Switch was handled very efficiently, with good communication throughout. I also received a gift card, which was equivalent to three months’ subscription, which was a great bonus!

Hi Sara,
Thank you for reaching out.
I'm afraid as we are a broadband comparison site and not a broadband provider, we have no control over speeds or postcode eligibility. That being said, if you enter your postcode into our site before you start browsing, it will only show you the broadband(s) available at your address.
I hope this helps.
Please could you send me an email at rewards@genieventures.co.uk so I can assist you further?
Best,
Charlotte
I wanted to renew my contract
I wanted to renew my contract. Emailed them. No reply. Phoned them no answer. Sales answer straight away. No such luck with “customer loyalty”!

Hi Philip,
Thank you for reaching out.
I'm afraid you may have mixed us up with your broadband provider. As a comparison site, Broadband Genie are not able to renew customer contracts, nor do we have a sales department. I can't spot that we've had any emails or calls from you before either.
I'd be absolutely happy to point you in the right direction. I have requested some of your contact information. Alternatively you can send me an email on rewards@genieventures.co.uk.
Best,
Charlotte
Excellent customer service
I forgot to claim my reward within the set time but after explaining how silly I had been to the nice people at Trustpilot they reviewed the situation and honoured their commitment. Amazing customer service thank you Trustpilot and thank you Broad band Genie.

*EDIT: Good news! We managed to send you out another voucher Matthew. Enjoy!
Hi Matthew,
Firstly, I'm sorry to hear your experience hasn't been more positive.
I've just had a look and your voucher was sent out to you in March. This was just under 3 months after your date of purchase. This is the average amount of time it takes for all sales to be fully validated and for the vouchers to be sent out. This is also clearly stated in our T&Cs that are emailed out to you on your date of purchase.
It looks as though your voucher code has now expired. I will hopefully be able to send you another one from our own pocket at the end of the month.
I hope this helps. I will also send you an email to outline all of this.
Best,
Charlotte
Rectified complaint and amended review to reflect

Hi There,
Sorry to hear you're having issues with your voucher.
With Amazon codes, it can be a bit finicky. Please try to type the code out (without the hyphens) and don't copy and paste.
I'll be in touch with you by email to make sure we get this sorted.
Best,
Rachel

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your review.
We know it can take some time to get your voucher, this is because we're reliant on the provider to confirm the sale to us first.
This is why we state it can take an average of 120 days and we created the voucher tracker so you can keep updated.
Glad to hear you've got your voucher now, enjoy!
Best,
Rachel
