Chris, the sale guys won't have the necessary 'override' to reapply the codes.
Ask for their supervisor

What they did was to completely lose the plot and cancel the order outright. That's what I'm calling incompetent, and it is.

This depends on the reason that the CC company has given for declining. If they indicate a fraud rather than an onhold authorisation it is purely the good will of the vendor to allow you to continue.

An Aside...
From what I hear via more direct routes, there is a problem coping with the sheer volume of processing. Not something that should be used as an excuse by maybe remember that when on the phone?

Has anyone managed to get the supervisor's name who said they'll reapply the discount?

Everyone I know whom have been asked to call back all used 2 codes or more.

I had just the one discount code (and no cashback arrangements) and I had that email. It's not true.

Same story for me as everyone else:
  • Ordered early Oct
  • Contacted on 28th Oct by Nokia to "authorise" order, cancelling the original one and creating a new order with a manual 15% discount applied
  • Order cancelled yesterday when the CC transaction was queried

When calling Nokia UK, has anybody spoken to anyone other than Chris? Surely he can't be the only person answering the calls!

I talked to the supervisor David - no discounts available

I've just re-ordered with the discount.

Yeh I spoke to David last night too...got told that no discount codes were available to apply onto the new order. But he said he would take it further and call me back today. He told me that others who had called with the same scenario had been told the same thing. But he said he would call me if things change, which I very much doubt.
