So the "never" bit was actually an economy with the truth then. I am sure they are plenty of other cases where you probably do pay something to get a discount later (e.g.paying for a flat rate call package to get unmetered calls etc). The irony is that its not even a good metaphor for prime since part of it a subscription to a streaming service anyway. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Say £6 off when you spend £40 or more and the total is £38.67, add £1.50 of polos and £4.50 doesn't leave my wallet when it otherwise would. B-) +1 but only when I would normally buy the same goods in smaller quantities and at a competitive price. I use the Farmfoods who do 10% discount vouchers if you spend £50, £75 or £100. I'm careful to make sure the bill comes close to those amounts and if short I buy multiple jars of (instant) coffee I like which is usually cheaper than the large supermarkets. Where I'm visiting soon the local (rural) supermarket always has 10p/litre off on petrol on a £40 spend. There is always something on offer at competitive prices to increase the spend to £40 such as bog rolls etc. that will always be used and have no use by date. In this case there is very little local alternative for obtaining groceries without traveling another 30 minutes in a car to another store with similar pricing for both goods and petrol. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

er.. guilty. Now waiting to see if I get the refund after 30 days! I have been signed up for free 30 day prime trial without knowingly doing it. I cancelled soon after finding out and before the first subscription payment. I believe there may be cases where you don't get the option during the latter stages payment/delivery to opt out because the goods on offer were ONLY available (or available at that price) to prime customers but you didn't have to be an existing prime subscriber to buy them. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

Since i tend to only buy here and there, then its not a good deal for me. Brian We use Tesco Club Card points to get discount on Euro Tunnel. The points convert to vouchers (in money) which are worth 3x as much if you use them on Eurotunnel. We've just saved about £200 on a crossing. In the past we've bought two Kindles, camera lenses, ..... all when Tesco used to have 'double up' offers on vouchers for goods. Now they don't do it on goods. We also get a steady stream of vouchers from M&S (I have their credit card). Needless to say, I never pay interest! Nectar Points off Ebay mount up and convert to cash vouchers. Ditto the odd time we shop in Sainsburys. Waitrose card gives discount at the till. We even have cards for various French supermarkets which we use on holiday. They all seem to work in different ways, some give discount on certain items, others give vouchers etc. All 'money for nothing', we'd shop there away. |
