£40 Cashback… terms and conditions apply
Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Yesterday I purchased a printer.  It came with a special promotion: £40 off, I was told to visit the PC World website and click on ‘cashback’.

So once I was home and the printer was set up, I asked my son to apply for the cashback.  He went on the website, but couldn’t find the link.  He googled it, but couldn’t find the link.  I gave him the receipt which had the store number, and told him to call it.

He got through to automated messages, ‘if your call is about a cash back promotion, press 4’… and so on, until the final message was ‘please visit the following website: www…….’.  He put the phone down and I observed quietly, thinking ‘welcome to my life, Shuayb.’

He couldn’t find the link on that website, so I told him to call back and actually speak to someone.  So he did.  Press 2,  press 4… finally he spoke to a human being, who said, sorry, you’re speaking to the wrong department, would you like me to redirect your call?… and so it continued.   Sorry you need to speak to HP… sorry you need to speak to PC World….  ‘hang on we already spoke to PC World, they told me to speak to you‘….  the best one:  Sorry, we only have a promotion for £30 cashback or £50, not £40.  Finally, the last person he spoke to said ‘I’m sorry you have to wait 28 days after the day of purchase and then phone back.’  Great.

Son: Can I have your direct number please?

Man on the other end: It’s the number you dialled.

Son: Err… I didn’t dial you directly, it took us 10 redirects to get to you.

So about an hour later, we got the number to dial, and made a note to call on the 5th September for the amazing £40 cashback.

Doesn’t seem amazing anymore.  Was it worth it?

£40 cashback…..  terms and conditions apply.

It really made me think of all the times we have to go through unnecessary stress to get what we need and once we finally get it, one really wonders if it was worth it. Like asking others to clear the magic coffee table, or put the shoes away in the lobby.

Just do it yourself or leave it there.

Nearly on the verge of divorce

Attending this two-day workshop was a memorable experience.

It helped my marriage at a time when it was nearly on the verge of a divorce.

Alhamdulillah, this is 6 years of a peaceful marriage – been married 18 years now.

Sara has helped me in so many ways!

By allowing me to feel more empowered, by showing me how to action boundaries,

by helping me to find my self-esteem,

by explaining how other people may be feeling and how to understand this,

by enabling me to do self-care things which are helpful to me.

Sara empowered me to set boundaries, and stand up for myself.

She reminded me about my intentions and goals, and in general to have a much happier marriage and life.

Universal Principles

Principles that you can apply to any aspect of your life and relationships not just in marriage!

I began seeing the man I married that very evening.

I came to the session thinking it cant help my marriage that drastically but the effects were instantaneous!

I now have the tools to continue making improvements within my marriage, most importantly changes within myself.

Sara’s words penetrate deep

I’ve come such a long way since my work with you

I was in such a mess with that relationship. I worked through my worthiness, self-love, finding myself and building my relationship with Allah. You introduced me to a whole new world
