Did you take the receipt? Otherwise take it back without the receipt and get vouchers instead. The receipt shows it as part of an offer. No receipt and they won't know that!

I wasn't smart enough to think of that! I did take the receipt and even though they were very busy they picked up on the offer and when I queried it they fetched the manager! So I gave in gracefully

Yea the problem is the stores seem to be HEAVILY promoting this at the moment (Stacked up by the tills, on collection, as you walk in!!!) so the staff will know what you are trying to do easily.

Wonder if the no receipt method is a winner

Try again with no receipt!! at a different store!

Order screen says the printer is a reduced price as part of an offer - but it isn't! The £79.99 is a fixed price.
I've ordered one and I'm going to pay cash tomorrow, then return the printer to a different store.

Only worry is the reviews for this camera aren't glowing - appears to have a short battery life, and no optical zoom.

The advert in the paper has a bit at the bottom that says if you return the printer under the sixteen day money back guarantee then you have to return the camera as well.

Somebody has posted about this camera/printer on the Grab it While You Can section and someone has written in tonight to say that they bought the camera/printer and then returned the printer and got the £79.99 back. Would love the camera for £20 but don't really want to pay £100 for both.

The only way around it is to return the printer as a gift without a receipt and get £80 in vouchers back. If you are happy to do that then it is fine. If you want your £80 back in the bank then it's alot harder.

Anybody tried this now the offer is over?

Did this last year with the receipt and got cash for the printer but think they may have wised up to it. I would def give it a go without though, it's worth a try
