If you’re unfamiliar with Wowcher, Trustpilot offers a reassuring snapshot of the brand which has 4.4 out of 5 stars averaged from over 112,000 customer reviews. “Fab deals, super fast payment systems and bargains that really are unbelievable,” said a five-star review. “For years I’ve thought this was a bit of a scam-type site, so I ignored it. But it is fabulous!”
“The experience with Wowcher is always fab,” said another five-star write-up. “The app is so easy to use, the deals are fab, the discounts are truly amazing, and I’ve never had a problem from ordering through to delivery.”
Another lauded the customer service team’s effectiveness: “Requested a refund for an item I’d duplicated. The response was immediate. Courteous, helpful and such a good response. I was dubious, as with other companies they make it very difficult. So pleased that I will definitely use Wowcher again.”
If you’re making multiple purchases, however, it’s worth noting that you may be charged service or postage fees specific to each vendor. “The other thing is, when you buy a few items, you have to pay postage for each individual item which then ends up costing a fortune,” said one customer.
Wowcher is one of a host of travel sites trying to tempt consumers to book a trip to look forward to while trying to stave off the January blues. TUI is offering discounts of up to £400 on summer holidays for 2025 with a host of school holiday perks thrown in, while other travel firms keen to get us jetting to sunnier climes like Secret Escapes, Booking.com and On the Beach are also joining in the fun. You don’t even have to bust out your passport, with UK-based brands like the ever-popular seaside resorts Haven slashing prices on a range of deals and Travelodge offering more than a million rooms for £35 or less in early 2025.
Wowcher is offering the best of both worlds for travellers, with both UK based and international options in their travel sale, which is live now.
