National Savings certificates - a question?

My mother-in-law wants to buy £15,000 worth.
Are there any discounts she can get (for example rebated commission from an IFA)?
The only thought I have had so far is that if she had the Halifax moneyback current account (which she does not) she could buy them with a debit card and get 1% back as a rebate (actually only on the first £10,000 because that is the condition of that account).
Any ways of getting a discount on the price??

Depending on the current account, you could get money back, in theory. Depends how the bank views this transaction: as a spend or as a money withdrawal.
I don't remember if NSANDI accept credit cards to pay for certificates... Amex would be an option if they do...Good, clean fun....MFW #11 2015 £7657 / £88800
