Tesco Vouchers back to 4x at Goldsmiths

[Gixer]

Received my latest clubcard vouchers this morning. Once again Goldsmiths is worth 4x until Xmas

Just my luck, they reduced it to 3x when I started collecting and then a couple of weeks ago after the Airmile devaluation and the Tesco instore voucher reduction I got cold feet and changed most of mine in for a watch. Oh well with the £52 I got this morning and the ones I still had left it means my wife can get the watch she liked as well

I was just looking at this and trying to work out if I can afford / justify an entry level Omega Seamaster.. only problem is, with my tokens, I might just be able to scrape £100 off.. just the small matter of finding the other £1,400 then!

Just seen this today and ordered mine.

I've got £900 coming my way. I will have to look to see what that will or won't get me.

Actually, id quite like to get my dad something nice. I've no idea what though.

You should get a good 20% Omega at any Dealer, there's enough of them around.

20% off an omega you mean?

I'm not sure I will if it's with tesco vouchers, I think they are treated differently than cold hard cash.

Yeah. But you don't whip the vouchers out until you have agreed a price.

I've just looked, not very much is the answer.

Considering its basically a free watch(or built into the cost of your shopping)

There are plenty of Oris automatics,Longines automatics, Rado ,Raymond Weil and Tags in budget

If you are paying with Vouchers, you pay the full retail price - it is in the T&Cs.

There is another way however...

It is not strictly within the terms of the Clubcard Scheme, but you can buy the vouchers on ebay - the "rate" changes from time to time, but iro 2x face vale.

If you find a seller with enough vouchers, and a high feedback, for every £100 you pay them, they can exchange the vouvhers for Goldsmiths and get you £200...

The branches are meant to check the surname on the vouchers are the same, but no all do (and you can always say I am not married to my partner, for example).

Not strictly within the terms because the vouchers should not be transferable, but straightforward if you wanted to do it and an easy way of getting a nice watch at 50% of retail.

Thanks, hadn't spotted the 4x offer so that means £200 in G'smiths vouchers to come my way. Maybe time to for me to scratch that G-shock itch?

[steve2]

bumping this back up, i have ordered my £1086 worth of vouchers and they are valid for six months so i am thinking about waiting avbit and getting more vouchers which will probably get me up to about £1500 to which i coud happily add another couple of hundred, I have a mid size seamaster and a Tissot 200 for daily wear but am looking at the Brietling Colt automatic or a Tag, not too sure about the look of teLongines, any thoughts on my choices please.

I take it these vouchers can only be used for new purchases? I seem to remember it ruled out pre-owned (ok, not what I'm after) but are other services excluded as well?

I have an Oris which needs a repair and probably a service. Financially it isn't really worth paying too much by way of cash to get it done and I'm ambivalent about it's use to me (been sat broken in the wardrobe for 12m+). Plus, I'm lazy & didn't have toouch joy when I looked at getting it done initially. However, I have enough Clubcard vouchers to pay at least most of the bill & if I could get it sorted via the vouchers, it would be quite handy to have it back in use.

you can only use them on new purchases, not even sale items, and as to how much i spend in tesco's it is a Tesco credit card i have and i pay for everything on it to get the points and also i pay it off in full every month

[Subman]

As has been previously said, if you are using Tesco vouchers they will be deducted from the list price of watch. No discount available.

Plus, if anyone wants to sell me their tesco vouchers PM me

Hi guys

bit of newbie advice needed, havent owned a watch in years but quite fancy a one for christmas and with this deal i can choose up to £400. i dont know much about watches but it seems citizen ones seem to be the best buy in my price range (the g shock range appear to be massively over priced)

what are peoples thoughts on the citizen range? my dad has the last citizen watch on page 3 and he says its been faultless, tried it on and liked it except it was rather loose on my small wrist

is this an issue on all these type of watches? if so i may be limited to leather straps

A little word of warning!!!

I went down to Goldsmiths with a wallet full of vouchers last year, every watch I was interested in was cheaper without the vouchers (as they revert to full price) this year I gave the points to my son, who got American Golf vouchers who don't operate this full price policy?

I used to think it was a good scheme but now think it's a bit of a con

Would the price listed on this one the full RRP? as if so it will only cost £100, and for example amazon sell it at around £350 iirc

or is it not as simple as that?

I'm sure that will be fine, the watches I was looking at were a bit more money than that.
