Hi. Can I use Pay Pal please

Hilary, 19:20, 11/12/18

Hi Hilary,

Thanks for getting in touch!

Some customers may see the option to pay with PayPal (we're currently running a trial) at the checkout, but if this option doesn't appear I'm afraid you'd need to donate using a credit or debit card instead.

I hope this answers your question!

Bought these last year and there was an option to gift them to someone else. Have bought a couple this year and just had to forward the voucher which doesn’t have the same impact

I have just purchased both of these vouchers and I believe they go directly to the charity. I was wondering then why I have also received these vouchers.

Jeanne, 12:39, 14/12/18

Hi there,

Thanks for getting in touch!

I'm happy to let you know don't need to do anything else - your donation will go straight to the charity.

We simply issue vouchers as confirmation of the donation and in case you made the donation as a stocking filler for someone else. We know a lot of customers do this, and they like to print the voucher out to pop in a card.

I hope this helps!

Hi,
Not a question but i just wanted to commend you guys for coming up with this fantastic idea of giving a homeless person a meal at xmas. At the time if my purchase there has been 62,500 deals bought with 9 days to go. Let's hope you break the 100,000. I will be getting all my friends to share on Facebook etc.

Well done again.

Brian.

I have purchased some social bite vouchers and they are on my voucher screen with option to print off etc. Do I have to do anything else? I know it says not on your website, but it is confusing and I don’t want my donation to go astray.
Sorry if I’m missing the point.
