Why would they do that ? They do the sale every year and you can always check Amazon to see what’s the best price available 🤷‍♂️

buyer beware etc

slimshady007

Do they add the discounts up like they did before? So if you spend €200 will you get €24 off or just €12 regardless of how much you spend over €100?

bailey99

no, it's 12 off 100 euro or more spend. Spend 101 euro get 12 euro off. Spend 1000 euro get 12 euro off.

OmegaGene

nothing to stop you popping in a few times and even bring a friend

Someone compare something they were thinking of buying and see how it stacks up.

Nothing I bought had increased in price.

I'll be honest for what I buy in Smyths (mostly Pokemon, Minecraft and Lego*) their prices are generally the cheapest of all "brick and mortar" stores.....I avoid Amazon.

*Sometimes Lego might be cheaper in Argos or Easons depending if a promotion was on.

Well that could explain why my card got declined 😂....at least I hope that explains why the transaction was declined.

Did you try to do two transactions ?

Princess Calla

Yeah 😂 I hadn't read the t&c's cos ya know!

I didn’t think it would be that strict to block you, maybe create another account with smyths or checkout as a guest

Princess Calla

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121215220#Comment_121215220

I'll try again tmw it might be a 24 hr thing.... checking out as a guest could also be a winner.

I'll be near a Smyth's on Friday so if all else fails I'll go in there.

Would a Nintendo Switch be excluded?

Yes I read them but I'm not a gamer so I don't know if it's considered a console

Breezy_

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121215608#Comment_121215608

Run it through to the checkout. I'd imagine it's a console though.

OmegaGene

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121215608#Comment_121215608

a console would be something you play games on 🤔

Lego millennium falcon is cheaper on Amazon currently

Lots of things will be cheaper on Amazon it’s up to the bargain hunters to get the best prices 👍🏻

Works to prebook the below SSD which is suitable (and branded) for PS5.

Similar SSD from Amazon is roughly ~€90 but some may prefer to buy this version.

It says:

So no sadly. Still give it a bash in case there is a mistake but otherwise no.

It does work against video game accessories, so useful for controllers etc!

They did on at least one item I was looking at. Got the catalogue last week and it's listed there at 34.99. Kid put it on their Xmas list. Then got some money gifted to them at the weekend and decided to buy this item now with the money, I went to order it online and it's now 39.99.

...Ghost...

*Excludes large bulky items....

That's a bit vague. What I consider a large bulky item, they might not and vice versa.. No approximate dimensions mentioned. A game of monopoly would be large and bulky by someone's standards!

It's like legislation. Keep it vague. Then you pay thousands to solicitor for a judge to pull a turd out of his arse and that's the law going forward.

I suppose a bit of common sense. If the average person can lift it easily bring it to the till and home on public transport it's not a bulky item.

If you need to octopus wrestle it into a trolley, then wrestle again into the boot of a car, it's a bulky item.

It's very easy to find out....the discount applies automatically once it goes into the basket and is over 50 quid.

Princess Calla

Very (Littlewoods) have a promotion on toys and electrical stuff ....finishes tonight. If like me you've used this promotion already.

I bought stuff from them September 30th. None of the (9) items I bought increased/decreased in price.

Will be holding out next year for their €6/€12 off offer.
