    Has this discount ended?

    Can’t seem to get on to the Wiggle shop on Britishcycling.org.uk…

    I also reached a page with the following message:

    “We will shortly be introducing a fantastic new offer for members with a leading online retailer. It will take us a couple of weeks to make this available online – it should be up and running by December.

    Keep an eye on Member News and our Facebook page for more information. It will be worth the wait!”

    How did I not know that Wiggle was on Quidco? Only 3% though but it adds up. Quidco is ace.

    No, not really. Adverts aside (think i’ve seen two or three period, can’t remember the last time I saw one), their prices seem generally higher than others for some things, less then others for other things and they also have a well priced and pretty well respected in-house brand of clothing.

    Pretty much a mixed bag – sounds like that for what you want they don’t make financial sense, fair enough, but mind if I ask what types of item you’re looking for ?

    How does Quidco work?

    That Wiggle discount was a joke anyway, only being valid for 12% off RRP when most things on there are routinely discounted 20% of “RRP” or more. If you do get the odd chance to use it, even with the 12% discount, it’s almost always cheaper to buy elsewhere. I’ve been a member for 3 years and used it once.

    Hopefully their new partnership is more worthwhile.

    Agreed. RRP is a joke, and extremely likely that at 12% off RRP you’ll find the item cheaper elsewhere.

    I wonder if they are launching their own store to keep the money in-house?

    I was hoping to use discount recently but it no longer seems to be available though BC didn’t bother telling members.

    The Halfords 10% discount is very handy, as they now stock a surprising amount of top end gear.

    Agreed, never used the discount. It’s just their platinum rate, which I seem to have anyway despite not actually spending £500 with them.

    Whereas the Halfords 10% has saved me well over £100 so far.
