Membership / discount cards.

[Minisorella]

Discounts are always very very welcome - great idea I too love to trawl the interwebby for bargains and always put in the research time. However, it's always good to know that a club membership gives me a little more purchasing power on the high street. After all, we still love to window shop in the real world too, especially when bimbling around new places that we're visiting in our motorhome Many thanks for all your efforts on our behalf

Well I've voted "Yes" because if a discount card was available, I'd be happy to use it! Suggested outlets would be as previous comments on here, basically anywhere that retails motorhome, camping or outdoor products etc., especially the regular consumable items. I fully appreciate the extra trouble and effort this would mean for Phil, so I wouldn't be too upset if he decided not to go ahead with the idea. I think we should also try to negotiate a discount for Northerners retail outlets, as he makes it sound more of a challenge! (Only pulling your leg Northerner!).

Phil'

great minds think alike.

I've been negotiating with a local company for such discounts.

Got free postage and extras thrown in.

Please call or mail me so that we can get organised.

They specified only full members to get discount.

How about Maplin? Useful for electrical bits n' bobs. They're already a good bit cheaper than "specialist" Motorhome shops for stuff like micrswitches, bulbs, fuses etc. but a discount would be even better!!
Possibly even the dreaded Halfords and Screwfux - good ranges of products but a bit overpriced.

Gas-It in Caernarfon are giving free P&P and European adapters if you purchase a refillable bottle/tank

Probably already mentioned, but how about ferries and eurotunnel, any motorhome spares accesory retailers or other leisure activities.

I bought a battery from Alpha Batteries last year, and they sent me a £5 off voucher for my next purchase.

Perhaps they, or another battery supplier e.g Tayna, might do the same for a discount card holder.

We all buy batteries - for our 'vans and our cars - and it would be a great help if we could get a significant discount in the future.

I always %99 of the time successfully find and buy off the best priced seller so a further discount is simply a dream.Discount cards usually just lead to you buying from a high price seller who'll easily knock a bit off.
So IMHO not worth swapping for a bit of skill with google

I am just finalising the designs for the cards. They will be membership and discount cards.
The discounts will build up as time goes.

I am setting up a support ticket system and when that is done and the stickers arrive, members will be able to request a card if they are a full member.

So leading on from another thread, is there a forum discount with gasit? or is it a secret mason's code :rolleyes2:

I'm considering a second 6kg bottle with hose T and propane to butane adapter but must arrive Wednesday latest. A discount would swing it lol

Hi Phil.
I work for a large group of independant Builders Merchants and I am sure I can sort it out for them to accept WC discount cards against building and gardening goods..........Jeff

That sounds great!
But when I go to Builders' Merchants I expect to get stuff at Trade anyway (even if I have to argue about it lol), and since our local one got taken over by Buildbase there seems to be a lot less leeway for different prices and I'm told almost everyone gets "Trade" so would that actually be of any benefit?

Would love a discount from B & Q though (as someone above said, they are far from the cheapest for everything, but are used frequently for some things in the trade as they do have very good offers on at times), and for Screwfix and Toolstation.
What about discount on m'ship of those dreaded clubs with the C's in their names for those who want to join them? And of course any discount on insurance would be welcome.
