Those Daily Star / Play.com vouchers   
Entered 3 times for the 3 ppl in my house and all got 5 vouchers.

As I am the only one interested in play stuff, anyone know if I can put all 
three codes through my existing account (separate transactions of course) or 
will that fall foul of the "one voucher per person" rule?

cheers

Recieved one just hours ago and duly put to *good* use. Surprised me a bit. 
Wish I had another lol!

I only applied once this time for a voucher.

I just checked and got a 2 voucher, better than nothing I suppose! 
Especially since I dont read the Daily Star.  Only entered for it once.

Firstly it is clear that all Play does is look for unique e-mail address's 
in it's decision to issue vouchers to possible winners.

Secondly I think you'll be treading on dodgy ground to get all 3 vouchers 
validated using the same account. I don't know if it's card details they 
look at or destination details. Might be as simple as one sale one voucher 
since it's impossible to use more than one per transaction.

Fair point.  I guess it will not do any harm to use three separate accounts 
and three different cards.

Well I noticed they allocated them "first come first served" rather than a 
much fairer lottery system - thus I applied for all three just after 
midnight on one of the days.
