I just realised I am no longer a wiggle gold customer :cry:

Times is hard innit.

See DDD this is what you'll be reduced to.

    :(

    How long do they let you keep gold for? Mine seems to have continued but I'm sure I can't have spent enough, errr, can I?!

    It's only £100 in the last year.

    Although looking at it I think it used to be £50, because I did have gold a couple of weeks ago and there is only one order that has gone over a year since and that was for cables and bar tape.

    Didn't it used to be a 10% discount too? Now it's saying 5%

    I blame wiggle...

    Sign up for a British Cycling membership, you get platinum discount @ Wiggle then for the £25 a year fee as well as discounts at various other stores and sites and a few other benefits :-)

    I'm £11 away from losing my gold status. If Wiggle prices were more competitive and they had the bits I wanted then I'd use them more.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Really? I'm a member of BC and haven't got platinum membership... How do you claim it?

    Aha, go to british cycling, log in, go to My Benefits and 'buy through the BC shop'. There's then a link to wiggle to register as a platinum member: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/friend/British%20Cycling

    Cheers bails! Bl00dy work getting in the way of checking e-mail :-) I hadn't realized myself until the other day when I was fishing around on the site. That benefit alone is worth the annual subscription!

    Just in case anyone's planning on a wiggle attack this winter.

    The same (platinum) works if you are a member of CTC. Go through their site and suddenly, you are a valued customer :)

    As I've said on other posts, Wiggle aren't competitive at the moment, even including the discounts.

    In fact they are quite expensive.

    I wouldn't worry, take your business elsewhere.

    Then they will learn.
