So you think applying a voucher to an already existing account will work if the mobile number is changed?

LOL. Sorry, should have been more specific. No, not for existing accounts.

So you need a new number as well as a new account each time.
New email as well methinks.

Well you have to use a new email address each time. But personally I have a preference for inserting "." and "+" into my existing gmail account rather than having to create all new email addresses. Don't think the system picks up on email addresses in this way because it looks like new emails rather than slightly modified ones. But the cell phone number is probably a dead give away.


Any how, I did try creating new accounts after being flagged. Both using my existing email address with random "." and "+" inserted. But for the phone numbers I used a work landline and a my own cell number with an extra zero in the beginning (0083 instead of 083). Both worked and the orders were delivered. On all my orders (on new accounts) I've used myself as the recipient with my own details. Never been flagged for that. Guess Takealot just assumes i'm the receptionist at work :crylaugh:

I think you misunderstood him. He got flagged for voucher abuse by noticing the cell# is the same as other accounts. You will still need a new account to use vouchers.

Considering a sim card cost R1 or less, getting more numbers should be a non-issue if you are serious about using your vouchers!

Pay R1 and save over R150 seems like a fair deal to me :D
 
so called in to get a refund and the guys says so nicely that there was an abuse of the coupon

so i just said please refund my cc

he wants to still call me back when its processed.

i think i added my MIL cell number as she collects the parcels for me

Premicells, data sims - they all have unique numbers. If you gonna test the system, think outside the box okes....
 
AstralGuide said:
Thanks. Now its all very clear!

One last thing, you used the same name/address on your new account(s) but would probably be safer using family member or friends name (with their consent of course) just to avoid any catch :)

Again, should have specified. I only used my own details for the person that would be receiving the order. For the actual accounts I was using family members names. Some with consent, some live overseas and therefore would never use Takealot. :whistle:

"Winterlove" still not working for new account just created.

Tried with random items and with the ones from here (Seperately) "https://www.takealot.com/promotion/makewintergreatagain". Neither works.

You gave me an idea...

There is a certain prepaid VOIP provider. Easy to sign up for new number in ZA. Free. And you can install Zoiper on your phone to receive calls if need be. As long as takealot dont block their whole number range...

Why even give a legit number, all I've ever got via cell phone from Takealot is delivery today sms, but you can check if your order is out for delivery via the website.

It is only handy should the delivery guy have a problem finding your address. Sometimes a problem for people living in complexes
 
Takealot should rather do some amazing Daily Deals like Loot does. It's a more better system than the lottery of vouchers.
