I found that if you do it this way you are more likely to be offered a CL?
I see it says "The £15 first order discount is conditional on being accepted for an Empire Stores credit account, acceptance is subject to credit status. If you are not accepted for a credit account you will not be entitled to the discount and will not be sent a copy of the catalogue. Minimum order value £25." So I guess if I argued they'd come back and say I knew I was consenting to a credit search by requesting it, because I wouldn't have got one otherwise0 -
