I had found the iPad I wanted on Curry’s site & put it in basket last night. Unable to complete until this morning & found the price had gone up £50. Contacted customer service who just said that’s how it goes - tough.
Just to warn others this happens. The ‘deal’ was very short term but no indication of this given on the website that I could see.

The "put it in the basket and wait and see what happens" principle is one that is often used for money-saving. In some cases it results in an email being sent with a discount code, so it can very much work both ways.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
