Store card question - can you help?

Hi all

We are wondering if anyone has spotted a store card that gives a refund of the price difference if you buy something now and it becomes cheaper in the next x number of days.

This could be particularly useful for Christmas presents that are cheaper in the January sales, but effectively could work all year round.

Thanks in advance for any leads you can give :)

    I think the Laura Ashley card does this, not sure as I haven't used mine for ages. I only got it to order some furniture and get the points/money back so I haven't looked a bill for ages.

    there is a charge for the luxury of that service.
  • Most store cards offer this service but as emma396 says there is usually a charge for it. For creation cards issued by Evans (and other Arcadia stores) it was 1 penny in every pound of the outstanding balance on the card when I worked there (though this was over 4 yrs ago!)

    It's the same as PPI and when you claimed the difference back there was an admin cost of £5 per item! not really worth it I'm afraid.

    I think the New Look card might have offered this for free at some point but unsure as to what it is now - sorry
