B & Q Diamond Card not as good as I'd thought

I was under the impression that using this card on a Wednesday entitled me to 10% on B & Q prices.

Not across the board and this has never been the case. You can't buy a Kitchen or gift vouchers for example.

You should read the terms and conditions available either from their website or in-store.

I don't bother with them anymore, needed some paint for an immediate job and it wasn't Wednesday, checked price of paint at our other DIY shed and it was cheaper even if I took into account the 10% discount!

You can get many things they sell a lot cheaper at there own Screwfix or alternatively Toolstation which I prefer as its closer to me. B&Q are a rip off for many things, only exception is some of there garden annuals packs which are good value. We dont have any other diy shed near me but paint can be sourced cheaper else where locally to me

All the above is now somewhat academic .... they've given notice that the 10 % discount is no longer from 3rd September (except for gardening relatedpurchases).


I always thought it was quite generous for us oldies ... a 10% discount throughout the store could be quite good - provided the item wasn't vastly overpriced in the first place ... and it applied to online purchases too - but not any more.

As the previous poster said this is now ending on 3rd September and limited to garden products only , as apparently B&Q know how important gardening is to there DIamond card customers lol

But being B&Q it usually was overpriced in the first place

Well, yes, it was ... so are you saying I need not, or even should not have bothered to contribute then?
