Have you ever been offered a big discount from a shop, supermarket or service company simply because you didn't complete your order, or you haven't used them in a while?
We want to compile which firms do this (and what type of discounts are on offer), so people can tactically shop.

I've abandoned many baskets before, too many to count across many sites and have never been offered a discount. I have successfully managed to create my own picks on what is then advertised at me on every other web page though, just to reign it in to me that I cannot afford the things I want.0

Emma Bridgewater usually gives free postage after a day or two0

I've been offered a discount by W H Smith and also regularly by Stitch Craft Create (formerly RU Craft). In both of these cases, you need to have an online account set up, log in, add some items to your basket then abandon it.
WHSmith only seem to do it once in a while, but worth a try. I think they sent me a discount for 5% off.
Stitch Craft Create always seem to send a 10% discount code.0 -
I bought a Hello Fresh box about a month ago. Last week they offered me £15 off a box - which I didn't take - this week they offered one half price. That's despite me getting £25 off the first one...
Graze also used to give a half price box every couple of months even though I always cancelled straight after. I had 5 or 6 half price before they got wise to it.0 -

We've been looking at a cruise with Princess Cruises the past few days, went through all the stages to find out exact price, entered our details and everything, then left it.
Today OH got an email with £150 offExcuse any mis-spelt replies, there's probably a cat sat on the keyboard0 -
I recently abandoned an order at happykombucha.co.uk and received an email the next day with a 5% discount code. I still didn't order, but I plan to 'abandon' another order soon, so I can order with the 5% off0
