Sat Nav For Approx. £6

stphnstevey

When I first went in with voucher I asked if I could get the price of the TV off another more expensive TV and pay the difference. No chance was the answer.

So waited a couple of weeks and said it was faulty. She said they have to send them off for repair, so I asked if I could just have vouchers instead. After consulting with manager, she gave me vouchers.

So got what I wanted in the end

Quentin

Sounds like you did it by deliberate deception though.

To be fair, anyone who has 'gone' for this deal could also be accused of deliberate deception (have you gone for this, Quentin? I certainly have!), so it's probably a moot point........

Quentin

How can you call it "fair" to call everyone who has responded to this deal guilty of deliberate deception?

That amounts to a libel!

2 questions:

Have you gone for it?

Do you plan to carry on with the instalments when your voucher arrives?

If your answer to the second question is YES, please accept my apologies. If your answer is no, be my guest and sue me. :rolleyes:

Quentin

You seem to see some similarity between the moneysavers taking up this offer, and adhering to its ts + cs, and the one poster who deliberately deceived Argos by lying to them.

No wonder you are such a defender of the utility warehouse whenever they are being criticised!

Crikey, man, you are obsessed with that company! :eek: What a load of old nonsense you speak as well. You (and I) have signed up to a death/assurance plan with the specific intention of paying at most 1 instalment and coming out of it with an item worth much more than £6. You are then going to cancel the plan. Right so far? The expected intention of anyone taking up this plan is to see it through to death and hence a payout. Of course, circs can change but anyone who takes out this plan with the express intention of paying a total of £6 and getting something back worth £120 is guilty of deception - of course there are varying degrees/seriousness of deception, but PLEASE don't try and in some way make out you are doing this because you are a moneysaver :rolleyes: You are a grubby 'system player' like the rest of us. I don't have a problem admitting this. TBH, I was REALLY surrprised to see you involved in this thread (especially in a supportive role) after witnesssing your moral crusade in UW threads. You are a very surprising individual. Hypocritical as well...:rolleyes:

Quentin

Your post is unnecessarily abusive - calling everyone taking out this insurance grubby, and accusing me of being a hypocrite and talking nonsense is bound to cause offence.

I have no "supportive role" in this matter.

The insurance company do have conditions attached to the free gift, which everyone here is adhering to in the true spirit of this Board.

There is no deception involved whatsoever in taking this offer out, and abiding with the ts + cs.

I think all statements were spured by your first comment Quentin, aimed at me.

People can't understand how you can be so hypocritical - we BOTH have played the system (which is part of the ethos of MoneySavingExpert.com - how to rob a bank legally). A system that 'plays' us everyday, often to our loss. There have been no real losers here except huge international corporations where our actions wouldn't even register as a smallest 'blip' on their billion pounds of profit.

You haven't even asked if the TV really was faulty before making your quite abusive allegations?

Don't start saying other people's comments are abusive, without looking at your own - that started the whole thing.

TBH there is no need to wait weeks. I took my LCD's back the same day and one after a few days, I told them straight up that the picture quality was not up to much. Compared to my 20 year old 14" Toshiba CRT, the picture was not what I expected. The colours were washed out and this is what I told Argos.
