Currys - buy now pay later?

Hi guys,

Just curious if anyone has had anything to do with Curry's buy now pay later?
It seemed to imply if you paid the full amount within the six month window then you would have to pay 0% interest, but i'm not sure if this is on the initial price of the product in question, or if the price increases when you choose this option at checkout as there are a lot of numbers there confusing me!

Anyone been through it and happy to offer some advice?

Thanks!

Yes, I did it a few months ago when there was a £50 Curry's gift voucher for doing it. It was done in the store though, not on line. The amount involved was the price of the goods as shown in store plus extras such as disposal of old goods and fitting of new. They just set up an account and I paid it off in full a few days later. It's all straightforward, you must have to remember to pay it off by a certain date.

Oh ok, i see! I am confiused as on the website it seems to say you will be paying extra as soon as you choose the 'buy now pay later' option as opposed to the initial amount.

Looking at their website, there appears to be at least 2 different options. You need to look for 'buy now, pay nothing for 6 months' (or sometimes 12 months), this is the deal where you pay no extra as long as you pay it off within that time. Buy now, pay later isn't the same, in fact it looks like you pay interest on this, though the information seems a bit hazy.
