I got 3 different codes using 3 different email ids. Is that the only way people are getting more than 1 book? I am asking as I want to buy more but don't want to go on creating new email accounts (will surely do it if that's my only last resort).

Limit 1 voucher code per customer. so I would assume that's the only way.
+4 votesI understand that if you have gmail, you will receive any emails with "+" after the user name.
EG, username is JoeBlow. Joe will get any emails address to "JoeBlow+poptarts@gmail", "JoeBlow+donkeys@gmail", "JoeBlow+wankelrotaryengine@gmail". This used to be the case anyway.

or you can probably just throw a few .s in there too. Joe.Blow, J.oeblow, Jo.eblow etc. They'll probably think they're different addresses, but google doesn't
are you suggesting JoeBlow.sDonkeys@gmail.com as a suitable address ? that could raise a few eyebrows at the store…
brucefromaustralia on 08/11/2012 - 19:05 ¶The email address you give is only important to access the account. You don't need to receive the email for the voucher code. You have that as the invoice number of the PayPal receipt!
- brucefromaustralia on 09/11/2012 - 11:37 ¶
So you can make up any email address… & get the voucher code

Thanks for the brilliant tips of adding . OR + to the gmail id. It works and I ordered more books without creating new email accounts. Really happy being an ozbargainer.
+3 votesI bought some last time for $5 each and was happy with the finished product. They were ready for pick up from my local Big W in only a few days…
The main issue is the pathetic Fuji Film uploading software - a real dogs breakfast teleported from a 1996 'Publish on the world wide web' Uni class.

Bugger! Was in a hurry to get this deal & missed the first letter of my email address when I cut & pasted. So didn't get voucher email! Realised the mistake when I couldn't log in, so pasted the wrong address to access my account.
Changed account to correct address… All this excitement for $1!then realised voucher code is also in the Paypal receipt "Invoice ID: BIGW…."

A good question. Don't think vouchers would be tied to account.
andyman1908 on 09/11/2012 - 13:23 ¶Im pretty sure they arent tied to an account but wont let you use more than one voucher per account. Well thats what happened to me last time.
+1 votehow do you use the voucher?
Do you just go ahead and create the photo album choosing 6x8 soft cover personalised option, design the book and then use the code at check out?
I'd hate to go to all the trouble of designing an album and then find out I've done it the wrong way and need to redo the album again.
Can you help? I used one of my vouchers this morning and I now get a message as I am trying to put another album through. The promotion says that the voucher can be used for the next month?
"The entered promotion cannot be applied, due to an incorrect code entry, and expired promotion or the conditions of your purchased/and or promotion conditions have not been satisfied"
The code is correct.
What am I doing wrong? Help!
Yeah, but I have 4 vouchers (the codes) that I purchased yesterday. So, I am trying to put another photo book through. The promotion hasn't expired - we have until December to use the vouchers. Do you think they (Big W) have 'fixed it' so that people can only really buy and use one?
Has anyone else put through more than one photobook - without any problems?

Last time I bought two (obviously using two different email addresses). I was unable to create the photobook using the one login twice.they will only accept one voucher per account so u need to create one photobook on each account. Hopefully that makes sense :)
Pumpkin_rrr on 09/12/2012 - 21:51 ¶Just wondering if anyone has any luck loading their photos?
I had been trying all night and the upload stops at either 16% or 30%.
I am exhausted now and just going to give up.
Deadline is tomorrow….- +1 votePumpkin_rrr on 10/12/2012 - 15:41 ¶
I had emailed twice. They replied this morning and asked me to checked my computer, and tried to blame it to time-out etc etc . I gave them a comprehensive report of what happened, and the fact that I had done several different photo books in the past. To give them their credit, they actually rang me on my mobile but it was not of much help. The worst part is they denied there was anything wrong with their website, apart from a 2-hour glitch last week. She even said she managed to upload ONE photo to my album! She also said that their website is working fine because nobody else has complained. Perhaps you should ring them at 1300 614 359. I wonder whether all the vouchers expire today. The best part: was told the due date cannot be extended.
Looks like Snapfish or others for me from now on. 
FYI, I've had trouble uploading tonight as well… doesn't get more than about 5-7% no matter which version of the uploader I use and no matter whether I use Chrome or Internet Explorer - my better half had more luck with Firefox earlier today (she is trying to upload mine now).
- Pumpkin_rrr on 10/12/2012 - 21:40 ¶
One of the "tips" I've got is to clear your cached and all that.
I had been using Firefox and the problem happened since the first minute I use it.
Anyhow, giving them the benefit of doubt, I tried again tonight, and miraculously the upload was so much smoother.
Well, you have until midnight now….Hmmm… didn't seem to make a difference… ah well… should have expected it, I've had issues at other times with the Big W website not loading… snapfish is the way to go for me (just frustrating to have wasted so much time trying to get it to all work and preparing content etc).
Was running like a dog for me too.. tried both Chrome and Firefox. I had to upload only 1 or 2 images at a time… and often that would fail and have to try again. Somehow, I made it with about 3-4 mins to go.
I'm yet to see final product.. but I wouldn't have been very frustrated if I'd paid $10 for this.
I'd definitely be complaining to them about it.

FYI, just spoke to BigW online photos on 1300 614 359 and if you had issues with their site last night (my photos just wouldn't upload) just give them a call and let them know - they'll log the fact that you had an issue uploading your photos and give you a reference number. They then recommend trying to get your photos uploaded ASAP (I was able to upload one this morning) and finalise your book and go to the checkout and try your existing code (it may work, someone mentioned that in the checkout the expiry date on the voucher showed as 12/12/12 not 10/12/12) - if the code doesn't work they said call them back and they'll create a new code - they'll need to pass you on to someone else which could take a few hours (they acknowledged the re-issue process is a bit convoluted but at least they are trying to help). Hope this helps someone.
lil miss sunshine on 11/12/2012 - 11:38 ¶After trying most of last night, I managed to upload only 3 photos using IE (I tried with Chrome too). It was constantly "waiting for server response" and eventually comes up with an error/fail. Not happy. Good thing it was only $1.
Roberto - Thanks for sharing. Have you managed to upload any more photos today (other than the one you did this morning)?
Am interested to see if their site is working any better today, if not, I will probably not bother contacting them.- lil miss sunshine on 11/12/2012 - 12:42 ¶
Ok I called Big W Photos just then, the girl I spoke to said they had issues with the site last night but it has been fixed today. She also said all voucher codes have been extended to expire tomorrow.
Will try uploading the photos again tonight when I get home from work. fingers crossed

Hi lil miss sunshine, I uploaded all my photos at lunch time today with no problems at all. I suspect their servers were just groaning under the weight of all the last minute photo books last night. Disappointing that some support people denied an issue yesterday but they are quite friendly about it today and acknowledge there was an issue (still a painful 4 hours I spent last night trying to get them uploaded!).
- lil miss sunshine on 11/12/2012 - 17:45 ¶
Thanks for the update Roberto! I just started uploading a few photos now and it seems to be working much better.
Yeah some people are not willing to admit they have an issue until possibly they get flooded with complaints (probably half the ozbargain community!)
I too wasted a few hours trying to upload the photos last night. It was really frustrating.
lilmisswendy on 11/12/2012 - 12:11 ¶I called them this morning and they extended my coupon to tomorrow midnight. Will try again tonight and see if I can upload them.
- Pumpkin_rrr on 11/12/2012 - 12:43 ¶
Oh how lucky you guys are.
I rang yesterday morning and they denied any problem, and refused to extend my expiry because there were no other complaints.
Punishment for me to be the first one to complain?? - brucefromaustralia on 11/12/2012 - 21:05 ¶
I guessed there may be a lot of OzBargain late uploaders, so uploaded a few hundred photos on Friday. Sunday had trouble with layout (would not save project) - assumed a lot were online at same time. Had no problems with layout last night - except frustrating program, despite a slow internet connection & even slower (ancient) PC. Just got it finished in time. Good they gave extensions!
