Was just about to ask the same thing. None of our accounts show a voucher.

The T&Cs said that it would be delivered as loyalty points however I don't have any of those either

Edit: I checked their FB wall and found, 10 hours ago,

. . . the points will appear within 14 working days of the giveaway ending - this means they should appear next week. Thanks

My RSH voucher is now in my account!

 

[bb21]

Me too, and I seem to have been credited with two vouchers. They must love me as this is the second time this has happened.

Yep

By the way, is it just me, or does everyone else have to navigate through a total of 4 different browser windows to get from the home page to the e-Voucher screen?

No it's not just you. It's one thing that annoys me about the RSH website: the way it opens up a new tab for everything you do. :roll:

I have also been credited with two, the first one was the giveaway, and the 2nd is all the 10ps added together I think.

25 REASONS TO TRAVEL FIRST CLASS FOR LESS

100,000 Bargain First Class fares go on sale

Train operator East Coast has re-launched its successful 25 Reasons campaign to offer its customers bargain low-cost First Class fares for just £25.
Following its success last year, the campaign starts on Wednesday 14 March until Monday 19 March, when customers can book one of 100,000 First Class one-way fares to any destination across the East Coast route.

For example, customers travelling the 393.5 miles between Edinburgh and London can travel in comfort and style for just over 15 pence per mile.

By visiting the dedicated web-page www.eastcoast.co.uk/25reasons, East Coast customers can take advantage of the fantastic deal and book tickets for travel between 10 April and 31 May inclusive, excluding 4-7 May.

The 25 Reasons marketing campaign, has been shortlisted in the Travel Marketing Awards, which takes place on 22nd March, for the Best Email Campaign. The campaign highlights the many great reasons to travel First Class, such as the complimentary food and drink service, free Wi-Fi, a dedicated quiet coach and a more spacious and relaxing environment.

East Coast Commercial and Customer Service Director Peter Williams said: “Thanks to this fantastic value for money £25 one-way fare this is a great opportunity for our customers to sample the delights of First Class travel for less.

“Due to the improvements made to our First Class offer in May last year, we have seen a significant increase in First Class passenger journeys, which rose by 21% between the end of May 2011 and 4 February 2012, compared with the same period in 2010/11 – representing an additional 253,000 passenger journeys in First Class.

“So, with our First Class one-way fare promotion, there has never been a better time for our customers to sample some of these improvements, such as our delicious

complimentary food and drink service, free Wi-Fi throughout the journey and a dedicated quiet coach - and all for just £25.”

The £25 one-way fare is available from www.eastcoast.co.uk/25reasons, where our customers can also find out information on train times, fares and other promotions. In addition, customers can now follow East Coast on the official Twitter account @eastcoastuk.

I've only just booked KGX to YRK and back in May! :cry:

I only paid £26.10 each each way though, so I didn't pay much more than this offer.

Does your journey originate from a station with no TOD?

Just a reminder that the discount is applicable on any LM-priced flow, even if you do not use LM for your travels at all.

Does that mean i could buy a Virgin ticket on LM website and still get it half price or is it just for LM trains?

Because from what i can see on the T&C its just for LM services.

Last year they ran this it was, as bb21 says, all flows priced by them - including many Any Permitted tickets.

Perhaps it would be beneficial for us to compile a list of LM-priced flows so that people who would otherwise make a similar journey but priced by a different operator can make a saving.
