How We Work

Wowcher and Living Social make the luxurious things in life more affordable.

You can purchase a voucher on Wowcher and Living Social that will save you money on a product or service when redeemed with a designated merchant featured on our website. We feature the best deals on the most coveted restaurants, concerts, events, lessons, tours, spas, salons and much more in your city each day with prices that are hard to beat!

5pm is a Scotland focused daily deals platform (operated by Wowcher Limited). It enables users to purchase vouchers that offer savings on products and services when redeemed with participating merchants. Each day, 5pm showcases money saving deals on top-rated restaurants, concerts, events, lessons, tours, spas, salons, hotels and more in your area and beyond.

Simply click "BUY" before the deal ends!
We will then e-mail you a voucher code that you can use for the deal purchased (check the “valid from” and “valid until” dates). You will then need to redeem your voucher for the deal by following the instructions on the voucher.

After your purchase, we'll send you a receipt. You'll then be sent an email containing your voucher which includes your unique code and instructions on how to redeem this code. In most cases you'll be sent the code straight away, but for some offers you'll be sent the voucher code when the deal closes.
Your voucher is multipurpose. Prior to the expiry date of the voucher, you can choose to redeem your voucher for either; 

(a) The deal that is listed on Wowcher or Livingsocal (please be advised you can only exchange the voucher on site it was orginally purchased from);
(b) In the Wowcher Shop at www.wowchershop.co.uk ; https://www.livingsocial.co.uk/deals/shop ; https://www.wowcher.ie/deals/shop ; https://www.livingsocial.ie/deals/shop ; https://www.5pm.co.uk/deals/shop
(c) For Wowcher wallet credit / Deal Credit;
(d) Towards an alternative deal.

The voucher will contain full instructions on what to do next including how you redeem the voucher and the contact details for the merchant providing the deal. For instance, if the deal is for a restaurant offer, we'll include contact details for the restaurant to enable you to book your table. If the deal is for a product that requires delivery, we'll send you a link to our redemption page or the merchant's website where you can enter your voucher code and delivery details so the product can be delivered to you.

Our vouchers are sent in a PDF format and you will therefore need to have a PDF viewing software installed into your device to view your voucher. Majority of modern devices will have either a built-in PDF viewer or PDF viewing software pre-installed. However if needed, you can download and install the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader here: http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader 

If you wish to check if specific dates or times are available pre-purchase, we would recommend to contact the venue/merchant providing the deal to enquire into their availability. All live deals will show the merchant’s logo which is hyperlinked to take you to their website where you will be able to locate their contact points. 

Wowcher and Livingsocial provides you with a discount code you can use with the merchant providing the deal in exchange for the item or service listed on the Wowcher. When you make a purchase with Wowcher or Livingsocial, you form a contract whereby you pay Wowcher / Livingsocial and in return receive a multi-purpose voucher. 
When you redeem your voucher with the merchant, you are forming a second contract with the merchant that is separate to the contract with Wowcher and Livingsocial. Under the separate contract with the merchant, the merchant agrees to provide you with the products or services in exchange for your voucher. 
Full instructions on what you need to do post-purchase is always included on the voucher itself and will always involve passing the voucher code to the merchant who is supplying the deal.
