    I think you need to spend over so much to get the 12 months free

    Very are a big company and lots of people use them but mind you will pay over the odds and also they will do a credit search before they give you an account

    Mind if you do go for it they always have an offer on £15 off first order ect so look for that on the very site
    If you dont like me remember its mind over matter, I dont mind and you dont matter ;)
  • Just remember though that if you have to pay in 12 months you will be paying when you are buying xmas presents in 2012.....
  • spend £40 or over on your first order and enter the code at checkout to get £25 off!! terms and conditions, and code discount is all in the link below. hope this helps.

    Yeah I have ordered a couple of things from them and paid 12 months later, however what I have ordered from them was heavily reduced as generally they are way overpriced. Keep an eye on here as over past month or so I have got some great bargains on footwear etc for family crimbo presents x

    I got my sons xbox this way and got it for £172 with codes and can pay it off in a couple of months rather than a lump sum and with the code its not much different than high street prices.

    If you buy now pay later you don't pay anything or you can pay whatever you want and you won't get penalized but miss the deadline and it'll cost you.

    You also have to make sure your payment is targeted to the buy now pay later items ie ring and tell them or specify online or else it just goes as credit in your normal pay term account and this has caught a few people out when they thought they were paying off BNPL but it wasn't. .
  • i needed a new washing machine but money was tight, so i ordered one from very on buy now pay in 12 months. the cost of the washing machine was £179 but with the credit price added on i would of paid £289 if i had not paid it off before the 12 months.

    also they wont let you do buy now pay later until your account has been up and running for a few months and that you make your payments on time
