    A WORD OF WARNING!!

    Before sending this 20% discount out, they overnight hiked up all the prices, so you aren't really getting a bargain!

    For example, yesterday I bought this item off play.com for £3.99 http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/17285964/-/Product.html - today the price has been hiked right up to £8.49 with a 20% discount code to get 20% off - but at 20% off £8.49 thats £6.79 - which is £2.80 MORE EXPENSIVE than it was yesterday.

    Make sure you check Google Shopping to see if you really are getting a bargain, because from all the items I've checked so far - there is no bargain to be had (even with the 20% code)

    VERY SNEAKY!! :mad:

    :money:


    Well, not true for it all, the jammies I just got for £11.24 were not raised to accommodate the 25% discount I just got, I've been looking at them for weeks! So I don't think this applies to everything.

  • Thanks guys I didn't realise it was only stocking fillers or that they'd bumped the prices up. Is that even legal?
