Bought a 3 year autocad licence from software distribution. Worked for a few months then got blocked. Tried to contact support with no success... Very poor service.

Licenses were purchased through wowcher but fulfilled by Software distribution. The automatic process didn't work but their support processed the order by hand in under 3 days. Even thought SD are bas... See more

Purchased an Adobe licence through wowcher. Worked for a few months, but then was blocked by Adobe and kicked off their software saying the licence is not a genuine product. Wowcher don't care and told me to contact this useless company who do not respond. AVOID AVOID AVOID Clearly a scam company!

Wowcher Microsoft Office

Brought a 12 months subscription Microsoft Office from Wowcher. It worked great for a few months now I can’t access my Microsoft account & it’s saying it’s expired. Contacted Wowcher they said to contact the company in question. Contacted them and got nothing back.

Bought Microsoft Office voucher off Wowcher in February this year. This month the licence has been cancelled by Microsoft and I have lost all access to data stored in One Drive. Contacted Wowcher for a refund as clearly a fraudulent transaction, promoted by them and supplied by a merchant in Belgium, and they refused a refund. Will never buy off Wowcher again. Hope Microsoft investigate further and close down Wowcher as the licences are clearly not legal.

SCAM

On January 31, I reached out to the company regarding an issue with my voucher for an Office license. They responded on February 2, indicating that they had manually redeemed my voucher. However, this was the last I heard from them despite repeated attempts to follow up.

I am particularly disappointed that a platform like Wowcher, which I trusted, is associating with companies that do not maintain consistent communication or deliver on their promises. It's concerning to find myself among several others who have faced similar issues.

People, Stay away! It is a scam!

SCAM

SCAM.
I bought a Microsoft 365 Family subscription through Wowcher and was informed to email info @ software-distribution.com. It was confirmed that following the email, within 24 hours, I would receive the license code for the subscription. I emailed on 7th February 2024, and have been chasing ever since to no avail. The complaints team at Wowcher have even chased and also heard nothing. Absolutely abysmal service.

Scam

Like many others, I also ended up here via Wowcher. It seems to be one guy running a business out of his bedroom and not remotely prepared for scale.
Purchased a MS 365 family subscription, ended up something completely unusable. Has completely stopped responding to emails / WhatsApp.
He seems to dupe people who are not tech friendly, but gets caught out by customers who know what they are doing.
Have chased Wowcher for a refund, lets see what they do.

Waste of time, taken money, but not the product

Bought Microsoft Office 365 Personal voucher, through Wowcher. Have redeemed, but still not received the license. Wowcher really difficult to contact (WhatsApp customer 'care' not responding). Have wasted a lot of time being ignored, still don't have the product and the email on the voucher, doesn't work. Feels like a huge scam.

DO NOT BUY

Bought “Microsoft Office 365”. Told to expect an email with code in 24 hours, then 48 hours. Finally 5 days later get a WhatsApp voice message from this guy telling me he’d been in hospital. Eventually got an email with a product - photoshopped Microsoft logo and instructions to open a new Microsoft account, not the download code I was expecting. After numerous WhatsApp messages- me writing, him leaving voice messages- he said he would refund. A week later still waiting for him & Wowcher to refund me

Update:
Pleased to say that this has now been resolved and Wowcher are processing a refund for me

No license received, no communications

Via Wowcher offer using this company, I still not received a software code as purchased. Company has failed to provide one within 24 working hours as per voucher details as I've not received it directly via their redemption page and to my email inbox. Company has not responded to complaint from wowcher or myself.

Refund finally received from Wowcher 12 days later, extremely painful process. The seller provided excuses they had sent it, but never proved they did when challenged.

Exercise your consumer protection rights, and cancel within 14 days with Wowcher.
