    If you really need to get something from littlewoods I would suggest using there 'sister' catalogue. Although Littlewoods are interest free the initial price is alot more expensive. Additions and Very are cheaper but you must, must repay before the third month else the super high interest rate kicks in.

    I only use mine for special offers/christmas sales they have and that's only if I or the kids really really want/need it.
    (I ususally buy christmas presents in the January sales and store them away for the 11 months)

    If you are able to avoid buying through the clubs I suggest you do.

    I really like littlewoods, i have been a customer for over 10 years now!

    Some things are over priced, so you have to do your homework before ordering. But i am getting 12.5% cashback now which is fab!

    And they have very good sales too, which is even better :beer:

    Thanks for your replies.

    Whats the sister catalouge? They have something on at the moment, pay nothing for 12 months? Does that mean its interest free for 12 months?

    www.very.co.uk and yes its interest free for 12 months.

    Make sure you pay it off though before the interest kicks in as its horrendous otherwise.

    I shop with very and littlewoods. I compare both each time I buy something. Recently bought my daughters bunk beds from littlewoods, they give you cashback and I also got cashback from quidco. I can spread the cost throughout a year interest free too

  • I am with Very [Part of Littlewoods] - Love the next day delivery, special offers and discount codes they send out! I have never used the buy now pay in 12 months option as i always clear my balance in full - However if i did choose this option could i make part payments over the course of 12 months or do you have to wait and pay it in one go before the 12 months interest free period is up? Thanks:)

    Hi there is a link where you can pay any amount on a buy now pay later item as long as it is paid within the twelve months should be interest free,but be aware if you have an outstanding balance other than the buy now pay later item a payment must be made in addition to the payment made on the buy now pay later item.There is also an option to pay in three monthly instalments on normal balance so that u get that interest free also.
