B&Q Over 60's 10% Discount Card - changes

Bogof_Babe

We discovered today, after buying several trays of bedding plants on a "4 for £10" (or £3 each) offer, that the Diamond Card Wednesdays 10% discount no longer applies on already discounted offers and multibuys.

Thought I'd put it here so that you're all aware before you go to B&Q specifically for the 10% discount. Had we known, we could probably have bought our plants cheaper in Aldi.

That's worth knowing! Bit like the Boots change from a 10% discount to extra points.

We have discovered a cheaper place called Charlie's .. It's not national but there are a few branches in the North West.

So you're going to keep it to yourself.

The Diamond Card discount does not include kitchen, bathroom or bedroom purchases including associated accessories, installations, household appliances, carrier bags and Gift Cards. The discount applies to the store price prior to any further adjustment that may be required to meet our price promise.

However, last time we bought paint (Novemberish) on a 342 offer we received the 10% discount

Yes, before I made that post but I didn't think a barber's shop was what was being mentioned.

Oops, sorry! More Welsh with Shrewsbury, too. Newtown, Queensferry, Welshpool and Carmarthen.

I found them googling Charlie's Stores.


Any good to you?

None in the north west then.
You can't beat wandering around a store looking at things.

I prefer the "T & W general store" known as the chinaman. It's great, stuffed full of stuff at very good prices or maybe Snape's who are stuffed nearly as full. Can't find a website for either of them.

I tried to but 2 bags of compost today normally £5.98 a bag but offer was 2 for £10 they wouldn't give me the 10% off. I queried it with a manager and she said the TS and Cs haven't changed they have always been as shown i the post above. They have just started enforcing the other discounts bit.

I left the compost on the counter cut up my diamond card and told them I wouldn't be back.

About five or do years ago B&Q locally would give us the 10% on any day.

Ah, well!

So £11.96 minus 10% would have been £10.76 but you(along with everyone else) could get it for £10 instead. You cut up your card for this? It's a strange world we live in.
