I'm confused. 
Looking at prices from London to High Brooms using that Southeastern offer combined with a railcard, the CDR gets a discount of ~43% off the normal price, whilst the SVR gets ~51% off. Mathematically, the two discounts should combine to provide 50% off precisely. The 51% is close enough (it'll just be down to rounding), but why does the CDR get a noticeably smaller discount?

I think you've made a mathematical error or are using an old CDR fare.
CDR is usually £11.10 with railcard. Southeastern are offering it for £8.20. The difference is £2.90. 2.90/11.10*100= 26.1% reduction. As Southeastern are advertising 25% off I think the CDR discount given is in line with what they are advertising.

Someone is spouting bull I can assure you. The sale of the ticket is subject to the NRCoC and Condition 10 makes it abundantly clear that your ticket must be accepted by other TOCs over permitted routes, assuming that it is routed Any Permitted.
Hmm. Using Southeastern's site, searching for tickets from London to High Brooms for any time this Saturday, it gives me a Network-railcard-inclusive CDR price of £9.60. But then I try again with a 1625 railcard, and it offers it for £8.20. :?
There appears to be an error on WebTIS, as if you look on the Southern Railway website (which has no discount on Southeastern tickets) they sell a Web Off Peak Day Return with Network Rc'd for £13, and 26% off this would make it £9.60. It appears they have chosen the wrong ticket to discount.
Excellent sleuthing, I'll see if I can raise that with Southeastern to be fixed.
I was also disappointed, though not entirely surprised, to note that it appears the offer is valid only on journeys wholly using Southeastern, rather than on any journey priced by them I had initially hoped to get a discounted ticket (still priced by LSE) from my local GA station in London, but it's not possible.

It seems to be journeys that start and finish at a SE station. The tickets are valid on any TOC (if there is an option), eg they will sell discounted tickets for Ashford - Battle via Hastings.
There seems to be another Red Spotted Hanky free cash with newspaper offer on today.

That'd be 20% off all reward purchases...

Anyone actually got this to work this time? I entered the code from the paper on Sunday. So far... nothing.

Yes! £10 added to my RSH account this morning
Not for me. It did say to allow 72 hours though. Has anyone who signed up after it was posted on here got the voucher? I posted it at practically the same time as tony_mac but as I added another post later on the time given is for my post is for the second post that got merged in to the first using the double post prevention system.
Also relating to RSH a set of tickets I received yesterday from them included a 'ticket' with nothing on it except the words 'VOID VOID VOID' across the middle. That was unusual!
Are you sure it wasn't just in the tray? I've found TVMs with a whole load of VOIDED, ickets spewed out on the floor in front of them before, early in the morning.
They were sent to me by post and the order of 'tickets' was outbound journey ticket, outbound seat reservation, return journey ticket, void ticket, return seat reservation.
After experiencing a very unresponsive touch screen on the TVM at Knutsford last time I picked up tickets from there and it was cold I selected the post tickets to me option this time.
Just booked a couple of FC Lounge passes for May. Good job I hadn't done it until now.
So another RSH con then? More of a farce than the bungled voucher-hack thing we had last time because this time I've actually wasted 2 quid on a paper!
How is it a "con"?
'Purchase £2 paper and receive £10 voucher within 72 hours'
It has now been more than 72 hours and there is no £10 voucher.

Probably because most people didn't bother to buy the paper.

It also says there is a limited number of vouchers.

Don't know how they allocate them, from what I read thought it was first come first served. I added my code at 09:05 and haven't got my tenner. Yet, once again, my mate who added theirs at 10:15 has got their voucher.
(And yes, I did get it out of a real paper for once!)
