Argos or Homebase?

I have seen a dining table and chairs (Winslow) priced at £175.99 on both Homebase and Argos websites.

How do I get the best deal????

I have an Amex card offering 5% cashback, and Quidco are offering 1.5% cashback on both sites.

Are there any other codes I can use to cut the cost even further?

Thanks

    1. Quidco gives you 1.5% back in cash.
    2. Argos MasterCard gives you 2% back in vouchers.
    3. You could wait for the the £10 promotion to come back.
    4. Argos often has things on offer, you could wait to see if they ever put this table on offer.
    5. Sometimes you get promotion codes by email.

    Hmmm .......... Swings and roundabouts. Not promoting Homebase, but they do have a 'loyalty' card which gives you money cash in coupons based on any spend you make and agree the 10% day is a good thought.. You'll have to get your calculator out.

    I don't suppose Homebase mind if you buy from Argos as both they and Argos are owned by the Home Retail Group :think:

    I have one of these, but it says you cannot use it on website, so I assume this is the same as the store ordering it.
