    Go into your account and the "Get rewards" section. You can then buy a £5 gift card for 125 points or a £10 gift card for 250 points. Like them/follow on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for an additional 100 points each which will be 500 points total.
    I think they've got wise to it though, as the order I placed is currently showing as "unfulfilled" with only the % discount, not any of the "card" ones., with the appropriately higher cost total. But my card has only been charged for the lower (nearly free!) amount...
    That should be OK, even my fulfilled order (which has been delivered) is showing as £23.80 but I got it for free as shown in the screenshot!

    Still don't understand how you get the other points via FB and Instagram? Liked both but nothing came through :(

    Got it :lol::lol::lol:

    Somebody has taken some effort to build that, think I've seen another Corsa like that too and something with a little more kudos.

    So sorry .. just make sure you double check.. I think Evans has mislabelled the Jersey for a Jacket

    100% the jersey.

    Light jacket = jersey. The jacket is labelled differently and RRPd at 260 vs 210 for the 'light jacket'.

    Perfect for almost all UK Autumn/ Winter/ Spring conditions with the right layer, unless you run very very cold or it is absolutely chucking it down.

    It had better fcucking well be the jersey; I've just spent £130 on the jacket in M and ceramic blue and thought I'd got a bargain.

    It is lovely though

    ETA - I think you're right, it's not got the same details as my jacket, and the description keeps saying Jersey. Phew!

    Ta, have taken a punt - 8% back through work as well, wo works out to within a few pennies of what my current Rosless Alpha Jersey cost a few years back. Why don't they do a nice Black and Yellow colurscheme though :-(
    Appreciate it is the jersey rather than jacket.
    Strange Evans describe it as such, but have seen them do the same previously, with Gore amongst other brands.

    TBH if you run warm the jersey may well be the more useful / versatile garment. I'm old and slow, but I go out whatever the weather so the jacket was I think the better choice for me.

    I did all this sharing, follow, like stuff earlier this week to obtain a £15 gift card. Left the stuff in my basket (only 2 pairs of socks as all jerseys in my size were out of stock) because I baulked at the delivery cost and they emailed me a free delivery code because I had a basket unpaid for. Used the gift card to buy the socks totalling £13, the free delivery code they sent me and the socks were delivered yesterday.

    £10.49 at both CRC and Halfords, 10% bc discount at makes it a stonking price. I've stocked up.

    does anyone use e-vouchers when buying from evans or decathlon?
    Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    so basically if you use them you get 7% off anything no exclusions, seems like a good deal

    Ditto for Evans, and do the same for Halfords.

    yep, depends on your workscheme - mine used to be 10% normally and 15% on promotions, but has now dropped to 8\12 :-(
    I was lucky with my Synapse, as it was briefly up to the full 15 back then.

    The vouchers I buy are valid for 2 years.

    The downsides are, that cashback such as through TCB does not apply, as when you add the vouchers, it takes the checkout amount down to £0.00.
    IF you want to return something, the refund is either added to a gift card and sent to you in the post, OR if you call them they can give you a replacement e-voucher.
    But once you buy the voucher you are committed to spending it with Evans - presume Decathlon work out the same.
    Not a big issue with the refund method if it's a jersey or something as you'll spend it within 2 years, but clearly 2K on a bike, could be more of a pain - say it ends up out of stock, or gets damaged, so there is an element of risk in there too.
    Thinking about it, I also bought the Boardman Hybrid using a top up for a gift card in the same way, for an extra 10% off.

    I've had zero issues though.

    Irritatingly my workscheme does not include Decathlon :evil:

    I've used the e-vouchers a few times. Last time was on a basket of items, one of which I later needed to return. Purchased online but returned item to Cardiff store as was visiting at the time. Refund went straight back on card. Wasn't a high value item though. The t&c's suggest this shouldn't happen, but wasn't an issue in store.

    Well if anyone's interested the free Bupa rewards site has Evans, Decathlon and a load more non companies including cinema, M&S, john lewis, argos, booking.com etc https://bupa3.xexec.com/

    I think Argos allows multiple vouchers and TCB combined. I'm being bugged to get a Dyson thingy-me-bob which I believe with multiple voucher use I can knock £50 off a £350 price, or i could just buy some more bike stuff .....
