£100 Sainsbury's Gift Card Offer on ALL BT packages

I read it as on all BT packages.

In reply to a post by MrSaffron:

and Evening & Weekend Calls

incl. "Add Unlimited Anytime Calls?"

Bound to be some combination where it does not work so throwing a bit of doubt into the mix, and a complete product matrix would be a very long by the time you do all calls/broadband/line rental options

Well it's all over this advertised page Broadband packages with all combinations of call plans and rental.

Also the claim conditions are given here:

In reference to www.vouchers.bt.com/offer/sainsbury/:

Claim your Sainsbury’s Gift Card

Terms & Conditions

This offer has run on the following occasions:

8.Offer start date 15.03.2013 until 25.03.2013 to be eligible for a £100 Sainsbury’s Gift Card when ordering a broadband (incl. BT Infinity) or TV package

These offers are only available to new to BT Broadband customers ordering on www.bt.com .

I know it is - the idea being people see some information and follow the links.

Note to self do not bother again unless willing to spend all day writing a web page to show all the permutations.

these gift cards cant be used online so still have my £50 worth here, why dont they just give £50 cash instead of paying sainsburies for these cards?

What I want to know is.

do these cards need to be registered before can be used?
if i register them, can someone else use them afterwards? or has to be me?

I was looking at the T&Cs for your Qs when Kate the Chat popped up. Simplest that I just copy her answers:

Me: Do Sainsburys Gift cards need to be registered before can be used?

Kate: No

Me: Can someone else use them ? or has to be me?

Kate: Any one can use as long as you have given permission

Regarding the latter I can't how see it could be otherwise as shoppers don't need to provide ID.

From memory, the gift card was originally £50 so does this sound like BT are desperate for new customers and the new unlimited deal of half price for a year isn't getting enough new customers?
Perhaps it's the current battle with Sky as to who is offering the best deal?
I am thinking of moving to BT - just a bit nervous about leaving a very good service with Newnet.

Take a look at Plusnet. My path:- BT >> Prodigynet >> Newnet >> O2 >> IDNet FTTC >> Plusnet FTTC.

Yes I have been looking at Plusnet and know 2 happy customers. I'm in Market 1 and no hope of fibre so PlusNet = £16.99 per month against BT = £16. With BT I get half price for year so that's £96 + £100 Sainsbury voucher.
Newnet are £17.36 per month for 10 GB - but it's been a reliable 3Meg speed for over 6 years - difficult decision!

You are looking at the Unlimited prices from PN and BT. Their 10GB products are considerably cheaper.

However, I agree with you that in your case BT looks a better bet than Plusnet, especially on the 10GB ones.

Who is your phone line with? BT require it to be with them.
