Questions and answers

I have bought meals and have received vouchers in my mail box?? What do I do with these? How does this work with itison? Do I need to hand them in anywhere? Confused.

Hi Dorothy,

Thank you so much for your donation!

I'm happy to let you know don't need to do anything else with these vouchers - your donation goes straight to Social Bite.

Thanks again for your generosity!

When I try to buy this it gives me the sign in section etc, but when I click that I’m not a robot I just get the spinning wheel of doom and then eventually get kicked out. This has happened a few times now. Any ideas?

Hi there,

Thank you so much for your generosity here!

Can I ask if you're able to try making your donation again using a different device or, failing that, a different browser on your current device? This should hopefully do the trick but if you continue to have trouble, just let us know at support@itison.com directly and we'll be happy to lend a hand!

Hi, I tried to send as a gift voucher to someone but must have missed it somehow. Can you advise?
Thanks
Morag Mackinnon

Hi Morag,

Thanks for getting in touch.

Not to worry - you can still gift it from your account on our website. To view your order, just head to itison.com/my/complete_orders/. Select Give this Voucher as a Gift, and you’ll be asked to enter your name, your recipient’s name, and a gift message.

If you want to print the voucher to give as a gift, select Save Gift and then Print Voucher. Your message should show at the top of the voucher, and you can select Print to go ahead.

If you’d rather email the voucher to your recipient, just enter their email address before selecting Save Gift. It’ll be sent to them right away.

I hope this helps!

Good afternoon, I work within Greater Manchester Police Crime Recording Unit and we have £200 raised and would like to donate it for Christmas meals for homeless within Manchester. Could you advise me the best way to donate the full amount all together please. Regards Bev

Hi Bev,

Thanks for getting in touch and for your generosity!

I'm happy to confirm you'll be able to buy 40 vouchers for our Social Bite campaign, and this will account for your £200 money raised.

I hope this helps and do take care!

Hi not sure if my 2 vouchers went through. One was for dinner for a homeless person.(£5) The other was for a Xmas gift for a family (5).

The prompt said it would take me to my bank for clarification but it didn't. Thanks Patricia Meldrum

14:57, 17/12/20

Hi Patricia,

Thanks for getting in touch!

I'm happy to confirm that both of your £5 donations - one for Christmas dinner and one for a gift - did complete successfully.

Hi there
Have tried to purchase vouchers but when I complete the form it’s saying missing information. Only thing I can’t add is issue number as my card doesn’t have one. I have been doing this for years and is always straight forward.
Looking for help please

Annette, 17:27, 22/12/20

Hi Annette,

Thanks for getting in touch – I’m really sorry you’re having trouble placing your order.

I’d suggest checking in case:

a letter or number is missing from your postcode.
a digit is missing from your card number.
the CV2 number is missing (the last three digits on the back of your card).

You’re welcome to try again by visiting https://www.itison.com/Aberdeen/products/deals/christmas-dinner-for-a-homeless-person/messages

You’ll know straight away if the transaction goes through as you’ll see a page confirming your order has been successful. If you don’t, I’d suggest trying again on another computer or device.

I hope this helps!

Hi there,

I’m afraid we don’t accept PayPal but we do accept most UK payment cards.

I hope this answers your question.

I think that I selected the the gift voucher option as opposed to the buy now. Just checking that I do not need to do anything more and that gifts will be forwarded by itison to the charity. thanks Alison

Hi, will you be running this again this year? It is a great think to do and i always buy 1 for each if my staff.

08:14, 12/11/21

Hi there,

Thanks for getting in touch!

We often work with Social Bite, and will likely feature another campaign later this year to help feed homeless people during Christmas.

I'm afraid this year's promotion isn't up yet, but if I can lend a hand with anything else just let me know!
