Screwfix 10% Discount

[Usenet Nutter]

They have resumed the 10% Off discounts ..Got the e-mail today .Ends Tuesday 26th January .

[Roger Mills]

Yes, that's the latest of several I've received recently.

[Dave Starling]

Do you need a code or is it taken off automatically at the checkout stage?

And does it apply in store as well? I have some in store only vouchers that need spending...

[Roger Mills]

It contains what it calls a "Unique Offer Code" - consisting of 2 letters and 7 digits - which I assume is specific to my account, and wouldn't work for anyone else. You have to spend at least £50 to get the 10% discount. When you enter the code, it doesn't reduce the balance shown on screen but it *does* reduce the amount charged to your credit card. I used to be sceptical about this - but have done it several times, and it *does* work.

The offer is described as a "A Web Exclusive" - which pretty much rules out using it in store, I would have thought.

Bother, thanks anyway might be off to B&Q with that 15% voucher and the 3 for 1 loft insulation... B-)

I have sucessfully used the 'unique' code sent to a friend, so I don't think they are that unique.

Alan.

[Roger Mills]

That's interesting!

If so, why is there an option to print on the voucher?

I've used previous ones in store no problem .... even used a couple of reprints of the same voucher

[Roger Mills]

As far as I can see, there *isn't* a print option on mine, and the instructions only deal with using it on-line.

Maybe yours is different?

[dg]

LOL .... sorry my bad - I got this confused with the B&Q 15% off voucher thread

The T&C's in the Screwfix email state web use only

I've just had a look at all the recent SF emails containing the 10% offer (all sitting in my Deleted folder) - and have discovered that the "unique codes" all consist of my Customer Number, preceded by 2 letters. The letters are different each time, but the numbers are always the same.

So it's all the more curious as to how a voucher could be used by anyone other than the customer to whom the email was sent.
