Empire stores

I received an email containing a discount code and buy now pay later offer.
Admittedly I didn't fully read the T& C's properly :naughty: (my bad) which stated that clover leaf and sale items were excluded from the offer and placed an order for a Nintendo Wii, game an accessories.
I looked in the help section and this is what it says about cloverleaf items:
What is a Cloverleaf product?

On occasions we are able to make available to you special discounts and offers on various products in our range. As we go to great lengths to bring you the best possible prices however we are unable to make these offers on our most competitively priced items. These items are identified online and in our Catalogues with the special Cloverleaf symbol. These items are usually excluded from such discounts and offers. Please also refer to the specific terms and conditions on each promotional offer.
When I received my order confirmation, the 25% discount had only been applied to the game.
I dug out my catalogue and looked up the console and remote and they had the clover symbol next to them.
So i went back to the website and looked at the description of the Wii + the remote and nowhere does it mention that they are cloverleaf items.:(
Bit gutted as I thought I was getting a really good deal(note to self, read T&C's properly next time!) but at the same time, a little miffed, as nowhere on the website, does it say the items are cloverleaf.

Hey ho, such is:p
Whinge over!

    I noticed the other day that they had changed how the cloverleaf is displayed - it won't show until you pick an option (size/colour etc) - I suppose in the hope that you don't notice it until the order has gone through (as happened to you).

    Most cloverleafs are on electrical items, so I generally use a freebie or pay later code instead if that's what I need to order.
