edited September 2011 in MTB general
just received some new gloves from CRC and inside the parcel was a £10 voucher.
Was well happy until i read the conditions! Minimum spend of £75 (which is ok), but voucher is valid for the next 2 weeks!!!

Now if i've just ordered from the site i'm not likely to be ordering again in the next 2 weeks to the value of £75+ If i needed anything i'd of ordered them when i ordered the bloody gloves!!!!!

Not sure if it is transferable but if anyone wants it let me know. You can try to see if it works

    I got my voucher with some bits that came yesterday (which I ordered a week ago - delivery to France and all that) and my CRC basket is totaling £75.71 today - result!

    I had two last week, just give the code to someone to use.

    Also CRC is not always the cheapest place shop around and you will probably save a tenner anyway. :wink:

    I have never heard anyone say a coupon is useless, if you don't like saving money you need to be in a looney bin.

    The point is it gets some people to go buy something again when they might not have otherwise. They don't do them out of the goodness of their heart, they know how people behave and how to market their products.

    It's the same as a deal in a Supermarket, which typically isn't much of a deal at all, but loads will buy that 2nd item in order to get the advertised "bargain", not realising they are only saving 1p compared to buying them individually (or even may be paying more!), and on top of that they wouldn't have normally bought 2 anyway. Then they end up with a 2nd they don't eat in time and it goes off so they bin it.

    But you are at liberty to chuck it in the bin. I'd rather have Haribo.

    True, and Haribo is more likely to make me buy from them again. Mmm.

    But sometimes, just sometimes you were going to buy anyway and you got to save some money.

    Though I'd still spend £10 more elsewhere than risk CRC given the hassles I seem to have with them ;)

    Edit: In fact Wiggle's 20% off everything for the next few days works out a better deal if you're going to spend that much and better still the more you spend.
