empire stores ; gold award gift

teenage_Drama

got a letter from empire stores about a gold award gift...anyone know what it is

I think everyone gets the 'gold' awards but in my experience, and I've been with Empire for 15 years, these awards really depend on what you spend.

I've never got a tv or expensive gift when it says 'one of these gifts'.

I rarely ever pay full price for anything but wait until things are in the sale ( I had a lovely white £40 jacket for £13.99 less 10% com aswell) and rarely order unless I am getting a free gift because even if I don't want it some-one else in the family will.:rolleyes:

usually rubbish which is why they don't tell you what it is!!! they may be able to tell you when you order - when i worked there it came up at the end of the order - bit late then though!

btw in 7 years working for redcats i never once put through a bronze or silver gift - only gold! what are the odds? i know there are loads of staff but still.....

I was with Empire and i won countless gold awards. None of the gifts i received were worth more than £10.
This is just a way to keep you shopping. By the way, Empire is one of the worst catalogues out there. The clothes are awful - badly made and more expensive than anywhere else (except maybe littlewoods). Ditch it and go with Additions - the cheapest around and the clothes are fab!

I can' remember the gold award free gift but I have a code for a free handbag PH0355, if you order 2 items you will aslo get the matching purse.
Also AT0514 is for a free blender.

I received the blender. not top quality probably about £12 in the shops. But it works ok, has got a guarantee and as my daughter wanted one to make soup i gave it to her and she's happy enough

You are right, they are the same company but additions clothes are more trendy and a hell of a lot cheaper. Kays and Choice are the same and they have different products and variations in price.
I am a catalogue junkie and additions is the best by far. You don't get free gifts or discount codes but you make up for that in cheaper goods.
