Never got a discount but I now abandon Amazon baskets where they can't go to a drop off point and last night walked away from a Tesco basket because near the end I was informed it wasn't click & collect

I'm no longer prepared to sit in for deliveries and would rather pay a little more and collect in person

I abandoned an order with The Pet Warehouse last week and got offered free express next day delivery worth £4.95. (thepetwarehouse.co.uk)

I went to book parking at Manchester airport last night using your links to get a discount. Sky Parks were slightly cheaper than Holiday Extras but when I went to book they charged an admin fee which made HE cheaper so booked with them instead. When I looked at my email inbox Sky Parks had sent me a 5% discount code last night to complete the booking, this morning they sent me a 10% one. Unfortunately I've already booked it with HE!!

I visited the Book Depository website, which I haven't done in a while and then a couple of days later I got a 10% discount code.

About 2 years ago, I managed to get a 15% discount email on a Stenaline ferry to The Netherlands after abandoning the purchase.

Booking airport parking through the Gatwick Airport site, if you start to abandon the booking by going back you will quite often be prompted by a 'don't go' message offering you an immediate 10% discount if you book there and then. Only seems to work for Gatwick's own on-airport parks. There are better deals out there at off-site locations though.

Virgin wines. Without fail, I add a load of wines to by basket and leave without buying. A week later, I get a mail for £10 off 12 bottles.

Eurocarparts do this, usually an extra 5% off parts.
