    Hello All,

    Thought that i would let you know that Debenhams in Dundee have all their red letter days half price!

    Eeek - another MSE in Dundee. Looks like I have competition now! ;) (Keep an eye on Tesco Kingsway - they're good for CDs!)

    Cheers,
    Mike

    was there one for a hot air ballon flight, do you remember?

    I really want two and if its half price will be able to afford.


    Unless they changed the price since 14th Oct, otherwise it's £99 in Bullring.

    So it's £198 for two.
  • Hello All,

    Thought that i would let you know that Debenhams in Dundee have all their red letter days half price!

    I have an orange experience voucher that cost £99 originally for £49.50 and allows you 10 different experiences or rather a choice of throughout Scotland. These included:-

    Bird of prey experience,
    Canoyoning for two,
    Golf Lessons & 18 holes,
    Horse riding for two,
    Life coaching,
    Light aircraft flying (i fancy this one myself),
    Microlighting,
    Quadbiking,
    Scuba Diving for two,
    White water rafting for two.

    Only draw back is that the voucher expiry date is 15/02/06 but still handy for xmas or upcoming birthdays for those you dont have a clue what to get for.

    There was quite a few to chose from starting at £24.50 - blue experience voucher which includes:-

    Adopt a dolphin,
    Aromatherapy Massage,
    Canyoning,
    Floatation (you can do that in your bath anytime!),
    High speed passenger ride (on what with who doesnt say)
    Jet Ski-ing,
    Karting,
    Kayaking,
    Scuba Diving for two - handy for mum & dads chrissie here
    or White water rafting.

    There was i think ferrarri driving experience too and that was about £130 as well as a few others. Worth a look if you want something different or you just dont know what to get someone as they have it all.

    Note that all seem to have the February expiry date on them and you need your receipt to claim the experience but i just got gift receipts so they cant see the price.

    Good luck and dont forget you get nectar points too - i forgot my card !

    :dance: :idea: :dance: :idea: :dance: :idea: :dance: :idea: :dance:

    I just ordered one,but the debenhams site states 'voucher valid for at least six months' so I hope it does or I will getting in touch with them.I will wait and see what the voucher states on arrival

    Wasn't me, although I was in there today. I did notice a large pile of crates with "Red letter days: Transfer to Glasgow" stamped on the side :confused:

    Quite annoying - coz they also had the big signs with "half price" still on the rack. Seems like a simple marketing ploy. Put em half price for a day and then transfer the stock to a branch that's not running the offer ;)

    Cheers,
    Mike

    Not been to Riverside Drive for a while. My single refund experience there was not the greatest (I swear the customer services rep was chewing wasp). I know that Kingsway had some PCs but I don't know if they are the reduced ones that others have referred to. Gotta admit I'm *VERY* tempted, but I don't think I would have the bottle to try.... but if you manage to get one, try and get someone to film the managers reaction :D
