I want to buy from Amazon... but I want to make it worthwhile...

Alrighty There People!

I want to buy a new phone from Amazon.co.uk, currently sitting at around the £400.00 mark.

Is there any way that I can get this cheaper - discount codes, cashback sites, credit card deals, etc?

I've been scouring the net, and the only thing that I can find is the Amazon credit card, which will get me £15 worth of vouchers to spend after I've already bought the phone - but what I really want is a good price on the phone itself.

I've looked everywhere, and Amazon is a good £40 cheaper than anywhere else for this particular model.

Help would be much appreciated!

rarely do you get codes for Amazon only way is nectar points

There are few cashback sites which allow Amazon, Nectar seems to be the only one. If you have vouchers from any survey sites (take months and months to earn) then use them but if you don't have any, its not worth trying to get them now as it would take you a few years to get £400 from survey sites!

Sorry I can't be of more help. Maybe keep your eye on it and see if the price goes down? there are sales starting everywhere at the moment and it could well go down in price- however it may well rise in price- its hard to know what could happen with Amazon's prices, they do both quite frequently IME.

I don't think that you'll find any discount on the phone you are looking to buy.

Maybe check few other online shops or check the product locally (You might find a discount code for a local shop)

Just me 2 cents.

Thanks though

Thanks for all the replies, I thought that that would be the general consensus.

So...... how about ebay? Any way I can get discount codes for ebay? Or is that generally 'free shipping' codes?

ebay codes are specific for that person and even when you get them which had two recently it was only for certain goods

Okay thanks, looks like I'm snookered into paying full price...

MSE has an Amazon Discount Finder. Have you tried it? Article and tool here:

Yeah I have, but it's a very specific phone that I want, and I can't get it any cheaper. Thanks though.

I would be wary of buying a phone from eBay - anything valuable I avoid as I want the security of the standard manufacturer warranty.
