Waterstones have started their deal of the day today with the first one being The Hairy Bikers 12 Days of Christmas reduced fron £20 down to £8.

5% with Quidco and 3 points per £1 spent with the Waterstones (reward) Card. So with todays purchase you will get 24 points, worth 24p towards a purchase.

Deal of the day runs from today until 20/12/10.

Edit- Not as good as first thought, see post below. You have to spend £10 to buy at this price. A bit crafty as last year the price you saw was the price you paid, no catches.

    You have missed out a very important part of the deal

    Deal of the day price £8.00*
    *When you spend £10 or more on Waterstones.com


    *Deal of the day Terms and Conditions
    1. You will be eligible for the Deal of the day price on the stated title(s) when you spend £10 or more in a single transaction on Waterstones.com, exclusive of eBooks, the Deal of the day title and online postage and packaging.


    So you have to spend £10 on-line before you get the deal of the day.


    It is £7.99 at the book people and there are lots of codes around for free postage.


    So waterstones is not such a great deal unless you are already buying other books.



    Yours
