Homebase online discounts

Just wondered whether there are any codes I could use online for a percentage or something?

Thanks in advance for your help!:beer:

    They don't do codes. It is 10% day a week on friday and that usually applies online.
  • Fab, thanks Katie! Just for the record, how did you know that?
  • Hi There,

    We are looking to replace all our living/dining room furniture. We have seen the furniture we like in Homebase and i was wondering if anyone knew of any discount vouchers which can be used online (or if they are likely to be having a sale soon)

    Many Thanks

    Advertised on Homebase's webiste was oak dining table and 4 chairs £130 instead of £300, I wanted walnut but Homebase aren't selling off their walnut tables yet! Gutted! really thought I was in for a bargain! So now looking for any discount codes to get the walnut table I want for a similar price as the oak table!

    Thanks!
  • Hi, i dont have any codes but know a way you can get 30% off....go on one of their 10% days and ask to speak to the manager ....ask to open a credit card with homebase on the day they are doing 10% off also. You get 20% off usually for opening up a credit card so they should give you 30% in total (this is what i got last weekend)......dont forget to use your spend and save card also for the points when paying...here is the clever bit ....the homebase credit card wont be with you for a week and therefore you cant pay on it but they will still give you the discount on what you buy that day so pay by cash or debit card in the usual way....when the credit card arrives ring up and cancel it or just cut it up and dont spend on it.....you get your items at 30% off and improve your credit rating slightly and homebase lose out on 30% !!! that any good to you??
  • I ordered a dining table and 6 chairs from Homebase (which is in fact Argos) on the 4th January. I paid online the full amount £300 and it stated the item was in stock and it was a 4 week delivery. 31st January I received a letter stating there was a delay and the items would not be ready for despatch until 27th February.

    Today I have rang Homebase Argos, and was told the item will no longer be delivered to us because the supplier of the dining set cannot do it at the reduced price therefore they won't make any money.

    I would imagine there has been hundreds of people who purchased this online offer for a walnut and glass table with 6 chairs for £300. So Homebase and Argos have made alot of money just on the interest.

    Can I also add, it was me who rang them to find out what was happening because I had not heard anything since 31st January. I wonder how long it would have taken Homebase Argos to notify me of the bad news. No doubt they would never have called or wrote to me because the longer they have got your money the longer they make interest.

    I have spoken to a Manager and stated that I want interest on the £300 they have had since 4th January plus recompense for the inconvenience, we gave our last dining set to friends in anticipation of our new dining set.
