Right credit card for DIY purchaces

Hoping to buy a new house soon, well it's really an older house that will need new curtains/carpets/painting etc.

Have got the money to buy what we need (i think) but is there a credit card that will get us a discount in B&Q Homebase etc?
Was a 40 a day smoker for 20 years.
Decided to give up, and haven't had a fag for 12 years.
Halfway through losing six stone.

Looking forward to early retirement.

    mse guide to cashback cc`s

  • Quidco now do 2% cashback on what you spend in store at B&Q

    Any visa/mastercard would do but you need to register the card at www.quidco.com first. You could combine with egg/capital one cashback cards.

    Quidco take the first £5 but still better than nothing.
  • I think the best way is to go to B&Q with an older person and take advantage of their 10% discount on Wednesdays for the over 60's.

    i work at B&Q and theres no credit cards that i know of that offer discounts, if you know anyone that works in the kingfisher group, we occasionally get 20% off family and friends vouchers which you can use.
    i would probably use a tesco credit card, cause the money you spend on building can be used on food :D
