Discount codes/bargain thread

[Skyedriver]

Sorry, questions Questions
How does the employee voucher scheme work?
Do I not need to be an employee or show a employee card or something.
How long can I reserve the bike for as I'm away for a while over Easter?

Typical
I cannot collect within the next few days and they cannot hold it for more than 7.
And if the offer ends before I collect, then I don't get it at that offer price.
Whenever there's a bargain/offer I'm indisposed.....

Reserve for store collection at the £729 price.

Work out your price with British Cycling discount which is £657?

Buy £660 worth of vouchers (which should set you back £594) and, having brandished your BC membership card, use them to pay for the bike upon pickup.

Just picked up a bike using the 10% Boardman discount and the 10% online discount using the code B15BK08 and the shop politely refused to give the 10% BCF discount saying that I couldn't use the 10% online discount *and* the BCF discount together. Any ideas? Take it up with the Halfords head office?

I guess it's up to the individual store, but (fearing a similar scenario) I screengrabbed the following conversation when I was thinking of buying a new MTB from them. You might be able to show this to your local store?

Just spent 20 minutes on the phone with a pleasant and helpful chap at Halfords Customer Service and he's arranged for me to get the missing 10% credited. So all's well that ends well.

Garmin Edge 200 £69.99 at Aldi today.

Heads up- the 20% off various bike bits at Halfords ends tonight. I just bought some new SPD-SL cleats, normally a frankly ridiculous £20 in Halfords, for £8.82. (Including BC discount) I've just reserved a second set as spares, as commuting by bike on the train is wearing them out quite quickly.

Quite tempted by one of the Garmin Cameras. Much better shape form factor for attaching to side of helmet for commuting.

I don't think Garmin have done very well with those cameras. Everywhere I look, they appear to be heavily discounted. Maybe there is a new model coming out.

Are these (gear cables) the da7900 ptfe version or 9000 polymer ones?

Last time was 6 April. You should be able to go through the order process and enter the code and see the discount applied to your shopping cart before making any payment.

[psychoR1]

Thanks - I get that far and then after putting card details etc in I get:

"An error occurred in the process of payment
Order #.......
Before attempting to process this order again please check you have input all your billing information correctly, for more information please get in contact with us via phone or email with your reference number"

any ideas?

I had that - I think you are failing the Verified By Visa thing. Are you doing it from work rather than home?
