    Quick query, tried a £5 off £50 code but as total now £45.52 dropped the points down to 180 basic so used a points code instead but only given me the 1700 points and none on the order value, shd i email them and query as normally do

    Not sure Pesky - I did same as you and and I got a total of 1700 points (the 3 items I brought would have been an extra 300 points)

    I assumed this was correct and that it wasn't adding your normal points value to the order but perhaps I'm wrong :confused:

    Just managed to get quite a bit of the Christmas shopping done and all being delivered next week. Another thing ticked off the list!

  • Bump!

    Did everyone get their normal points for their spend added to the £12 points >£50 offer or is it just me and Pesky that missed out?!

    I think someone said yesterday that the 1200 points was the total for your £50 spend?

    So you're not actually getting 1200 extra points but they are making your normal points up to 1200 for every £50.

    I think that's what was said yesterday but I might well be wrong so feel free to correct me?:confused:

    The 1200 bonus points includes your normal points on a £50 spend IYSWIM. Its made up of 200 normal points and 1000 bonus points, making a total of 1200. The only extra points you'll get are for whatever amount over £50 you spend, plus any codes you used.

    So if you spent £50 and used a 500 points codes the total no. of points you should get would be 1700. Hope that makes sense, morning coffee hasn't kicked in yet:rotfl:

    That was my understanding too but sinw's post suggests that she got the 200 points per item for her Karvol spend plus the 1200 offer points for spending £50 :confused:

    Very confusing - Me I'm chuffed with 1700 points for my £50 spend on the planetarium, Moonsand adventure set and ice cream maker :)

    Yep thanks Claire makes sense to me - perhaps the system added the 4200 points for Sinw's Karvol on in error - a glitch maybe as the karvol was on a 200 points offer?!
    Who know's ;)

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Name Dropper Combo Breaker
    Anyone got any suggestions on how to make this a better deal?

    Currently got:

    3 x Benefit items, total £51.59

    1200 points wys £50
    Extra 500 points wys £50 from code
    750 points wyb 3 x Benefit

    Seems to add to 2454 points so I guess that's an extra 4 for the £1 spend above £50.

    Any other suggestions of what I could do to improve that?
  • i ordered some matresses for my twins cots yesterday and made the order up to £100 with some other bits and one lot of karvol drops and the extra 500 points and got 3104 points i think it was for a £102 spend

    I stayed up til after 2am trying to order online. Finaly got through, put all the things in my basket then discovered the same as you, gave up & went to bed!:mad:

    Was wondering why this happened? Nobody else seems to have a conflict between the 1200 points & the £5 off.:confused:
