Here's How I got A Garmin I3 for £189.99!

First post this. Been looking for a Garmin I3 personal navigator, but most retailers have been out of stock - esp Maplins!! Went on to Dixons website - the are advertised for £199.00. Filled in the form for reserve and collect from a local store then added a promotional code (available from this website.) The end price gets reduced to £189.99 - just printed this web page off and took it to my local store where the manager had no hesitation in selling it to me for the lower 'web price'
Great bit of kit too!!

    whereabouts is the form to collect in store? is it onthe currys website too?? I know PC world offer this
  • Hi there. You select your item, add to basket, enter promo code, then update = revised price.

    Would feel sure that currys would offer the same deal - try it.

    use your egg card at currys and it will cost you £170
  • Sorry, I understand what you mean now. You just bring up the revised price, then print off the whole page and take it to your local store.
    There's no 'official form'
  • only wich I had an egg card too!!
  • yes but is it any good when compared to the tomtom go? Someone said it was too small for the car to be of any use.

  • yes, its had many favourable comments, compared to TT go - some users have had the two units runnning simultaneously (Don't know quite why!!!)
    There's quite a lot of info on this site
