Evans Cycles: any way to get discount?

[bungle]

Going in to Evans Cycles tomorrow, as looking for a new bike and it's near the office. If anything takes my fancy, do you know of any offers / discounts available?

A quick Google didn't throw anything up, and I don't have an old bike to trade-in.

Or are they generally up for a bit of a haggle? I'd only be spending around £400 though, so not a really expensive bike.

Thanks.

pretty sure they will price match so if you see the same bike elsewhere or online for less then ask if they will match it. At that sort of price you might not get much of a discount but ask if they will throw in something useful like a multitool or a spare tube in the deal

I've had 10% off a cheapish Trek there. Was just over £500 before discount.

Tesco points swap worth using if you have some.

You can get up to 50% off if you have vitality / prudential health care. It's payable in instalments over 4 quarters.

5% with quidco

Thanks folks. No pru healhcare or clubcard, but I could sign up for quidco if worth my while. Good to see a 10% discount given above, maybe I'll see what I can blag.

Budget creep seems to have taken over, I can see myself spending £500+...

They have a discount if you trade in an old bike at the moment, and they mean anything, I am taking an old kids bike frame and handlebars my mate had in his shed for £100 off ( on £1000 bike). If you dont have a heap buy one for <£10 off ebay.

As mentioned already, if you have any Tesco Clubcard vouchers you can double them up on Clubcard Boost.

£2.50 = £5.00

They also price match.

I have an old nail that you can use as a trade-in if you like. It would save me a trip to the tip. Based in Lewisham

Would be perfect if I was a bit nearer (Coventry).

But I reckon if they are willing to give me £30/50 off for giving them a pile of scrap metal, I'd hope that it was fairly easy to just get that money off anyway. But I guess we will see, will try to go in later today.

Tried freecycle as well, but nothing on there.

If they insist on you having to take in an old bike, try your local tip ...sorry, council refuse recycling centre.

I did think this actually. But I remember someone posting on here once that the local "refuse recycling operatives" wouldn't let him take something away from the tip, even though he was going to actually use it, and they were going to crush/burn/landfill it. Probably quoted health & safety or some other rubbish.

But yeah I might try it, if it'll be worth my while (considering how much it will get me off, if budget creep continues...)

Bought from there a couple of times. No money off really, but they gave 10% worth of accessories.

It would be worth getting an old clunker if it was free.

How bad does it have to be before they'd say no?

Thanks - appreciate the offer. But will have a look at the tip, and see how much a trade-in would get be, to see if it's actually worth my while coming to redditch!

I recently purchased a new bike from Evans and I didn't have to offer them anything in p/ex, the store manager has the discretion to still give you the discount.
