Hiya,
I ordered some bits from bargainboards.co.uk earlier and followed the speel to get the discount and got this reply a bit ago (which surprised me for gone 8pm on a Sunday night):
Quote:
Thankyou for placing your order.
For us to be able to process your discount/refund, please could you send me a scanned copy of your current SCUK membership card.
You can do this using this messaging system, selecting 'Clubs & Associations' as the subject and attaching the file.
Thankyou for your co-operation and sorry for the hassle.
Fair enough, it's a bit of a pain in the arse but, at least they were polite and discount is discount. Figured I'd post it up so the discount page can be updated and people aware.
Ta

Also it would appear that "sale items" actually means anything that's showing any sort of a saving on the site...so pretty much everything.
Ah well. |

bargainboards.co.uk is a stock clearence website that sells all the old stock of http://www.absolute-snow.co.uk/, I assume that's why everything is technically on sale.
I'm sure they'd probably still apply the discount at the other website though because it's the same company

I'll update the discount section, it may become more common for companies to ask to see evidence of a SCUK card, don't want the discount being abused now do we! I know its a pain, but as you said discount is discount!
Bargain Boards are a stock clearance site and yes you do get the discount at absolute snow as well. I was aware that the chances of receiving the discount on Bargain boards was slim but there are still some items not discounted so thought it was worth trying to pass on some discount!
Cheers |

| Not complaining - ok maybe a little lol - just wanted to make people aware, because they won't find out until after they've paid. The card thing is no biggy, I've got it scanned now. |

Totally valid point, unfortunate that the discount is redeemed after so you don't actually find out till after you've paid! I've made the text about discount only being available on non sale items bold so its a bit clearer, hopefully this will help.
Cheers. |

Take a picture of it, I'm sure that would be enough for them.
I had to do booking a maverix course once. |

| How long did it take to get your refund of the SCUK discount? |

We're going to to make a system where partners can check you're a member as part of SCUK2. Perhaps not straight away, but it will be something like if you give them your membership number, we'll show them your initials, plus the second part of your postcode for verification.
So for me, they'd enter member number "1" and it would reply with "DW/8DD". That would allow them to see they're shipping to person and the address you're registered with, without providing them with any real personal/useful data they could use for anything else.
Yes, I'm making this up as I go along! |

And a year later I've just ordered from Absolute Snow and not in a sale...but the Impact Shorts aren't being sold at RRP so they don't qualify for discount.
This sucks, it would probably be quicker and easier for AS/BB to list all the things, if any, that do qualify for SCUK discount as people could be expecting to save 10% and factor it in to the price, pay and then find out afterwards that the price they see is the price they have to pay.
I was looking at a NS Proto CT on there, but I'll look elsewhere now as I don't want to take the risk of having to pay an extra £52 I could have saved by purchasing it somewhere else with a usable and straightforward discount, which shows the price I'll be paying before purchase.
And yes this time I am complaining. |

It's a bit annoying I"ll agree, but I've been into Bargain boards a couple of times in about a week and they've been really helpful and friendly. You can see which products on their site aren't being sold at RRP as they list the RRP price and then 'our price' underneath it. Others that are being sold at full price just have the one amount listed - like the NS Proto CT.
It is a very odd way of doing things tho as they have full price, 'our price' and sale prices as well, so you're never quite sure what you can and can't get a discount on. Don't really see why they can't use a similar online system to everyone else and just have a code to enter at checkout. |

Get it from Born Extreme instead. Great store, great people, always on this forum offering totally impartial advice, and to top it off they give us 15% discount and its free shipping.
http://www.bornextreme.co.uk/products/N ... 9-262.html
Was my first port of call mate, but he's totally sold out of the size I want. He is however letting me take the demo he's got in for a spin.
CJ, don't get me wrong they're always friendly and their turn around for shipping stuff is rapid. But I just feel that the whole discount thing is a waste of time. The vast majority of the time nothing most of us buy, especially online, is actually sold at RRP. That's business. Just like offering a discount is a great form of, cheap, advertising as it brings in additional business that may have gone else where otherwise. |
