    Sterling Silver Cubic Zirconia Mesh ID Bracelet.

    218/2311 was £59.99 now£21.99 add the special offer huggie earring for £6.29 and basket total comes to £10.28, just reserved mine/QUOTE]

    I reserved myself the same deal last night, and when i got to the store this morning, the price was without the discount, the manager went online and the offer was not there anymore, he said nothing he could do unless i could prove it, so of course of i went home luckily, when i reserved the item Argos sent me an email with the discounted price on it, which i took back to the shop, and got my items, so make sure you take print out when u collect!!

    I have just been to collect mine along with the matching dogtag and was amazed to have the price honoured without any fuss whatsoever. The girl on the till overrode it herself- didn't call the manager or anything. I just handed her a copy of the reservation email and questioned the total amount to pay.

    I have followed this thread and with so many shops not honouring the deal, I almost didn't bother trying. Am so glad I did as now have bargain pressies for my DS's 21st in 4 weeks. Many thanks OP:beer:

    This was at Middlesbrough Hill Street Centre BTW.

    Reserved both items last night @ Argos Bromley (showing 1 of each in stock), despite the severe weather conditions took a chance and went down there today armed with email printout. Quick Till showed £28.28 so went to manned tills and showed SA my print out with the £10.28 price reduction he called the Manager over to override price, she then went off and checked on the computer said that it has never been @ that price (!!!!) and said she had to call HO as these errors occur from time-to-time. Manager then returned and told me she would honour the price on this ocassion as there was an acknowlegement of the error by HO, she overode the price and bingo-bango 2 x binny-bargains for me - Big Thanks for OP!!!:j:beer::T:rotfl:

    Went to straight to jewellery counter,gave assistant the reservation no and waited....she could not sell them to me because the till did not recognise the code and was telling her the items were out of stock so she ask someone else for help.They both look shocked at the price and she then asks me how much i am expecting to pay for both items and i tell her £10.28 and she said it is showing at £8.28..... i laughed and said i would have it at her price and she then asked me if i want to take out insurance for them and i say yes.....she comes back and says she cannot believe that the insurance for the bracelet costs more than the price of the bracelet because the bracelet was coming up at £1.99 and we both laughed. My receipt shows

    218/2335 SILVER GENTS CZ HUGGIE £6.29
    887/1406 JEWELLERY INSURANCE 2YR £0.99

    218/2311 SILVER GENTS BRACELET £1.99
    887/1341 JEWELLERY INSURANCE £3.99

    TOTAL 4 ITEMS £13.26

    Ring... £59.99 now£21.99
    Earring £12.79 now £6.29

    £21.99 + £6.29 = £20 off for buying both = £8.28(£6.29+£1.99):T:T and Massive THANKS to OP
