Hello,
We are trying to redeem our Q rewards points on gift vouchers but you still have our old mailing address listed. We tried to change this with you verbally last time and were told it had been done, yet our previous vouchers were mailed to the old address.
We have tried adding a new address on the checkout screen but after 2 full days it has still not updated to the new one. Can we email someone and have it changed your end? How do we do this? We cannot redeem our current points obviously until this has been amended, it is highly frustrating.
Can someone please help us to update this? Thank you, regards, John
