and conditions. I sent my 3 vouchers plus 2 receipts...

Ts and cs state that 2 or 3 receipts can be included along with 3 vouchers. So, I will be on the phone first thing tomorrow morning, and will be photocopying vouchers and receipts before they go back in the post, back to Hertfordshire!!!

Jeez, I think it's just flippin' easier to pay the 9e or whatever for a cinema ticket.

if its 2 receipts, one must be over €30 and one over €60.

Dunne.Drift

I had a huge problem with esso over the movie tickets & codes to recieve them. After a couple of nasty emails sent & recieve a few replys i ended up with all my cinema tickets & a couple of complentry ones aswell..

they where processed as soon as i rared up!! Its bad on essos behalf, both times i sent them in nothing was processed till i rang up & rared up about it.

youngblood

Does anyone have an email address for this promotion that actually works?

Did the exact same thing to me, cba at this stage sending it back so i presume there plan is working.

okidoki987

before they go back in the post, back to Hertfordshire!!!

Why are you sending it to Hertfordshire?
I sent mine to Stillorgan/Sandyford Industrial Estate as per the back of the entry form.

Oh...didn't see that bit BUT I got a code for the other bits I sent and only sent in the 2 receipts as car wouldn't hold 60 euro worth of petrol at the time (bloody does now, filled up this evening :eek:)

That's where the letter came from, along with original receipts, wasn't posted here. I might just send it back and chance it, gesture of good will and all that. One receipt was for 55e, annoying thing is I binned the 3rd receipt, lesson learned.

Just lodged complaint about this promotion with the Advertising Standards Authority as they seem to have some remit with promotional activities in this country. Could be the wrong place to go but hope they may even have advice. I applied for five vouchers couple of months ago only got 2 and no reply to phone calls or emails. I feel a bit foolish as I went out of my way to find esso garages for fuel to get these cinema vouchers as a cinema trip for two adults and two children is so expensive nowadays. Anyway, will keep you posted.

Mr.David

I sent off for two and got both of them end of last week, think I was lucky. So don't give up hope yet!

ShaunC

Just got two emails today for (I presume) 1 cinema ticket each, I had sent away for 3 but only sent 6 receipts for €30 each. I thought I might get away with it, but you get NOTHING for NOTHING. I will bring the wife and the 2 kids to the cinema and probably spend €30-€40
At least my local esso is the cheapest for petrol.
Thanks again OP.

youngblood

Got first cinema ticket today-
A letter for 2nd ticket (got an email for the first one) to input code, but 3rd is still a astray!

Have tried that customer number for the last hour and nothing!!!

nobbe

Finally got my some of vouchers (miraculously - as nobody ever answered their help line), got 3 vouchers rather than the 5 I sent receipts in for, but still better than not getting any at all, or ....??

As if they hadn't p'd me off enough by now, this is what happened when I redeemed the vouchers..

As no cinemas near me were participating I chose Dublin, and then Vue at Liffey Valley- fine.
Next voucher - Dublin again, but hey Vue was off the list- tried again and still no Vue.
OK, then I'll choose Parnell street , fine.
I am sure you know what happens next... 3rd voucher... Dublin again and ... Both Vue and Parnell Street are not on the list...

Nice one Esso..... and goodbye

bazwaldo

^^^
If I recall correctly its a limitation of their web site. It shows random results and has no paging so if you search for Dublin, you get to see X number of cinemas. Search again and the list will be different. Just keep searching and you'll eventually get the cinema you got the first time.

Nothing yet either. Big oil screws us over again.

I cashed in a code about a month back and no sign of a cinema ticket as yet. Forgot all about it until I saw activity in this thread. For people who received cinema ticket, did it come direct from cinema? I will have to chase mine up

ShaunC

^^^ no the ticket comes from the company in the uk not the cinema.

paddy147

Double stinger then.:pac::pac:

popsmar

i sent in for 11 sets still no reply it is the 15may now ?
think it will be time to boycot esso soon

okidoki987

11 sets

That's a lot of petrol.

Just a point that might come in use one day, always take a picture of what you send off to the companies that do promotions like this.
At least then you have something that can be sent to them if you don't get what you ordered.
Not ideal but a possible solution.

popsmar

Its the main resion i have now changed to deisol i am getting a lot more milage

a lot better u can go into any tyre garage and get a "free" car check. I had a bulb gin in mine and they wanted 30 euro to fix it. fit it done in Halfirds for 6.50. all they are trying to do is get u into a garage they more than lightly give esso a kick back for the footfall.
