    hi many thanks for this post if i could get the car up the hill i would go get some hot wheels for a stocking filler oh well ill check again once snow has cleared.

    if you go though quidco i noticed they are doing an offer on reserve an collect for argos where you will get 50p back.

    t&c are

    Reserve & Collect cashback offered for a limited time only.

    For Reserve & Collect purchases, you must retain your online Reservation number and your TXN number, this can be found on the bottom of your in-store receipt.
    Your transaction will track at £0.00 cashback, you will then need to confirm your Reservation and TXN number on the verify form within your Transactions page in order to qualify for cashback.

    Your £0.50 cashback will then be inserted on to your Quidco account up to 30 days after you have verified your sale.

    Please verify your collected sale by 26th December 2010, any sales not verified by this date will not qualify for cashback.

    do a seperate thread - it will get lost in here - they did this last year and it means you can get items for nothing if you find them under 50p - think it was £1 last time though so it was easier

    I just ordered the spin blasters and some of the other half price stuff from the other thread fro home delivery.
    Spin blaster came up as 2 for £5 and went through checkout like that, so might be easier if like me you dont fancy going out in this weather
    Always on the hunt for a bargain

    not glad to see :D but happy to know i wasnt the only one with a pig ignorant masnager(x2 stores for me) that was unable to get the skateboard glitch . however wife just picked these up and after a bit of umming and arrring they gave for the reserved price but be warned they kept a copy of the email printout so they could try to rectify at ho, as they said they had a huge problem recently with skateboard glitch:rotfl: so if you are getting these then be quick before they say it has been noticed and no longer available at the resrved price due to pricing error, which is the line i got when trying to get skateboards.

    Yah!! I went straight down to Argos with 2 tired, screaming toddlers for back up! went to till and showed the confirmation, £9.98 please, I said oh no the reservation is showing £5. Off she went and got a manager to over ride, nothing else was mentioned. I then paid with my £5 free from last weeks over £50 spend, so in effect I got £20 worth of toys for free!! I feel much better now after nasty skateboard manager (luckily it wasn't him today).:rotfl:
    My mum keeps telling me i'm going to get banned from Argos!
    I think the trick is to get there asap after reserving before they cotton on and have hoards of people in there doing the same!
    Thanks

    thanks i got 2 of the spin balsters for £5 :D i acted clueless when it was showing up as £9.98 on the tiill & she went & checked the computer & came back & gave me them both for a fiver :)
    :beer: Happy Bargain Hunting!! :beer:
  • I was just in Argos to pick up the Hot Wheels colour shifter thingy's, had my reservation in hand, went to till rather than self-checkout and the guy had to call the manager over, who then called head office who said they knew nothing of this 'glitch' and told the manager NOT to honour it because it seemed that there were too many glitches happening with reservations. Ah well, I got the skateboards a few weeks ago, so wasn't going to make a big deal about it. All wasn't lost though because I had also reserved the Vtech computer that was £74.99 down to £18.74!!!!
    Well done to those who do get the glitch and good luck to those still to try!!!

  • Got two Hot Wheels colour shifter for £5....thank you for posting!!!:j:j

    Thanks Clair. My son has two partys to go to in the lead up to Xmas so any money saving is appreciated & these will be great as part of the present. I have reserved the two Hot Wheels for £5 & printed out the page so i will go brandishing it tomorrow in my local Argos ready incase of a confrontation, just hope i get the nice lady i know who works on customer services!;).
