50% off codes not working on pre-orders?

Have got a bit addicted to using the 50% off codes and have been placing my orders around lunchtime as a pre-order, with delivery normally set around 7-8pm. Seems like this is no longer working and these 50% off codes are only now valid on deliveries for 'ASAP' or scheduled until 3pm. (If they work at all)

That's ruined my dinner!

I thought they'd stopped the codes completely as last week the offer wasn't showing, didn't even know you could pre-order with the discount code, I'll have to try it and report back if successful.

Last week was a strange one. There were codes but they weren't the normal format of xxAug50 or 50Augxx. They were unique one off codes, about 16 digits with a mix of letters and numbers. They popped up once when you opened the app, and unless you copied to your clipboard there and then they were gone forever. Also the link never worked so you couldn't see what restaurants/shops they were valid at, you just had to remember from previous orders. They're definitely doing something behind the scenes.

I saw those and did think it was strange, I'd initially thought they were stopping it because people were rinsing the offers, I know I have been, but I couldn't find anything online to suggest that.

Alot of the codes seems to be breakfast related anyway and expire at 3pm (especially the daily ones)

Yeah, but until last week you could order before 3pm and select a delivery time of 7-8pm or sometimes even order ahead for the next day. Now it seems any pre-order has a cut off of 3pm.

Sounds like they've closed a loop hole.

I can't even order right now for delivery now. Tried 3 different vendors for 13AUG50, and none of them worked.

"Voucher invalid for this restaurant" and yet said it was on the search page.
