Perfect, thanks very much, just waiting for my Toyota card to arrive, can't find any codes for Halfords tecnology

Item shop cost is £349
To pay in shop after Toyota discount -15%= £296.65
You will load this amount to prepaid card -10% = £266.99
3% quidco should track at £10.47
Final item cost (assuming you already have Toyota card) = £256.52
Or 26.5% discount which is not bad result. Mind you additional saving can be made if you find working discount code for online shop when you make c&c

I know most posts are cycle related, but can i get some advice on how to maximise discount using Toyota Owners club and employee discount please?

Here are my details:
Stereo £349 able to C&C
I have quidco account
My employer has reloadable pre payment cards with 10% discount
Toyota Premium member

Ta

Works for all items including sale

Title says any purchase

Can you buy stereos with this, or is it just for bike stuff?

Mods, please unexpire this thread as method still works.

This was commented before few times. You can't get any discount on any sort of gift vouchers in the store using BC card but you can pay for your order with gift vouchers you already have after getting price reduction using BC card

That's good if others have done it. I didn't know if the terms have changed as the thread started a while ago.

You can with gift cards with BC.

Just read the BC terms again. It's got a separate condition about can't buy gift cards with the discount.

"10% off is valid on any purchase, excludes gift vouchers and Halfords Autocentres."

So I think the other term does mean you can't get 10% off and pay with gift cards/ vouchers.

"May not be used in conjunction with any other voucher."

Thanks for replying.

I hope you're right but I'm reading these terms as meaning you can't get the 10% discount if you want to use with gift cards or Cycle2Work vouchers.

That's just buying vouchers

Have the terms changed recently? Or does it depend on the Halfords staff you deal with?

The Toyota Club terms says "Cannot be used in conjunction with Halfords gift vouchers, gift cards or Halfords Cycle2Work scheme.".

And the BC terms says "May not be used in conjunction with any other voucher".

I've looking at the Boardman Hybrid Team and don't want to be lumbered with £630 of vouchers!

is this still working?

Order zeek vouchers through TCB. Order in multiples of £20 as you get £3.15 cash back with every order

hello guys
I'm just hoping to find out if anyone knows about the gift vouchers and what discount you get when buying them is it still 7%/10% ? and do you have to phone them

thanks geoff

These are standard paper halfords gift vouchers and will work with BC discount.

Has anyone tried the zeek vouchers with this offer?

Are they paper vouchers?

How did people find the pro?

Logged on to do the same and halfords site is down.

​Well that's a wounder. Was hoping to use these discounts again like I did a few years ago when i also bought a Boardman hybrid pro. Not so good now but 7% is still better than nothing. Thanks for the info.

You can't buy the vouchers from the halfordsbusinessservices site now, you have to ring. Also the discount has been reduced to 7%.
I queried why the website was down and received this response:

Thank you for contacting Halfords Business Services and for your interest in our products

Halfords Gift Vouchers are being used all over the UK as rewards and incentives for staff, customers and sales teams. Halfords Gift Vouchers can be redeemed in any one of our 400 stores across the UK against any product.

One of our team will contact shortly to discuss your requirements further, but if in the meantime you would like to see our product range please click here

Shame, I used this same fantastic deal 2 years ago to get a great price on a Boardman Hybrid Pro. The BC cycling discount came in really handy afterwards for lots of things from Halfords like sat-navs, Garmins etc and more than paid for itself.

My employer had a way of getting the discounted gift cards, but it's been closed now and we get a 10% off voucher that can't be used with any other scheme

As I suspected, voucher processor site is undergoing site maintenance, should be back soon.
halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk/

Thanks, appreciate it!

I will check. Gift voucher service was run by third party provider, maybe there was a change.

Have they taken away the ability to buy the gift vouchers online? Link in original post seems dead. Google search takes me here which only has phone option - halfordsb2b.co.uk/vou…asp

If this is the case, has anyone tried calling with any success? Thanks

Any 10% codes atm?

You could just buy it directly from boardman? Sometimes they are cheaper there. For example, the Team FS is £20 cheaper than Halfords.

If it's been removed from their website then there's nothing much you can do. Sometimes the store will still carry old stock mind. It may be worth checking in store if you want to buy from halfords?

Here's the link to buy from boardman.
boardmanbikes.com/gb_…tml

Has anyone picked up a Boardman MTB Pro FS recently, i web chatted the halfords site as its not listed and they told me this;

Declan: I can confirm these are now obsolete and fully sold out at our company i'm afraid.
Me: but they are still listed on the boardman website?
Declan: I understand, we have stopped selling these at our retail shops, we have 0 stock hence it being removed from our website i'm afraid.
Me: will they be replaced by a new model?
Declan: I am afraid I do not have that information.

Picked up the bike yesterday and the staff were very helpful. I know Halfords seems to get a bad rep with their CS, but they have been great for me.

That said, I've yet to ride the bike, and the know you what may hit the fan if things aren't set up correctly.

Bike looks amazing though so I'm pleased from that perspective haha.

Nice one, thanks for posting your experience - wish I knew someone who would let me use their card :grin:

Good news and that the sales assistant was fine accepting my friends membership. I made up a slight lie saying he was my housemate and would share the bike, but he said as long as the card was valid he just scans a barcode, he was happy accepting it.

I'm not sure he'll be able to go to the store with me unfortunately as he doesn't live anywhere near the store. Hopefully I will get away with it.

I will just say it's my flat mate's card and we will share the bike. Hopefully they will accept it.

Just go to the store with that person, they show their card and you pay - no one is going to question that.
Discounted gift cards still valid, as OP I check this from time to time and update.

halfords denied by quidco baswards!!! after i reserved a bike online, and paid in store on pickup!

and i got a lame email from quidco

Unfortunately, on this occasion your claim has been declined because the cashback from your sale will not be paid to us by the retailer. In order to pay us, they have to recognise us as having been the party who referred the sale to them, and in this case they do not. To explain, cashback is actually a referral commission that we receive from the retailer, for referring you to them and making a purchase. Instead of keeping it we pass it on to you, however we do have to receive it from the retailer in order to pass this on.

Yay, I managed to find someone at work with the BC membership. Question is, how likely are they to check the name and member, or is it a case of just flashing the card and getting 10% off?

Thanks for the reply Crossbow.

Are the discounted halfords vouchers still valid? Which is the best site to get them?

I may try and find someone at work with the BC membership. Fingers crossed I can find someone.

Thanks again.

No, only BC or Toyota can be used.

Only way to know for sure & quickly (as very few frequent this thread) is to register at the voucher site & check the codes yourself before purchasing.

Quidco could be ok, but may be declined for the reason in bold text:
"3% for all sales, including Reserve & Collect"
"Cashback will not be paid in conjunction with any other offer, voucher or discount code unless listed on this page, or with any other discounts [could include BC/Toyota] such as staff or student discounts".

Calculations...
£519.20 -£51.92 (BC/Toyota 10% off) = £467.28
£467.28 -£46.73 (vouchers 10% off) = £420.55

Toyota membership: +£15.95
BC membership: +£18.90 (DD cost)

Note about Toyota membership 10% off bikes may not work any more: "Cannot be used in conjunction with Halfords gift vouchers, gift cards or Halfords Cycle2Work scheme", so take the BC membership instead if not sure. On the other hand, you will be producing the Toyota card first, & only then the gift vouchers, so who's going to know or realise?

Quidco (slim chance / not guaranteed): 3% of the amount paid (£420.55) excl VAT. In other words, 3% of 350.46 = £10.51 cashback



So, taking all things into consideration, the minimum you'll need to pay is: £420.55 +£15.95 -£10.51 = £425.99

Or, the most you could get off is: £519.20 -£425.99 = £93.21

I'm after this boardman bike.

halfords.com/cyc…7-5

Since some of things are really old in this thread, can anyone kind person out there work out what's the most I could currently get off? It's currently £519.20.

Can BC membership and Toyota owners membership be used together? Are the voucher discounts still applicable? I'm aware of quidco too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well then no need for this, to be honest I just got it from gumtree - paid a few quid for a service.

I'm no serious cyclist to have a membership!

I am after the subway which is 180 or so, suppose there isn't any point in any of these memberships for me, given they'd cost more or less what the 10% discount would work to be? Or am I missing something?

Cheers

Really? If you buy a £1000 bike you will get a £100 discount using the membership scheme which costs around £15.

When you buy £1000 bike you have a different view plus BC membership has value for any half-serious cyclist...

so you have to pay to get a discount!? COLD

Does anyone know if the Toyota Owners Club discount card expires?

Ha, wish I'd subbed to this thread, would've found that sooner. As it is, I found it on the 1st August elsewhere on the site, just after it expired...think I'll wait till bank holiday weekend and take the plunge whatever happens.

No, not really.
Halfords are currently running 20% off bikes promo so it is the only stacking you can have.

Looking at a 200-ish bike - so if I take out any of the membership its effectively the membership charges cancelling the 10% off - so no gain really atleast purely from a bike buy perspective purely unless there is any other voucher which just works without membership? I know of Zeek and Quidco - any more?

Thanks

​your using their voucher outlet which is intended for staff to use with codes or for bulk buys for retailers. the British cycling is verified in person with the card you get

I don't get it? Why I don't I just order the bike online and use the code, instead of vouchers?

​you apply the code in checkout/basket on the site

How do I get the 10% off vouchers? A £50 voucher is showing as £50 for me

Thanks OP!

Managed to get 35% off a Carrera Subway 2. (10% off during the Flash Sale, 10% off when buying the Halfords Vouchers, 10% off using the discount in the picture below and 5.5% Cashback.)

yeah was hopign so slap a code on too :wink:

Extra 10% off all adult & kids bikes till 5th june applied at basket

any halfords dicount codes doing the rounds atm? Looking to order a bike but cant find any

Are Toyota and BC memberships covered by the Distance Sales Act? If so it means you have 14 days to cancel/return a product or service for a full refund. Therefore could you take membership out, sort out your Halfords purchased within 14 days and then get a refund on the membership?

Thats the problem for me at the moment - price gets good then I need to add £15 on for the Toyota membership...

You can call BC and they will e-mail you temporary card. the print out is enough to obtain in-store discount.

I think the bc membership you get emailed a temp card code? Seem to remember that when I looked into it, does it say on the website?
The Halfords vouchers were next working day, think I ordered them Monday night, so they posted tuesday and got them Wednesday.
Yeah that looks good, it was what I did, don't know if there is anything further.

Just trying to get my head around the stacking. Can someone confirm if this is correct please?
Apply for BC membership (receive membership card?)
Buy required number of vouchers after calculated discounts for 10% less
Order item online via quidco to collect in store also using any discount code
Display BC membership card in store to receive discount.
Pay with halfords vouchers.
Any idea of timeframes for BC card and vouchers to arrive?
Thanks.

Ah, cheers for that, I'd just come to query that too. Didn't want to order £100s worth of voucher to find them turned down at the till!

ok, i thought they might've updated the terms and conditions on how new cards could be used, i didn't have time to read that many posts
Thanks for letting me know :smile:

I now have a reply from gift card company CS. I have tried it and confirm that all works fine :smile:

Good Afternoon,
Thank you for your email.
In order to purchase more than £300 you will need to keep adding the maximum to your basket, for example add 20 x £10 vouchers to your basket and then go back to the catalogue and add another 20 x £10 vouchers etc
Thank you
Kind Regards
Toni
Customer Care Specialist

Hi, Is there any way to order more that £300 worth of vouchers? I have discount code with my employer and can apply it OK but basket won't let me order any more that £300. Cheers

Look at the posts 258 and 266. Good examples of code stacking

Yes

Can the Zeek and Select vouchers be used together ??

Thanks for the reply. There is a 10% online sale off everything in Halfords, but now only realised this offer for ~23% is for in store only.

You mentioned that there are other offers that can stack on top of the OP information? I'm looking to buy a mountain bike so if you know of anything else that will attain more £££ off the tag price, it'd be greatly appreciated :smile:

The discounting method is still valid but only applies to the purchases in the store. You can't apply gift vouchers or BC/Toyota card discounts online. 22% saving is just an example, many people got bigger discounts with right offers stacking.

Hi. Finding this potential 22% discount off the tag price has convinced me to buy a bike through Halfords. However, is all the information given the equates to the 22% discount still usable as this was posted up 2 years and 8 months ago? Has anyone used this recently that can confirm it all still works or say whether some of the information isn't usable anymore??

Also, could someone explain the OP alittle clearer as it's not very well worded/a bit confusing. Which discounts work together with which and can they be used within store or are they only usuable online?

Thanks.

I have tried to order more than £300 and although I could change basket value to the desired quantity system didn't let me to proceed to checkout. Hmm, not good. All I can advise is to ring them and place an order over the phone, maybe they will let order more this way.

The Halfords business services page won't let you buy any more than £300 of vouchers (max 10 of each type). Would still work as £30 discount I guess.

I am getting a bike for myself and my son next week, i have ordered some vouchers from zeek with a £5 bonus credit i got through a referal code when signing up (£250 of vouchers for £222) no postage to pay on them either, although they do seem to take a bit longer to come than the halfords business services site and your limited to 5 vouchers per day. Unfortunately when i tried using the halfords business services site the payment page was having issues with its security, otherwise I would of used them for ease of use. Make sure you check for the padlock symbol in the address bar before proceeding.

Flash sales are regular thing with Halfords now. I would buy required gift voucher quantity and treat extra saving as a bonus if 10% weekendr comes along during next few weeks.

You can only pay with gift vouchers in store so that would be a minimum 10% discount. I don't know whether Toyota/BC discount would be applied on top. I suggest to drop at your local Halfords to find out.

Has anyone used this deal to get a none regular halfords bike. I keep reading about the fact they can get any bike, but its a bit of an unknown thing. Know of someone who got a lappiere from them sometime ago.

Very informative post, came here looking for the gift card code and found much more! :). Going to buy one of the new 2016 Boardman mtb's. Probably the £1000 hardtail so with all this should be a lot less. Does anyone or OP know when if halfords will do a 10% off weekend or bring back the £60 of £600? Thanks

Brilliant, yes MCOUNTHal09 works.

MCOUNTHal09, ELGHAL13, NRTSCHAL13 still work fine

Hello,
Is the code CAMHal12 still valid? I cant seem to get it to work. Are there any others that anyone knows of?
Thanks

NEW Alternatively you can buy some Halfords gift vouchers at Zeek (usually 8-10% discount) which can be handy for smaller purchases:
zeek.me/buy…rds

The gift voucher site is updated, my old log-in doesn't work but I just created new account and checked - all three codes work fine on Select site. You need to register with them first before applying discount code in the basket.

It seems you can't get the 10% off vouchers anymore

My employer now uses PerkBox which includes Halfords Gift Vouchers, worth checking if you have access.

C2W won't work together with BC discount, I think that was mentioned in comments.

Do you still get 10% off with a cycle to work voucher

I always said this is not your average discounted tesco value sausages deal where people go crazy for 25p saving. This is serious money saving :smile:
Cheers!

This deal is brilliant. Picked up my cx team from halfords today. Was down to £749.99 in store and got this and loads of accessories for about £790. The accessories took the price of my order up to roughly £970(including a 20% of all accessories deal) and all of the items were reserved online for pickup at the seafield store.
So, i had the initial 20% off all accessories, bc membership 10% discount and the 10% discounted vouchers. So glad i seen this post or i wouldve paid nearly 200 quid more. There was no difficulty using the BC discount on top off other discounts and same with no problem paying with vouchets(which i bought yesterday and they came this morning). Halfords also put new pedal, tyres, lights, mudguards and carriers which i bought onto the bike for pickup. Staff were really helpful and i dont usually do halfords

Bike after its maiden 15mile cycle

10% was for a discount on bikes at the time which has now expired
you could try o2 priorities which sometimes give 10% off

What 10% Halfords discount you referring about? Was it like a promo or something? like 02 or flashsale one?

I am about to take the dip using this thread to buy the industrial tool chest deal at £349.99.
tool chest link
As this is web exclusive, what is the best deal that can be had (ends Wednesday so I can't wait for a flash sale)?
I have lined up, cash back then use the vouchers which I shall order tomorrow. Anything else?
Thanks in advance for any comments

Another happy saver!

Got the Boardman Hybrid comp for £299.39 with an original price of £399

10% halfords discount
10% British cycling (including membership fee)
10% buying gift vouchers and using the code (Vouchers came the next day when order placed before 12pm)
3% Quidco money back by using click and collect

Thanks alot senukas great deal that just keeps giving

had no problems at all using click and collect in store so could use in conjunction with online vouchers and use click and collect and pay for it instore

Spoke to someone in store and said it would be fine

BC discount can't be applied when buying gift cards in store. This topic was covered in previous posts as people get confused over terms.
Enjoy :smile:

It says on the BC website discount cannot be used in conjunction with vouchers?
Is the 10% off still applicable on the halfords business site?

nice one!

£260 worth of vouchers ordered (placed on 7 September 2015 11:53:39 BST)
Hopefully they come tomorrow, going for the Carrera Crossfire 2 for a first bike in many years.

(thank you senukas!)

I'm afraid I can't wait that long lol, there's an offer on currently which finishes today.

Would you happen to know if that 02 Priority discount is only for the mountain bikes? As I am getting the Hybrid version.
Boardman Hybrid Comp Bike - As it stands factoring it all in I managed to get it down to £295 (another 10% from 02 sounds good though on top ;))

If you want to maximise your savings you could wait for national 10% in store discount day and buy then. Otherwise that would be it (unless you want to buy Boardman mountain bike - then you can use 10% off from O2 Priority app, just checked and discount is on top of all current in-store offers).
Enjoy :smile:

Hi Senukas!

Well when I was prompted to go to the payments page it didn't load and was blank. I thought maybe the order didn't go through and I'll re-try on a different browser this time, but having checked my account dashboard the order showed up there. I just rang them up now and was told that the payment didn't go through, and was advised to re-order and they'll cancel the previous one - so all good.

New order status showing as: Processed Payment. And everything loaded perfectly this time.

Nice job coming up with this thread. So I'm using the British Cycling membership card + TBC + vouchers, anything else that I missing out that could save me more? Appreciate the help.

Hello again, OP here :smile:
If you had no issue on payment page and payment was not rejected during check out then all went fine. My orders all sit with Pending Payment status for couple of years now :wink:
Site is not very slick and "friendly" but who cares, it still saves us serious money.

Am I the only one that thinks this website looks dodgy as hell? Lol

Pending Payment - does that mean it went through?

Hmm. For some reason, the Promotion Code box wasn't appearing last night on a tablet using Chrome, but using IE from a PC it appears.

How annoying.

I've just gone to register as a ride member and can't find anywhere to put a promo code in.. I expected it to be on the last page (stage 6) but it's not there.

Any ideas?

Thanks. Halfords confirmed that the BC card holder needs to be present at purchase time.

Thanks, although the card just has a name on with no photo id.
Would using someone else's BC card make any difference to Quidco cashback if you're using vouchers to pay? I can;t recall how Quidco verify transactions.

Also do the vouchers have a name on them i.e. could Halfords refuse if they don't match the BC card (or the named buyer if they take down that info e.g. for warranty purposes)? I can't see anything in the Ts&Cs.

If you are lucky to have a friend with BC card then bring him over, Halfords probably won't allow you to use it without him.

Has anyone used a friend's BC membership card? If so, do they need to be present to make the purchase i.e. does the shop verify their address etc. somehow?
I assume if one is paying with vouchers that there will be no credit card with which to cross-check the purchaser's name etc.?

Thank you!

You will need to ring BC customer service and ask them to email your temporary card.

Hi, You mentioned a printed BC membership card?

If I get membership today am I able to log in and print a temporary membership card? :smile:

I hope so as I was worried about waiting for my card

OK, cheers.

I'm about to find out, going to pick my Boardman MX Sport with Halfords Vouchers, printed BC membership card. I'll be able to answer your question later.

No problems at all, I just said that I am BC member and have vouchers. Nice bike btw.

Anyone know if this works in conjunction with the 10% off bikes promo code from here? That code brings the Boardman Comp Hybrid I was looking at down to £359.99 online. Would I be able to combine this with the BC 10% discount and then pay with vouchers? Theoretically sub £300 if I could do this.

10% BC discount must be applied on any valid in-store offer including sales/clearance/specials etc. If your mentioned 15% discount was valid at the time of ordering then I suggest you contact store manager and get your missing 5%.

The british cycling doesn't work with the last 15% offer, I went to 2 halfords and they didn't want to do 15% + 10%. Instead they offered me 20% (which is good just slightly less)

So it all worked out, Toyota card + vouchers stacked.

Buy gift vouchers for 10% less than their face value.

So, I'm thinking of buying a Boardman.

Halford have the 15% off - bringing it down to 254, Quidco 247, 10% (British Cycling), meaning £223.

Am I missing something? Feels like I should be getting is nearer the £200 mark.

Vouchers arrived today as promised, bike collected from Halfords ... now all I have to do is build it, take it out for a spin, fall off and do myself an injury. oO

All this means you can't apply your discount for any gift card/Cycle2Work purchases in the store. I know people get confused and think they can't pay with gift vouchers and apply BC or Toyota cards at the same time. SO buy your gift vouchers and head to the store for more savings :smile:

My freshly minted Toyota owners club card has this ominous condition printed on the back: "Not to be used in conjunction with Halfords gift vouchers, Gift cards or Halfords Cycle2Work scheme".

Does the British Cycling discount card have anything similar?

Apparently the Halfords vouchers are out of stock - ordered on Friday, told delivery won't happen until this Thursday.

I've just signed up for Ride with the CYCLESCH discount, a bit more, but the liability and legal support work for me.

Well, both give 10% off at Halfords so it is your choice :wink: Cheaper/better suited benefits/support needed - you decide!

Is it best to buy the RACE or FAN licence from British Cycling?

The Carrera Subway thread code was only giving me £10 off when I ordered the other day, £219 retail -> £199 after discounts, at checkout(click and collect). Then I sent away for £200 Halfords vouchers at 10% discount and made the final order via Quidco(3%). Think the total was about £175.

This is **** - went on to get a Subway earlier today, Halfords auto knocked the price down by £20. (199), added the voucher from the carrera thread and got it down to 186.

Tried it this afternoon and they're now only knocking off £10 and the voucher doesn't work.

This may have been already posted but here is a WARNING about using the voucher order system -

If your application is cancelled DO NOT TRY AND ORDER AGAIN check your bank hasn't blocked the transaction. The voucher ordering system only allows three orders/attempts in any 24 hour period. If you make three failed attempts(because the bank accidentally blocked you) you'll be locked out until the next day, make six failed attempts and you'll be locked out for 48 hours.

You can get around the lockout by making a new account with a new e-mail address and new card, otherwise you'll just have to wait.

Hope somebody finds the info useful. :smile:

I had issues with my bank blocking the transaction and didn't know about the lockout so eventually, after ringing the voucher company, I registered with a new card/e-mail and the discount codes/purchase worked OK.

Call them and order gift vouchers over the phone, just don't forget to quote one of the discount codes :wink:

My partner has just a look at the code the site is running during transaction and it seems there is some postcode checking javascript that looks like it's failing to load

She also said Magento who is the payment gateway was recently acquired by ebay so there may be some conflicts if ebay are updating.

Got the call today my bike is at the Halfords shop but was expecting next week but can't get the vouchers to order. Can use by British Cycling discount and quidco did track so that's something but it's another £86 on price. Wondering what to do, hmmms

I was trying yesterday (had previous success with ELGHAL13) but the transaction kept failing although knocked off discount. Check creditcard and no problems. Going to try again later as I thought would leave 24 hours.

Codes - MCOUNTHal09, ELGHAL13, NRTSCHAL13

It seems they are not working?

Wonder if anyone in the Hertfordshire or surrounding area would allow me to use their British Cycling card rather than me signing up for it and waiting?

I am happy to offer someone half the money they paid for the card or a donation to charity? I can't see myself using it again tbh...

Multiple items are fine :smile: Discounts are applied to the whole order.
Cheers :wink:

Can you do this for multiple items (bike/helmet/lock/lights etc) or does it have to be followed for each item?

yep nedford ! nail on the head

so a 200 pound bike costs 180 pounds (with 10% discount) then you buy 180 pounds worth of vouchers with 10% discount which is 162 pounds...

Got my vouchers eventually, thanks Senukas for your advice :-)

Thanks, I will try again once more if the transaction doesn't go through I will call them...

Annoying to say the least....

From my gift voucher orders confirmation emails: " If you have any questions about your order please contact us at [email protected]buyvouchers.net or call us at 0844 8009507 Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm PST."

Thanks for the reply,

Any suggestions on which department to call, Customers Services or the Halfords Business Services direct?

Thanks

Just tried Select site, speed is not great but it worked for right to the payment details step. As they ask I would ring them and order over the phone, just write down discount code :wink:

Btw, they have raised free delivery amount from £50 to £500, greedy :disappointed:

Hiya all,

Well I've tried 2 cards now.

Initially a Mastercard CC twice and now my Debit Card.

Spoke to my CC Company they said there's no block or bar on the CC.

The CC chap mentioned something about the site being slow and he's correct the Halfords Business Services site is so slow, its almost like dial up!!!!

I'm starting to get my hair off with this, tried it 3 times now, all it's saying is Order Cancelled, contact us via email or telephone....

What would you guys suggest considering the Select Site is aimed at corporations rather than a single entity?

Thanks all

Most probably it is your CC. Gift voucher site is handled by third party, not Halfords directly. Just try different card or ring your cc customer service, they might have blocked this transaction.

Hi guys,

I've managed to reserve a Carerra Parva to pay in store and have tried to order vouchers from Halfords Business Services, however, when I tried to pay for vouchers it came up with "Order Error please check your billing information"

Could this be my Credit Card provider or something to do with Halfords??

I'm reluctant to try and order again, anyone with a similar experience of this?

Any advice would be appreciated..

Thanks in advance

You can call BC and ask them to email your temporary card which is accepted at Halfords. Total discount for small first time purchases will be less than 22%, this is approx estimate if you buy +500 bike :smile:

Just noticed the Carrera Parva Limited Edition deal thread and i was wondering if anyone could anyone help me, I have a couple of questions.

- How long does it take for the BC membership take to come through the post
- Does the membership automatically renew / is it easy to cancel
- Would I be right in saying that if I bought a bike at £200 I would only have to pay £171?

Original Price: £200
-10% BC Discount = £180
-£180 of Vouchers @ 10% off = £162
-3% cashback (£6)
= £156
+Price of membership £15
TOTAL PRICE PAID = £171

I'm guessing the 22% in the title didn't take into account the price of the membership?

Justblaze senukus is telling the truth, don't take it to be honest as the vouchers are used as cash ! only web orders that you have delivered to the store cannot have any additional discount so they really should allow you to use the vouchers + either Toyota OR British Bike membership discount.

If they are still giving you gib just call head office and ask them to call the store while you wait and be pre-pared to grin like a cheshire cat when it all goes through the till.

I recommend to go back to the store and ask to talk to the manager. Staff lied to you. Both memberships give you discount on top of any in store promotion (they can refuse to apply web promos though). Gift vouchers as payment method are treated as cash, it doesn't matter where/how you have got them.
If staff told you you can't buy Halfords gift vouchers in store at a discount with your membership card then they were right. Otherwise store manager should haul that c**t of sales advisor and lynch him in front of you...

That's a shame. I didn't have any problems using the discount card with the vouchers. I reserved the bike during a 10% flash sale so actually combined 3 discounts on the bike. Could just be that store you went to so worth trying a different one if there is one nearby.

just to let you all know, unfortunately I wasnt able to take up this offer. the staff told me that not only could my Toyota discount card not be used in conjunction with any other discount, but that the gift vouchers couldn't be used in conjunction with a discount card.

in fairness the staff were very reasonable, but not sure why they're so strict considering that all the discount does is bring the bike down to a competitive price. the rrp is grossly over inflated compared to what is available elsewhere...

Sorry don't know how to quote posts on my tablet but yes, received vouchers today. Placed order Monday evening so bit of a delay.

Did you receive your gift vouchers yet?

I had to email Toyota about the discount card. They normally send their membership packs out in bunches when they get them in stock so its best to drop them an email. They sent the card out to me on Monday and it arrived Wednesday. The rest of the pack will arrive when they send the next round out.

I think there was occasion last year when they run out of gift vouchers and delayed deliveries by few days.
Can't say anything about Toyota card delivery times, I suppose you can always ring them to find out.

ordered one set of vouchers at the weekend which arrived on Tuesday, but still awaiting another set ordered at the beginning of this week.

has anyone else received their Toyota discount card yet?

It says completed. It should have been sent Tuesday morning to get here yesterday but still not arrived today either. Going to ring them up.

Have you checked your order isn't on hold, on the halfords select site?

Ordered Halfords vouchers Monday night, still not arrived. Was expecting them today seeing as they should have been dispatched yesterday.

First of all great thread, thanks senukas for your input

Couple of questions:

How long does the Toyota membership take to arrive? I signed up Thursday night.

Does it have to be a credit card that you purchase halfords vouchers with? Can you not use a debit card?

Also topcashback are giving 4.2% for halfords.

I can confirm it's special delivery next business day. I ordered on Saturday and received it Wednesday (due to the bank holiday).

I ordered £600 worth of vouchers and they're just like paper. Couldn't blag any extra discounts, but I'm happy.

Thank you for posting this senukas!

Have you paid for the bike yet?

The reason I ask is that Halfords quite often have flash sales on for 10/20% off.

Is the spend £600 save £60 voucher dtill running?

Vouchers took 2 days to arrive for me.

I think cut off time for next day voucher delivery is 16:00 but def within 2 working days.

couple of days normally

I managed to use code CYCLESCH on the British Cycling site to bring the cost of the Bronze membership down to £14.18.
I've ordered the Voodoo Bizango from Halfords which was up for £600. I used the British Cycling 10% discount which took it down to £540.
I then ordered £540 worth of Halfords vouchers from the Halfords Select Business service. I used code NRTSCHAL13 which then gave me 10% off. That meant I only paid £486.00 for the vouchers.
Add the cost of the British Cycle membership (£14.18) and that means I'm buying the bike for £500.18.

Anyone ordered vouchers from Halfords Select Business Service? How long do they take to come back?

Has anyone been able to use any discount with the Cycle2work scheme at all? It says on the T&C's that you cant use the British Cycling discount when doing Cycle2work.

Don't know about Toyota but for BC you can ring and ask them to email you temporary membership card which is accepted in store.

Can somebody tell me if either the Toyota Owners club or British Cycling discounts are instant?
Or rather how long would it take?
I know the gift cards are Special Next Day

No idea, try to clear app cashe/data

why is this deal still at the top of my app everytime this is a very old deal

Thanks for this update

Just want to let people know Halfords gift vouchers CANNOT be used at Halfords Autocentre after confirming with their staff. Check cashback sites to get a bit of discount if you want to use their autocentre.

Bizarrely, the site is back up now and it looks like the order went through - shall see if they come tomorrow :smile:

Got to the payment, then their site crashed and I can't open it now. How annoying. Still, thanks to OP, anyway :smile:

That may be the way it happens in store but that's not the way it reads, especially with the part about Cycle2Work scheme. I suppose it's irrelevant if nobody has encountered problems.
UPDATE: I have used the select.halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk website and got my vouchers, no problems using them in store after getting 10% discount by showing British Cycling card, it was a Reserve&Collect order - tracked by Quidco but not payed yet though.


That card does seem pretty good, costs 99p. [See edit] So total Halfords discount you can get is now up to 34.03% (29.03% on bikes).
EDIT: Of course you would have to use the Pockit card instead of vouchers... so you lose 4%
EDIT 2: Percentages are inaccurate, will be slightly less as discounts are applied after each other.

Site works fine, I got my basket right to the payment page just now... You need to register and log in first though :wink:

I used it sunday and it crashed when I was going through payment.

I got the vouchers this morning and bought my Boardman Team CX for about £600 when it should have been £900.

I spoke too soon!!!!

select.halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk site not working and I cannot place the order.

Has anyone used the site over the last few days to order vouchers or got any ideas?

We have discussed this before - what it means you can't apply Toyota/BC discount if you want to buy Halfords/other retailers gift vouchers in the store or online.
The only way you can buy gift vouchers with the discount is through select.halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk and that is 10% off. Once you have gift vouchers they are treated as cash in store.

You can also get 6% cashback using this pre-pay debit card. Got one but not used it yet found out about it on mse. pockit.com/cas…ack also says Quote And more good news... the cashback you get is on top of any promotions they’re offering, instore or online. How handy is that.

Yes.
Toyota Owners Club + Vouchers + TopCashBack
15 + 10 + 3.03 = 28.03%

British Cycling + Vouchers + TCB
10 + 10 +3.03 = 23.03%

Or with Quidco drop 0.03%
Toyota only 10% on bikes.
TOC = £15.95 per year
BC = £18.90 first year via Direct Debit, then £21 per year. (Possibly £14.23 with discount code CS13, not sure if it works)
The Toyota membership gives 5% more discount than British Cycling (or the same 10% on bikes), although the British Cycling memberships obviously come with other benefits such as discounted bike insurance and 10% discount at Chain Reaction Cycles (each month).

toyotaownersclub.com/dis…-6/


britishcycling.org.uk/mem…nts


So maybe neither card is really meant to be used when paying with Halfords gift vouchers. The Toyota terms seem to make it clear, not so with the British Cycling terms.
I guess it depends whether the staff know or care.

Thanks for this senukas, really worth the 10 minutes it takes to sort it. Nice one

If you pay in store then yes, they are treated as cash

Can Halfords gift vouchers be used to pay for their car servicing?

Did you call your cc provider to see whether they are blocking transaction? This can be the reason for declining your purchase.

halfordsbusinessservices - also having issues - not able to complete transaction, fails after 'verified by visa/mastercard' step. 3 cards from 3 different banks, otherwise fully functional. called helpdesk 3 times, they are clueless, suggested to wait 'more than 48h and try again'. did not help ..

is there some trick to how vouchers are ordered paid for there ?

Got the vouchers next day special delivery.

Yep I know what you mean, that's how I got my Boardman Hybrid Pro for 780 instead of 999 !! massive saving !!

does anyone know how long the take to arrive? thanks :smile:

Would also like to say massive thanks to the op.

I've managed to get a 10% voucher off vouchercodes.co.uk , 3% Quidco. £480 of vouchers for £432 and hopefully will get a further 10% after joining British Cycling. I was minutes away from paying full price before seeing this thread.

Thanks mate, all ordered and working. I was being an idiot.

Just checked - gift voucher site works fine, can log in and order vouchers with 10% discount codes.

Anyone notice if the voucher code side has gone? I've registered but it directs me to jordanmedia.com ?

thx

Anyone else having issues with the site? Bank accepting the payment but keeps coming up with an error. Should I call or will they not help if I can't prove how I got the discount code 'legitimately'?

23.5% to be precise.

isn't this 25% discount??

15% off with the Toyota Owners Club
and
10% off the Halfords vouchers (Codes - MCOUNTHal09, ELGHAL13, NRTSCHAL13 - all give 10% off)

If promotion runs in store then BC discount will be applied on top no matter what. They might refuse it if it is online only promo but with r&c orders they normally don't care either.

Same as Stanley_Cooper, I didn't have a problem stacking the discount (the BCM is in addition to whatever promotion they have, that is why you are a member).

Good post, a little bit of effort for a great saving. Most definately worth the effort.

Hi Snafu12,

The company which deals with the vouchers also sells vouchers for many other big companies so I wouldn't worry about that at all. Gong to purchase some more to get a bike carrier next week. With regards to the boardman discount or other discount this is my second purchase and didn't have any problems with using my bcm discount plus an online discount. As far as staff at my local halfords are concerned its a barcode they scan to get you an extra 10 percent off.

Also just a heads up, well this seems to be the case in my area dont know about yours but your bcm discount cannot be applied to the 15% of boardman deal that halfords currently has on offer. Ive rang 6 different stores in my area all saying its either the 15% or the 10% of you bcm have to choose one.

No it is not save as people were loosing money for two years now and credit card companies were not refunding undelivered vouchers, it is a scam...

OF COURSE IT IS SAFE, how many confirmations one needs to read to see its all fine?

Hey stanley , did you order the vouchers from that website? just wondered if its all safe etc.

Well purchased a bike ab few days ago from halfords. Got my local shop to price match with another shop which saved me 100 pounds. Plus buying halfords vouchers and using my British cycling membership. All in all I saved myself nearly 200 pounds. I am well happy with my purchase.

Please see post 226 above - your credit card provider blocked the transaction.

Just got through to the checkout but after confirming my Mastercard code, I was told that the order is on hold. Is this usual or is it likely that I've got something wrong somewhere in the details? Thanks

senukas,

Big thank you! I have just collected a Voodoo Bizango with a discount of 30% for a grand total of £438 :grin: (Instead of £600)

I would recommend people go to collect their item(s) in the evening though. The guy who served me was quite young and when I gave him the printed British Cycling discount voucher, he was suspicious and tried to phone what I assumed was Halfords' head office. He wasn't able to get hold of anyone (I assume because of the time), so he put the discount through.

Had he managed to get in contact with them, the outcome might have been different as strictly speaking the BC discount terms specify that they can't be used with any other discounts.

It is on the 5th page on Halfords deals search :wink:
Thanks for support. I suppose this could go under vouchers section but don't know how to change it. Would need Mods evaluation on this...

Why does this deal no longer show up on a Halfords search. Following with interest and rather annoyed at having to search 'senukas' to follow. Have Halfords used their weight and had it removed?

You are welcome :grin: I'm glad it helped so many people to save serious cash.
BTW if anyone has other codes for gift voucher, please share and I will update the info.

Thanks. I think you're right, it definitely seems to be a matter of pot luck.

Fingers crossed, I'm due to (hopefully) collect my shiny new bike at the end of the week.

I think it was manually applied but I wasn't paying much attention. I was actually waiting for him to tell me I couldn't use it as the bike was already in the sales. The receipt just says coupons £45, I think its luck of who serves you as I tried to use the BC discount in the same branch on a helmet and they wouldn't accept it against the web price (not web exclusive) at the main till. This time I was served by the guy who assembled the bike and paid in the bike area.

Did he appear to scan the barcode or just apply the 10% discount manually?

I used the printable BC voucher, the guy didn't even ask for my membership card.

Did you use the printable BC voucher or did you simply show your BC card?

Just collected a Boardman hybrid comp 2014.

RRP £499.99
BC membership £6.75
£400 Halford vouchers £360
Xmas sale -10%
BC member -10%
Quidco tracked £18

Total paid £353.74

Thanks op!!

@ ds_99, just use a "." for the name ;-)

Thanks

Do you need a company name to order the vouchers ?
I have registered but the address page asks for a company name. ( required field )
I have tried twice with 2 different payment cards and both transactions have been cancelled on the Halfords business site after the payment looked to go ok.

I used NRTSCHAL13.

I just bought the vouchers to the value of all have dicounts worst case I would hav had to fork out £40 on top if they did not accept the BC membership , I never tried the bikes and got it flat packed

So did you only buy vouchers after finding out the final price in store or did you buy them in advance? My concern is being up a certain alley due to the non-refundable vouchers if the bike isn't suitable, or if they don't accept the BC stacked discount for some reason.

That's what I did On my Boardman for £650

Ordered it online when they had 10% discount on boardmans taking £65 off
Then put in the 10% code active at the time taking another £58 off making it £526

When I was due to pick up in store with the BC membership for a further 10% of making a total of £473

So bought £480 of vouchers for £432

All was accepted in store no issues at all

Anyone used the BC discount in conjunction with store discounts e.g. the current "Spend & Save"?

I was thinking the whole discount process through and assuming the Halfords vouchers are non-refundable, it would make sense to use Click & Collect to reserve or order in a bike and then go to the store when the bike was available just in case there was a problem with the bike (e.g. fit), and also to check if the BC discount was applicable. Then you would know the correct value of vouchers to order.

Anyone see any problems with this?

Means cant be used to buy gift vouchers. Vouchers are like cash to halfords, so you can still use them to pay when using your BC membership card.

I just want a code.
any codes floating around?

one thing a noticed was on my receipt there was no mention of a web discount prior to applying the BC discount so why wouldn't they apply it. I am so happy as can't wait to get a voodoo hoodoo after Christmas.

On my BMW membership discount card it says it cannot be used with gift vouchers, but every time I use it the assistant has no idea what to do and I have to tell them, so I reckon I could get away with it!

Just spent this week reading this thread which has been very useful. After purchasing a BC membership this week I purchased a kids bike online with a 10% voucher. I then picked it up from my local halfords and didn't have any problems using the BC membership. I didn't purchase any halford vouchers but I plan to at the end of the year once I get a bike of my own. All in all I saves 20% plus cash back from quidco which makes me happy. Also for information I noticed my local halfords was doing 10% off all boardman bikes this weekend. This offer isn't on halfords website so not sure whether it's national.

Shame they don't accept PayPal, btw!

Sainsbury's said they'd approve it... but now the site won't accept a repeat order with the same card.

Spoke to them, but it didn't fix things. Grrr!

Yes, they can do that...

Halfords currently have a 10% discount on all bikes...I got my little girl a bike on order and collect but the local store wouldn't let me have the British Cycling discount on top. Anyone know if that's right. Didn't seem it to me as it wasn't a web only offer

Call CC CS, give them b*llocking, ask to unblock your transaction, wait 1h and go through check out again.
Never had issue with Tesco CC though..

I've had nothing but grief trying to buy vouchers. Credit card companies won't put through payment. Painful.

Worked today for me on a Voodoo bike.

Sales guy had never seen a British cycling card so had to call the manager up. I thought here we go, especially with 5 people now queued behind me. But the manager just stuck it through and threw the vouchers in the draw.

£120 saved.

Cheers OP

Thanks very much for posting this :smile:

Set the ball rolling today by ordering a British Cycling fan card (£18) & Halford vouchers with the 10% off code.

Now need to wait to wait for both to turn up, before remembering to buy via Quidco/TCB for a little more off.

Will let you know how it all turned out.

I got TomTom for £104

Currently on Amazon its £299 (Although this does bounce around a bit)

Great bit of kit for anyone thinking about it by the way. 100% recommend purchase

Come on then , tell us how much you saved(or Halfords lost) by your voucher stacking.

Heat just for the fact you wrote all of that

I bought a TomTom 6000 yesterday.
I got the £20 off online promotion
I got 3.15% Top Cash Back
I bought it using vouchers from Halfords services using promo code for 10% off
I got 10% off in store using the British Cycle Membership
Then I will get £50 Cash Back from TomTom on there cashback promotion.
This is called voucher stacking, where you stack one voucher on top of another and another and another...
ALL IN ALL I AM A WINNER

When you say 'generic discount code' does that include 'Web Exclusive' discounts like they currently have on Sat Nav's - 'spend £200, save £20'? Yes
Could you provide a link where it states in their T&C's about discount stacking, I can't find it. Toyota and BC card terms and conditions, please look at their pages.

Thank you

Gift vouchers you buy from select.halfordsbusinessservices are treated as cash in store, there are NO restrictions.
What staff would say you can't use to BUY gift vouchers (Halfords, iTunes etc) in store with the discount given by Toyota or BC membership card.
Staff should refuse to apply Toyota/BC card discount for reserved to collect items if there was generic discount code used at that time (for example 10% off all mountain bikes promo), it is in t&c's. But not all staff are bothered to check and often let discount stacking.

I rang a couple of local stores and asked them about using the Toyota discount card with the gift vouchers but neither of them had heard of the Toyota card. I've sent an email to Halfords customer services but I'm thinking it's not worth the risk of wasting £15.95 on a membership, the discount would be £17 after subtracting the £15.95.

10% off trough discounted gift vouchers and 3% quidco/tcb for reservation. They would probably refuse 15% Toyota discount but worth a try.

Please could someone advise what discounts I can get on a Sat-Nav that has a 'Web exclusive' discount already applied. Can I use the 10% reduced gift vouchers aswell as the Toyota Owners Club Discount card ?

I need to know ASAP as the Sat Nav prices never seem to stay down for long and I've waited months to see them this low.

Thank you

Found this by accident! Hot!

You are wrong. Halford stores sell same gift vouchers and you can't buy them with Toyota discount or BC card. This was discussed already. You can read this as "Excludes in store purchases of Halfords gift vouchers, gift cards or Halfords Cycle2Work scheme"

Am I correct in my understanding that you cannot use the Toyota discount code if paying by vouchers, therefore I cannot take advantage of buying the Gift vouchers at a discount?

This is from the Toyota club T&Cs
Toyota Owners Club Premium Members now receive their very own exclusive Halfords Discount Card allowing you to get 15% off in store! This is on top of any other promotions the store may be running. Simply present your discount card at the checkout before you pay to have your discount applied.
Excludes bikes but you will still receive a 10% discount on bikes.
Cannot be used online or at Halfords Autocentres.
Discount cannot be exchanged for cash or gift vouchers.
Cannot be used in conjunction with Halfords gift vouchers, gift cards or Halfords Cycle2Work scheme.

No vouchers yet for bank holiday, seems to be £10 off for every £100 you spend up to £600...

Which vouchers are you talking about? Store discount codes come and go, next round should be around Bank holiday...

Called Halfords customer service and was told that the voucher is no long available!

Thanks

Codes can only be applied after registration with the site.

how long will Halfords allow for you to reserve and collect at the offer price? i.e. while I wait for vouchers to arrive.

Thanks

Just tried on their website, seems to be a week.

or when the business is at its quietest

The 10% off voucher codes seem to have expired... I tried MCOUNTHal09, ELGHAL13, NRTSCHAL13

wow i thought it was only the 10% of vouchers and the 10% of BC only working atm?

Whats the other codes for discount by chance?

There is no quidco/tcb when you buy gift vouchers. Cashback is only available for halfords.co.uk sales or r&c orders.

If I buy vouchers through Halfords business service website do I get cash back via quidco through this site ?

Do Halfords have live chat on site I can't find it anymore

I see it's 20% discount on road bikes now which includes mine (Comp CX)........good job you can't get a 53cm anymore or I might be a bit miffed....lol

Inverness so worked out after stacking all the codes was 33 % all in after 4x10% off vouchers

Im going to get that bike :stuck_out_tongue:

Vouchers ordered last Wednesday, they arrived Friday......postie didn't bother with getting them signed for though, just put through door!

Picked up the bike Friday evening with no problems handing over x27 £20.00 vouchers...lol (I had already added some extras i.e. spd's, etc)

So in the end the bike was originally £599 - 10% store discount, then 10% off vouchers and another £30.00 as they messed me about for a week = £456.00! Happy days! I know I could have saved a bit more but I was very happy with the final deal.

Went out for a 30 mile cross country ride yesterday, the bike was even better than expected although rocky descents and singletrack are quite challenging but overall it's so much quicker than the hardtail mtb! I have to say I love the CX Comp!

My thanks again to all involved in sharing these great savings! :-)

Yes :wink:

Many thanks O.P, got my Boardman Hybrid Pro for £720 instead of £999 but have already crashed lol (Only got it on friday !), it's so dam fast but a word of warning ! Do not belt it around a blind corner in case there is a dog walking across your path as I found out to my dismay (apologies again to the lady walking her dog in crystal palace park that I nearly wiped out) but hey the disc brakes worked a treat !

Is the british cycling thing a card?

Which discounts did you use?

10% off online code for mountain bikes - now expired I think
10% British Cycling discount applied in store (they are not supposed to do the BC discount with online discounts but you may be lucky)
10% off the price of Halfords gift vouchers
3% quidco

Good deal! I got the same bike (but RRP is £599.99) for about the same price with 3 x 10% discounts plus quidco at approx £18.

Any chance i could use someones BC ?
i would of course pay you something

Well that worked a treat, thanks. Picked up my Voodoo Bizango RRP of £699.99 for £420.30, well chuffed :o)

Used the the voucher discount, reserved through quid co, found an online 10% discount code and then they took another 10% off for a British Cycling club membership.... Not bad eh!

There are serious savings to be made if can put some effort and a little time :wink:

Thanks a lot senukas. Vouchers came through today and i completed the purchase of my Boardman Hybrid Comp for £320 saving £180 pound. Great Deal!

Or there is B15HYB01 for a hybrid bike.

B15MTB01

No

Does anyone know if the vouchers have an expiry date. Thanks.

Finally got the vouchers thing to work.

Timboellis- whereabouts was it that accepted the bc code as some say they don't let you do it anymore?

what was your code?

Well i managed to get a Boardman MTB £649 for £429 after 10% off everything / 10% Code / 10% Vouchers and 10% BC :-)

Yes, that didn't work either after an annoying 20 min phone call to an overseas call centre.

I hope they turn up on Friday my Bizango has been waiting for me since last Friday....

doi I ordered yesterday at 13:30 and have sitting all day by the window waiting for them to arrive lol, should of checked back here 1st !

Have been informed that there is a new shipment of Halfords vouchers coming in tomorrow. Fingers Crossed.

Did you call your CC issuer and asked to unblock the transaction? If you didn't then no matter what IP or account name you do, it will not go through. You need to call them, wait at least 30 min before trying again. This was discussed several times :wink:

Isn't that bike 900£ ?

Edit- was looking at team bike

I can't get the select.halfordsbusinessservices vouchers to order for love nor money. Tries all last night with 2 different cards and barred every time. Tried this morning on a new account and 2 different cards at a friends house(so different IP) and still get this:

Order #1300010---
Before attempting to process this order again please check you have input all your billing information correctly, for more information please get in contact with us via phone or email with your reference number.
Please continue shopping.

Just ordered some vouchers as I have a Boardman Comp CX on the way.....hopefully! I paid with my Barclaycard and surprise, surprise they text me a fraud message, just had to confirm by text it was me making the payment but suggested I check the payment went through. Phoned to check and all is well, although the vouchers might take two or three days to arrive so hoping I have them for Saturday at the latest! A £600 bike for £486, 10% in store plus saving with vouchers.....I'm happy with that!

Assuming the bike actually materialises as I ordered last Thurs, was meant to be ready Fri PM, so I arrive to collect...."sorry sir it's not ready..." okay I'll come back midday sat "yes fine sir".......get dropped off at the store ready to go straight out on it...."ooh sir we can't find your bike....".....err what?? "yes, it's not here..."...and then the manager tells me he's mostly concerned he has a £600 bike missing not that I have been messed around! I'm sure not all Halfords are like this but this is the first time I've bought from them and I'm not too impressed.....as a goodwill gesture he's giving me £30 of free accessories.

Ah well, should be good once I get it! And my thanks senukas for the info, very much appreciated as a further £54 saving is great! Top shout! :-)

All the recent Carrera bike deals are taking the toll :disappointed:

I was also told they are currently processing saturdays orders if this is of any help to anyone.

Hi, yes I called to confirm. They said they had received high demand for these vouchers in the past week and halfords only supply limited stock. I was told to call back tomorrow to recheck the status of my order.

Did you call them to confirm this? Mind the status in your order list never changes from Processing even after the despatch.

The vouchers are backlogged. I ordered mine Monday morning and they haven't been despatched yet. Expect delays.

No, it should all work with the details on the BC site.

Ordered vouchers using Barclaycard - asked to enter further security details using 'Verified by Visa', which is quite normal. Then receive telephone calls and texts to mobile, asking me to contact Barclaycard by telephone. I did this and transaction went through.

Complained to Barclaycard online saying that I had already been asked for additional security details using 'Verified by Visa' so why did they need further confirmation. Received reply "In view of your experience and being a valued Barclaycard customer I am pleased to inform you that I have credited your Barclaycard account with £30 for the inconvenience caused. You will be able to view this credit online after 48 working hours and on your next monthly statement."

Result - a further £30 off the cost of the bike!

Does my employer need to be part of the cycle to work scheme for me to use the discount for the British Cycling membership?

Xshelleyx did they turn up? How did you get on? I'm thinking of doing this to get a new bike and just wondering if anyone has successfully got the discounts recently

It doesn't show as dispatched - the vouchers just show up. No idea about the staff discount card!

Oh ok Thanks :smile: Ordered last night but not showing as dispatched when I log in. Do you think I can pay with vouchers when using a staff discount card?

Next working day if you ordered before midday. Otherwise the following day.

How long do the vouchers take to arrive? I ordered some yesterday

Barclaycard is a nightmare, got rid of mine five years ago due to similar issues - got my card blocked altogether for online purchase!!! I spent two hours on the phone and they wouldn't confirm my identity, then was told to go to Barclays branch with passports, bills etc to confirm it. It took branch manager 45 min to persuade them and confirm that me IS me. After this I told them to stick their service up theirs and NEVER looked back.
M&S card is similar - will block anything outside M&S transactions not only abroad but in UK too... OH was left furious couple of time already, card was cancelled two times this year already, they don't even bother to call and check.
Heard HSBC is not far away with their "risk management" either.

Will agree with markross - Tesco works everywhere, never had an issue - here or abroad...

To advise - ring Barclaycard again and ask to speak to management regarding total failure to let transaction go through.

I gave up with my Barclaycard - ended up using my Tesco card instead. It blocked it on the first attempt, after which I got an automated call from Tesco asking me to verify the purchase. After that it worked fine.

I'm having a nightmare trying to buy these vouchers, I've tried 3 times now and each time my card gets blocked. It didn't work the first time so I waited until the next morning after getting it unblocked but with no luck, then I waited just over an hour to try and buy them and again it's gotten blocked. Has anyone managed to buy them with a Barclaycard? I've told them it's ok but their system just keeps on blocking it :disappointed:

Always good to check whether BC membership is worth obtaining and their discount is bigger than Halfords online sales.

I just phoned the branch and they said that they can't offer 10% off to online offers (i.e. the 10% off flash sale they have now until 2pm). I'm just going to use the vouchers and quidco on top of the halfords online discount to purchase a bike, it'll save me about £15 from buying a BC membership.

The official terms of the BC discount are that it can't be used with "online only" offers, so they might refuse. I guess it just depends on how lucky you are.

Can you use the BC on top of the online offer (i.e. 10% off everything today) with an extra 10% off from BC and then the other 10% off from using vouchers?

You need to show your BC membership card in store to obtain discount. There used to be voucher which you needed to print off your BC account but not anymore :smile:

I understand the rest, but how do you get this bit ^ is that using this: britishcycling.org.uk/mem…nts

Sorry to post again, but to confirm....I called the bank and they were the ones stopping it as it didn't pass fraud checks on a voucher purchasing website. So if anyone has similar problems, just do that :smile:

Happy money saving!!

I have tried with the three suggested codes, but none of them are working and say transaction failed?

YES :wink:

Does this still work?

Yes thanks.

The OP needs updated with some advice. It is posted a few times in here but its not easy to find.
If you order the vouchers and your bank doesn't accept the payment (very common) do not try again within the hour or Halfords flag your account which it appears takes 48 hours to fix. IF you try once and its rejected. Phone your bank and tell them the purchase is fine then wait a couple of hours before trying again.

Someone was asking about the vouchers - anyone can use them. Just standard vouchers.

Good deal for those who don't have access to cycle2work.info scheme. That can net over 46% off as scheme offers up to 42% (top rate tax payer) off the cost and its possible to get 10% off the bike hire in the first place. Yes you don't own it but 5/6yrs means bike is worth nothing so written off and option to transfer (normally).

Hth

Good piece of advice, thanks. This method will work with any in store promotion/discount/sale/reduction/clearance.
But I would be cautious with web store only discounts (like recent 10% discount on bikes) when using R&C. People reported that they were not allowed to combine it with BC discount when paying for the order in store.

Thanks again. Now the decision to carry on with my bike project or just buy a Carrera...

The Halfords I went to seemed fully clued up about what I was doing - the manager noticed me paying with vouchers and commented that he'd bet I'd got them with 10% off as well. So I'm not sure if they've officially stopped people applying both discounts. The BC website says it only excludes web only offers, and this was an in store offer so I guess that was the reason I got it.

What bike?

£229 original price
£208 with 10% web discount to pay in store with gift vouchers
£189 to obtain gift vouchers
Plus you get some cashback later on...
‌ :smile:

Thanks for the info :wink: I think I have the maths equivalent of dyslexia. Trying to work out how much I should spend on vouchers... I just can't fathom the best way to do it.

If you combine Halfords 10% events with gift vouchers and reserve&collect with quidco/tbc then you don't need BC membership. From what I understand Halfords are stopping people applying both online discount and BC discount but there are still lucky "escapes" like markrosss in above post.

Would this be worth my while if buying a £229 bike ? I think I save just over £50 at 22%.

...but after spending £20 on the Bronze pack, would that only result in a £30 saving ?

I noticed the bikes generally go down to £180 at some point in the future that's all.

Just got a Boardman Team CX bike. Original price was £899 but with 10% off in store, plus the vouchers, plus British Cycling discount (which they gave me) I've paid approx £656. Hopefully should get 3% Quidco as well!

What bike you going to get?[Not actually me but my wife - halfords.com/cyc…4cm ]

Maybe that should be a separate post. I'll start it off though with £56 approx

Thinking about it the difference with cash is that they do have to scan each voucher individually, and depending on the purchase price and the fact that each voucher is shown on your receipt, it may mean that the receipt could be at least a foot long.One of mine was nearly two feet.

Thanks! Guess I wasn't sure on how they would react to being given a large number of vouchers for a single item. Wish I gave this a try when they had a bike sale early this month :disappointed:

[quote=omikron]Hi folks, thinking of getting a bike something from Halfords and I found this page.

If I'm reading this right, the idea is to purchase the vouchers from select.halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk/ equal or as close to the amount of the bike, and to use one of the three codes to apply a 10% discount on the vouchers. I should then go ahead and reserve a bike from the halfords, and take the vouchers in to pay for it when collecting.



I have purchased two bikes from Halfords and saved loads of money thanks to this thread. I can confirm that the vouchers are treated exactly the same as cash, you won't have to prove how you purchased them or show ID or anything, I am sure your local Halfords are just happy with the sale to boost their figures.

I hope this helps.

Is there any issues with paying with the vouchers instore, as in they can only be used by certain people? Or are they just treated as typical gift vouchers, like in other stores?

Im looking for a 1st bike also.
Looking at road bikes though

Getting a Carrera Crossfire 2 Hybrid, cheap enough to get me started and not too expensive that im scared to take it out!
Any thoughts anyone?
Maybe something better up too around £450 or shall I stick with it.....

What bike you going to get?

Thanks. Hopefully they should be here for both of us tomorrow. Ordered mine 830 this morning

No I called them this morning to see if they had been posted, but they told me that since I had placed the order after midday they would be posted today. So hopefully should receive them tomorrow.

markross - did you get your vouchers today? I ordered mine this morning, I am hoping it comes tomorrow as I want to get the bike before 10% deal ends on Saturday.

What bike you going for?

Maybe that should be a separate post. I'll start it off though with £56 approx

Glad you got your vouchers. It has been a year since I posted this deal and it is still working fine :smile: Wonder how many thousand pounds people saved in this time :smile:

Worked with Firefox,1st time. Many many thanks to you and OP

I am using IE, I will try chrome later and or Firefox and report back.....

I'm glad it finally worked out for you. Vouchers are delivered by RM Special delivery, should be with you tomorrow :smile:

What browser do you use? IE is not the best option, try with Chrome or Opera. There is no difference which code you will use, all give 10% discount. Also ring your CC to see whether they are blocking transaction - happens a lot with voucher provider site unfortunately...

When buying the Vouchers off of Halfords website with the discount code ELGHAL13, I get to payment stage, put in Credit card details, press continue and a little pop up comes up saying 'Loading next step' for a couple of seconds and then nothing happens, no matter how many times I press or what CC I use.
Anyone else having this trouble or know what Im doing wrong?

Both banks I spoke to told me I only needed to wait 5 mins. Anyway, 3rd credit card and about my 9th attempt it finally worked! Hopefully I should receive the vouchers tomorrow.

As I wrote several times before - wait at least 30 mimute before trying again. Bank systems need to be updated and it takes time. An advisor can tell you that he removed the bar but system can take a while to refresh (and if database refreshes once an hour you are running in the same rejection problem again and again).

No I'm still waiting for my membership card. If it hasn't come by the time I'm ready to purchase the bike, apparently you can call them up and they will email you a temporary one.

I'm not talking about British Cycling membership, I'm trying to buy vouchers on the select.halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk website - but whatever I do I can't get it to accept my payment.

Do you print something off the membership page?

Did you buy membership?

Now just hoping they'll give me 10% off with British Cycling membership on top of the 10% off road bikes offer they have on at the moment...

I've tried 6 times to purchase on the vouchers website but my card is declined every time. I've called the credit card company twice to get them to authorise it but it still makes no difference.

Anyone lend me there membership pls?

Thanks, I've taken a chill pill. Ill try again shortly.
Ps this is a cracking thread, saving me a fortune (hopefully).

Calm down! Happens to a lot of people with Halfords voucher provider site. Please contact CC provider so they could unblock the card to use with them, wait 30min or so and it will be fine.

Got the membership over the phone now can't get the vouchers.
Not a single one of my credit cards will work on their site. All rejected. getting calls from the bank to see if my card has been used illegally. Now tried 6 times and has cost me an hour of my life.

Painful.

Worst case - ring them and get your membership over the phone. They will also email you temporary badge.

anyone tried signing up with the British cycling website recently? It just says
Problems detected: please see notes below for how to continue
Everything is filled in and nothing is highlighted.

I was unable for ages, but it was to do with my bank. not the website... Thanks

Looks like Halfords are closing stacking discount loophole but always worth a try... Nevermind, 22% is a very healthy cut. And it would still work on sale items :smile:

Used the Halfords '10% off all bikes' offer from last weekend combined with buying vouchers & used quidco to get a total of 22% off a Boardman CX. I asked about the BC 10% discount when I collected, and they stated that it couldn't be combined with any other discounts (Leamington store).

karlbienvenu.
I've just taken an order to checkout and it's working fine. Have you created an account and then logged in before putting any vouchers in your basket?

Hey Guys,

is anyone else having trouble with purchacing the vouchers - Just keeps coming back with an error...

select.halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk/

Thanks for sharing your experience! Don't forget there is TCB/Quidco on top for reserved items.

Used the codes above to buy the vouchers at 10% discount - ordered Monday - arrived Wednesday. Also already have the British cycling member ship - so got total of 20% off a boardman bike with ease! - They will not combine the BC with other promotions they have at the time - at my local Halfords anyway. Very happy thanks to all.

Hi,

Went to Halfords just with BC membership and they gave me BC 10% discount in the end (they were asking each other how to proceed with this).
So I bought a bike of £250 for just £205 as I saved 10% (£25) with BC membership and £20 for buying vouchers worth £200 for which I paid just £180 (used code ELGHAL13).

Thanks, and happy shopping to everyone

I'd be very surprised if they don't have any offers on over the Easter weekend (but there's almost always no warning).

Looks like B14BK04 has expired unfortunately. Think I would have gone ahead if it was working. Spent the last two days going over this thread and scavenging for codes but I seem to have missed this one.

If somebody can post, next time a working code comes up I shall do the same.

They are speaking bullsh*t. As long as you got emailed your membership details after calling British Cycling phone number then that is valid. I asked three stores and all staff said they would accept that.
The store I actually used it in had a old BC voucher code in a staff-till book that they referred to.

The vouchers have been on the BC website for at least 12 months, I used one when buying a Pure Highway 300 DAB radio, around this time last year.

I think it's fairly new. The guy in Halfords the other day mentioned me showing a voucher, but then quickly corrected himself, saying i just need to show my membership card now. From that I take it it's a change that's happened very recently. Stick to your guns.

Why didn't you ask for a manager and show him BC term on the phone? I suggest to come back during the week so the staff can ring their HQ, get hammered and offer some freebies on top of your 10% BC discount :smile:

Hello,

I went today to Halfords and a employee there said she cannot offer 10% BC discount unless I get a printable voucher from BC.
I went on BC website and it says "Simply present your valid British Cycling membership card at the till when you make your purchase to obtain a 10% discount." and they don't offer printable vouchers.

So basically I can't use the 10% so far... I'll try to speak again to BC & Halfords but doesn't seem very pleasant.

Thanks to the OP - I made a great saving on a couple of bikes today.

FYI, here's my breakdown and current discount codes.

British Cycling membership
Bronze Membership, Senior Rider £20.00
Promotional Code (CYCLESCH 5.33 discount) £-5.33
Total (including introductory discount) £13.20
Call the British cycling contact number and they will email you proof of membership. Print and take to Halfords for 10% off.

*I think this is expired now* 10% off all Bikes Voucher discount code on Halfords website. Use reserve and collect service.
B14BK04

Use Quidco. I got £24.27 cashback.
Bought £840 worth of gift vouchers for £756 via select.halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk with discount code NRTSCHAL13 (Saving = £84.00).

Halfords have a 3 for 2 (cheapest item free) on cycle accessories at the moment too. So I stocked up on a couple of lids, pump, etc.

In summary I got a couple of new bikes for £642 instead of £900

Cheers!

Anyone know if Halfords are going to have any more offers on bikes in the next week or two? There have been a few recently, but none at the moment. Really want a 10% off all bikes or something along those lines, that I can combine with the voucher and BC discounts again.

Need to buy another bike already :smile:

Don't worry - Halfords will accept any amount in their gift vouchers, there is no limit on single purchase as they are treated as cash.

I'm thinking of purchasing a bike that costs £1599.99 what if I buy that many vouchers and they refuse to take them all

I think you will be fine, see above.

Hi

Almost ready to buy new bike on here by following the instructions on here (thanks!)

At the minute there is a 10% off all bikes (quidco code).
Anyone had any luck with using this and bc membership together?

Ta

Well. They they tried to say no to the BC discount. They said, as of start of April the terms had changed and it 100% cannot be stacked against other online discounts like the £60 off £600 spend that just finished.

Anyway. They quickly changed their minds when I said I wouldn't take the bike :smile:

Also, the cheap £1 set of lights that I reserved to take my spend to £600, werent on stock. So they gave me a £25 set instead!

That's about £625 worth of kit for about £420.
Cheers again Senukas.

Thanks. I am just not sure of the £60 off a £600 spend will be classed as a web exclusive? And was a bit confused that BC don't give you a voucher any more, you just present the card.

Will let people know. I guess if I go in and they say no to the BCdiscount, I call their bluff and cancel the order. That might change their mind.

This point was already discussed - in short you will be fine and 10% BC will go on top of other discounts. If it is web exclusive and home delivery only item then BC discount won't apply.
And please share your experience later on :smile:

This is brilliant. Thanks OP.

One possible issue (or not). I have become a member of British Cycling. I logged into my account expecting there to be a downloadable discount voucher. But, it just says....

How to get your discount:
Simply present your valid British Cycling membership card at the till when you make your purchase to obtain a 10% discount.
Please note: this discount is only available in store. You can reserve products online then receive the discount when you collect and pay in store - presenting your British Cycling membership card. If there is a special online price, unfortunately the discount cannot be applied on top in store. Excludes all website only prices and deals.
If you haven’t received your membership card yet, call the membership team on 0161 274 2010 for an e-mailed copy.

....that's fine, I can get them to email me my card, but the terms seem slightly different to those mentioned in this thread. I had the £60 off a £600 cycling spend automatically added to my order (offer ends tonight). Does that mean Halfords will refuse the BC 10% as I have already had that discount?

Hi Senukas
Thanks for the quick reply and the contact info, order done,
Had the same problems as other people with the card and bank blocking it
Thanks for posting this
Ken

Hi
Reset my password on the voucher site, now not excepting it. Have tried to use forgot password and all I get is a email saying your password is:
Also can not see contact us link.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Give them a ring. You can place order over the phone as well.
" If you have any questions about your order please contact us at [email protected]buyvouchers.net or call us at 0844 8009507 Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm PST."

Hi

Never mind, just spoke to them. As the website failed the first time round I never got to the Visa Verification stage and it just stopped there without explicitly telling me so. Tried it a second time and it's gone through properly :-)

Contact your card issuer and ask them to unblock the retailer... Your payment was blocked... Once they do that wait at least 30 minutes before resubmitting the order.

Hmm - I'm not sure if those posts apply to my situation. It actually sat on the spinning progress thing for ages - so long, in fact that I refreshed the page whereupon the sale got added to my order history but with "pending payment" - so does that mean it's been declined, or that it's doing its normal thing? I've not had a specific 'blocked' message, but then I'm not sure if I should have done, or if I would had the page loaded properly during the sale.

Have you got a contact number for them so I can check?

If your card was not blocked by the issuer (happens a lot with this retailer) you will get vouchers next working day by RM Special delivery. I'm not entirely sure about order cut off time but think it was 5pm... Anyway if not tomorrow then Thursday definitely... Also check your card balance, if the amount is pending then you are fine. Otherwise see post 348 :smile:

Have noticed that Halfords have £20 off a £200 spend at the moment. With the vouchers thing that makes it £162 for a £200 bike... hot! It also means you get a similar deal to the bike trade in thing, without having to trade in a bike.

I've bought the vouchers online and it's currently "pending payment"... is that normal and how long does it take to clear? Will I get my vouchers next day if ordering around 4PM or will it be later in the week?

Just to add, Halfords have a 10% trade in for any bike until 24th march, the bikes being recycled to Africa. A few conditions see leaflet

A cheeky ask but does anyone in Cardiff have a British Cycling membership card I could make use of for the 10% discount?

Would I be right in thinking that the British Cycling membership isn't worth it on a cheap £200 bike - I'm better off just getting the 10% off the vouchers?

Senukas/edwoodwood - just wanted to say thanks very much for your help - the voucher order has gone through and should be delivered tomorrow (overall I've got a £1k bike for £700). Cheers :-)

I know its 19%, but close enough

Please see posts 310, 311 and 312 above, it will explain how to deal with declined card issue. :wink:

Thanks for this - the discount is showing but I've tried twice now and it wont go through when I pay at the checkout? Checked my credit card company and they haven't declined it - it just thinks about it for 30 seconds and then returns me back to the start? Any ideas?

Just trying to buy the Halfords vouchers at halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk/ and can't see the discount code box! I've registered and am logged in. When I add vouchers and go to my cart there isn't a discount code box down the left hand side. I've tried Chrome and IE, clearing cart, logging out and logging in again etc... anyone else having the same problem? BTW you can get a Cycle Scheme discount for British Cycling using the code CYCLESCH. With that and the direct debit discount the £20 membership is down to £13.20.

EDIT> Should have read the instructions... website is select.halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk - still appears to be working great!

Firstly, what a great thread! Tried the above (and the right SELECT site) but no 10% discount box showing - any ideas as this is a great idea!

Any should give 10% - MCOUNTHal09, ELGHAL13, NRTSCHAL13

Beat me to that :face_with_monocle:
Can't believe it is still on 8 months since my first post, glad that so many people saved hundreds of pounds (or were coerced to spend hundreds by the potential discount)...

Thanks edwoodwood. I can see the discount code box, (and this might be a numpty question !), but what discount code do I enter for the Halfords 10% discount? Thanks in advance :-)

Hey Darren... You have to register for the select, do all the registration confirmation stuff. login, go to the homepage of the select site and then choose your vouchers. When it shows you cart you should see the discount code box on the left under your cart contents. You have to login before you start the process!

Thanks Senukas. Took a little bit of sorting, but well worth it with the savings. Just picked up a Voodoo Bizango for about £430 instead of £600 not including the BC membership.

Thanks Senukas, brilliant deal.

Must add my sincere thanks too.... Worked perfectly for me.. Picked up my bike last night.. Carrera Crossfire.. Down to £250... I ended up getting it for £180. Plus the £13.20 to BC. of course.

Just wanted to say that this deal worked out great for me. Cheers Senukas!

Thank you edwoodwood , have now joined BC for £13.20 , first step in getting a decent MTB :smile:

It's always this price!

Still working for me and a big thanks for this post just got. Hoodoo Voodoo for £365, fancied the bizango but the 18" frame was too big for me so went for a 16" voodoo. Great saving for a few clicks on the net and a great bike for just over 350 quid. Granted I did have to buy the bike membership but you do get 10% of everything in halfords so going to get that 18 pound back.

Oh yes it works now after login lol thanks :smile:

Just tried - all three codes still work fine. Try to clear browser temporary data, also you can only apply code after logging in. Codes can be used multiple times on the same account.

Is the business gift voucher 10% off only can be used once? It worked last month but todays isnt working any of the codes!

The only discount I know is already in the post - you need to apply through Cycle Scheme.

Just wondering if there is a new discount code yet for the British Cycling membership, also how is the people who bought the Boardman MTB getting on with them ?
thanks

Follow this link select.halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk
To obtain discount on gift vouchers you need to register with Select site first, then put all the vouchers you need to the basket and go to the basket screen where on left hand side you will see box to apply 10% discount code. Hope this helps.

Could anyone let me know where you get the 'voucher' section of this deal?

Managed to bag myself a Boardman Hybrid Team from the Boardman clearance for only £421.20 instead of £599.99 using all discounts available on this thread.
Price of bike £599.99
10% off online code(now expired) £540
10% off British Cycling voucher £486
10% off gift vouchers £437.40
£16.20 from Quidco £421.20

Had to wait 3 weeks for another bike from another store because the original one was damaged when I went to collect it. For the inconvenience I was offered some free accessories so also managed to get £50 worth of lights and they also fitted the bike with a Lizard Skin chain protector. Love a good deal. A big thank you to senukas and all the helpful posts in this thread. Remember, if you know of a good deal or discount code, don't assume everyone knows about it, share it like senukas did so we can all benefit from it(except the retailers that is).

If your card payment wasn't blocked by the bank (and you would know straight away) then you will get your order next working day by RM Special delivery. Status will remain as Processing, probably just a bug in their system.

I don't think the status ever changes on the web site. You should expect to receive them today, Royal Mail Special Delivery (Signed for).

How long does it take for the vouchers to arrive? I ordered them yesterday morning and the order went through but is still saying processing. I used MCOUNTHal09.

The clarks hydraulic brakes are quite poor on the kraken (same as what was on my Vulcan) and would possibly need replacing sooner rather than later.

I have updated the post. Sorry but I don't have other codes to get discount on BC membership.

Confirmed that COUNCIL2 is now out of date. Is there another code?

Cheers

I'll be getting a Hoodoo if that helps Faz.

Does anyone know of any British Cycling codes that work??
COUNCIL2 no longer does! :disappointed:

Hi guys, any thoughts on which is the better bike overall: The carrera kraken or the voodoo hoodoo? Both are currently £449.99 at the moment, the hoodoo has got a 10% off so is normally £499.99. Both come down to £410 with the spend the save.

Links to both bikes:

Hoodoo: halfords.com/web…499

Kraken: halfords.com/web…499

Spec wise both seem similar. Guy in Halfords suggested the Hoodoo is the better bike, but the overall review scores say otherwise? I'm aware the Hoodoo has been downspecced since the previous year..

Thanks for any help :smile:

Ah, that makes sense.

Thanks

It refers to the fact that you can't use BC discount to buy Halfords (and other companies) gift vouchers in-store. The questions was discussed in previous posts, no need to be nervous :smile:

I've just printed off the 10% BC voucher and noticed it said in the small print "Cannot be used in conjunction with Halfords & third party vouchers" ?

Just to add to this, if your card doesn't go through the first time unblock it with the bank then wait like senukas mentioned, I tried again straight away a few more times and Halfords Business services flagged my card as fraud. I rang up and they said trying within an hour of the first attempt caused this.
Because I had attempted mine a few times it was actually fully blocked which apparently can take days to work again, I ended up having to use another card on a separate account and separate IP address as I was told any of these things could link back to the account flagged as fraud.

Thanks carlos
Unfortunately it is quite common problem with the gift voucher provider - if your transaction is rejected please ring your card provider so they can remove bar, give 30 minutes and it will go through.

Your bank or credit card company is flagging up the transaction as potentially fraudulent, the same thing happened to me with Barclaycard. I phoned them straight up and after a few security questions they cleared the alert and I was able to purchase the vouchers.

Hope this helps.

I've just tried three times to order £400 of vouchers via Halfords Business services (using each of the discount codes shown to get 10% off.) The discount appears fine on screen but when I come to finally checkout via credit card it just comes back with an "Order Cancelled" message. I'd already registered previously and logged in fine. Any ideas as to the reason for failure anyone?

Picked up a Boardman CX Comp with just over 25% off. Very easy once you put all the pieces in place. No issues with stacking Halfords £60 off £600 (add something small to cover the extra penny!), British Cycling discount and the 10% off vouchers.

Thanks to the OP.

I very recently bought a Voodoo Bizango using this, actually reserved the bike at £599, got £40 off due to an online offer, then used my british cycling memberhsip 10% discount coupon and paid with the halfords vouchers I got at 10% off too. I hadn't realised but if I'd spent £1 more I would have saved £60.

Total price £452. If you include the cost of British Cycling membership then it's £472 but I will easily get my moneys worth out of the halfords voucher as I buy a few bits and pieces from Halfords throughout the year.

All in I bought

Bike
2 tubes
shock pump
4 water bottles
chain oil/grease
gt85 ptfe spray

total price £650 give or take a few pennies

Total actual paid - £498.

Thanks to the OP!!

thanks DRharvey you've made a very anxious man happy,i see you living up to ya name DR lol

cheers mate

thanks DR you made a very anxious man very happy lol......living up to your name.

thanks mate

You only buy the vouchers through an employee scheme. The vouchers that arrive will be the same as the ones anyone can buy instore as gifts. Don't worry, the staff don't care where they came from as long as the bike is paid for. Good tip to go close to closing time to use your british cycling on top of any other discounts as the staff don't want the hassle of refusing it and just want to go home on time.

Just picked up my Boardman Team MTB with a saving of £210, that isn't taking into account the possible £23 cashback from topcashback. There were no problems whatsoever and they were even persuaded to throw in a free inner tube.

Thanks again Senukas.

I feel your pain Geoff having only just done it myself, but you'll be fine. :smile:

Worked fine for me, but I did make sure I went into the shop at 7.45 pm just as they were getting ready to shut up shop. They rushed the order and didn't ask any questions.

alright guys done everything above going good so far,but just concerned about the vouchers I bought they will probs turn up tomorrow,
but my concern is "EMPLOYEE vouchers"?

you don't need to be working there do you?

hope to god im just panicking

thanks in advance

geoff

No, i didn't anyway. The guy asked if it was a bike to work scheme bike, so maybe the vouchers are used to get a bike on that scheme to. At the end of the day its a legit scheme put in place as an employee benefit by certain companies, so a lot of people must do it.

Who cares what staff thinks :wink: Just make sure you get them in £20 nominations otherwise they will count forever :sunglasses:

Thanks for the replies.

I need to order about £900 worth to get my bike... Do you get a strange look when you turn up and pay with a wedge of vouchers?

Don't worry, voucher scheme is safe. Pay with credit card for extra peace of mind. And yes, delivery is by RM Special delivery which is insured so really no worries.

I've done it too! Saved almost 30% on a £600 Bizango, and with very little effort.
The vouchers are sent Royal Mail special delivery, which seems to be next day as long as you order by early afternoon.

It works... I've done it. They come really quick to. If you ordered them early enough today it wouldn't surprise me if they were with you tomorrow.

I'm keen to purchase a Boardman from Halfords using the 10% discounted vouchers, but I do feel a bit nervous about buying a large quantity of them :neutral_face:

it will be on your halfords confirmation email

just a quick question as never used quidco before says:

•For Reserve and Collect purchases you must present your Reserve and Collect reference when collecting the goods

where do I find this reference?

all help truly appreciated

ps sorry for being a bit thick

I reserved my bike on Wednesday and was supposed to be kept till the following Thursday (Picked it up on Saturday). Im glad I did as it had 10% off so £26.90 not just the £20. Also bought the cycling membership for £9 which saved me another £24.21 (£13.21) and also got 2.5% instore from Quidco.

All was easy and happy with purchase and pleased with the OPs post. Originally skipped over this post 6 months ago as it looked hard work, but as I said earlier, took less than 10 mins to sort out.

oooops sorry 3 times

thanks for the reply mate......arrrr bummer!!....just realised I haven't applied for the british cycling yet,and was on phone to Halfords help line (pahaha ) well on phone lol....and they said "sale possible might end tomorrow"!! she wasn't sure!!

which means I wouldn't get the british cycling voucher/certificate or what ever I would need in time?

any one know if sale is on for longer??

not dowting you mate after all you are a DR Harvey lol but anyone else can vouch for them all working???

great help mate

No no, they will accept British Cycling . I tried to use my British Cycling when stacked up with everything else , but when they said no I told them I only had enough funds to pay with the discount also taken into consideration . Surely enough they obliged. Didn't want to lose the sale I guess. Don't take no for an answer.
£500 - £40 Halfords offer =£440 (need to spend £600 to get £60 off)
£440 - 10% British cycling =£396
£396 (order this much in vouchers) - 10% vouchers discount = £356.40 (this is what you pay)
£356.40 - 11.80 Quidco = £344.52
Think this is the correct calculation.
Good luck.

well £400

as I would HAVE to buy £450 ...then -10% with code = £400

correct yeah?

thanks senukas great stuff,so Im guessing :

£500 bike
-10% sale at halifords
-10% off gift vouchers
-3% ordering on quidco
=£388 total

as surely there not going to accept the british cycling 10% off ASWELL?

THANKS

for your help senukas been a great help

geoff

Yes, gift vouchers will be accepted, they are treated in the same way as cash.

hey guys ive just noticed Halfords have the £600 save £60...£400 save £40 deal e.t.c on again im just wondering if anyone knows that the gift vouchers bought as above with 10% off would work on top of this deal.

any info wud be greatfully for

thanks

geofff

I have just reserved a bike at my local store it states that it will be ready to pick up tomorrow (Saturday) but will hold it until next Saturday so a full week. I am sure you will be OK, If you have already ordered the vouchers they should be with you within a couple of days.

And thanks again to Senukas I have saved big time on my second purchase because of this thread, mind you I am not quite so sure my wife thinks the same way, she thinks this thread has encouraged me to spend money :wink:

Halfords say Reserve and Collect orders are available for pick up within an hour (although bikes are more likely next day) but how long will they hold them for on Reserve and Collect once ordered? Waiting for vouchers to arrive but want to order a bike while they've got one in stock...

Well thank you twice :grin:

senukas=OP :wink:

Thanks senukas and OP. Signed up, Paid, Printed and emailed over Temp Card, all done in under ten mins.

About a week by post. You can call them instead and ask to email you a temporary pass. Remember you need to print voucher off BC website before you go to shop. Many people reported that Halfords staff do not check card when you produce BC discount coucher.

When you join the British Cycling Membership, how long does it take to get the discount 'card'? I reserved a bike a few days ago when it had 10% off (more than it is now) but if I can get this too, even better.

Given that Halfords have their yearly cycling offer, e.g. Spend 400 save 40, has anyone had any luck using the British Cycling discount on top of it?

halfords.com/web…ale

Try to copy and paste the word COUNCIL 2 for your discount at British Cycling. Worked for me.
As for Halfords voucher discount, enter appropriate code in box which asks for discount code and not gift code. This will be on the shopping basket page where you view the amount of vouchers you have and not on the payment page. Hope this helps.

just tried but comes up like this: COUN-CIL2-____ ......code not found?

also at select.halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk/ its going to postal address etc,but going to card details and I cant see anywhere to put other codes in??

cheers for ya help


I should be putting this in where says ...... gift voucher...right??

thanks for reply anyhow

COUNCIL2 should give you half price, also choosing to pay by dd knocks of more...

any codes or discounts for the british cycling bronze pack

thanks in advance

any codes or discounts for the british cycling bronze pack

thanks in advance

Ahhh, you missed Quidco/TCB click&collect cashback (_;)
Anyway £400+ saving is massive and you probably spent less that an hour to do so. Well done :smile:

Thanks soo much for the info on this thread, I have just managed to buy a brand new boardman mtb fs 2014 at a bargain price...

Original price £1599.99

I found the online 10% off code B14BK01 and did click and collect in store. £1439.99

I then got the bronze BC membership (£9 with a code 'COUNCIL2' and direct debit discount) and took the 10% voucher with me which was taken off instore. 1295.99.

I paid for the bike with the gift vouchers which I bought from select.halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk with the code 'NRTSCHAL13' giving me another 10% off. Making payment through the site is tricky tho due to the security checks by your bank, so make an account and try to purchase ONCE ONLY (trying more than once may activate the site to block your card too which is almost impossible to overcome) if it doesn't go through you will have to ring up your bank to allow payments to this company, then try again once cleared, it should then go throughout hour a problem. 1166.39

So that's £433.60 or 27.1% off a brand new 2014 model!!! AND to add to it I managed to blag a years free maintenance plan too! A very happy guy! Thanks again for the info!

Updated.

The Bronze british cycling membership now appears to be £20 rather than £15.

I was Lucky, I went into Halfords in Sheffield and they had a medium. I could only find mountain, hybrid and road bikes online and I wanted the Hybrid Team to go with my road bike but in the end CX just seemed the better option. Go into your nearest Halfords and they can check stock for you from other branches, I think there might be a number online which you can use.

I know I'm probably a bit late to the party here but where did you find the 2013 CX models? As I only saw road and mountain bikes on offer online I gave up on that path fairly quickly.

Got a Boardman CX Team 2013 model.

Orig Price: £899.99

20% off "End Of Season" Deal: £719

10% BC Discount: £647

10% Voucher Discount through work:£ 582

They also priced matched a helmet for me with their internet price and allowed me to use the BC discount on that. So happy with that. Could not use Quidco as Halfords website showed they were out of stock.

Thanks to the people on this website as I did not know about the BC discount :smile:

Quidco currently have voucher code B14BK01 to get 10% off. Also their cashback is increased to 4.5%.

Very happy for you :grin:
If you happy to do so could you share your Lotus discount code for gift vouchers please? I assume this is generic for the whole Lotus community out there. We only have 3 codes at the moment which would end at some point...

Thanks so much to the OP and everyone on this thread that has offered advice on this deal. I've just picked up my branding spanking new Boardman Hybrid Team from Halfords.

Orig Price: £750

20% off "End Of Season" Deal: £600

10% BC Discount: £540

10% Voucher Discount Via Lotus Enthusiast Website: £486

3% Quidco Cashback (£18) - I reserved via click and collect: TOTAL PRICE PAID: £468

To say I am happy with the deal is a massive understatement! :stuck_out_tongue:

No quibbles at all in my local Halfords (Maidstone) when I presented my BC voucher. They didn't even ask to see my membership card. The guy was even apologetic when he said he'd need to count my Halfords vouchers - they were in £10 denominations, so a massive wad.

Happy Days!

Ok so eventually found one.... However went to pick it up and it was faulty to. Steering bearing I think. It's almost like there aren't any in there as the whole steering column thing moves when you brake. However the British cycling discount was applied ok so I got the full discount. I'm just waiting for them to fix it now. Should hear back tomorrow.

It doesn't bode well for there reputation of being a bit shoddy when it comes to bike checking and building. I was told it had a full check today but it's clear it hadn't had even the most basic of checks. Now been offered an accessory of choice on top due to my inconvenience. Maybe a nice lock will be brought home tomorrow also. We shall see.

Don't worry too much, worst case you will need to wait until Easter for another round of discounts but at least you won't need to worry about the gift vouchers.

Cheers guys!

Unfortunately i've just been called today to advise me that my bike ive reserved is actually a damaged customer return. Brilliant! I'm now phoning round trying to find a better one. A bit of a pain given that ive now forked out for the vouchers. OIh well, i guess thats the risk you take :disappointed:

Just been in my local Halfords and the 2013 Boardmans - marked as End Of Season Sale - are marked up as 20% off. Therefore I'm assuming it's not a "web only offer". Hope not, as I collect my with my BCC discount on Friday.

Yup i will do:)

The british cycling discount does say "Even sale items" from what i remember. However it states that you cant use it agaisnt web only deals, which are never specifically stated so you have no idea what is a web only deal without venturing to the shop to compare prices.

Anyone know if the Boardman clearance deal was on "in store"? Boardman comp was £519 on the website but never got to see any in store to check if it was the same.

Thanks senukas. Just picked up a Carrera Zelos Limited Edition Xmas and Elite Cycle Trainer for about £280! The British cycling discount will no doubt come in useful again in the next year, so well worth £6.75. The staff in shop didn't query a thing so really pleased with it all and thanks for the support from the OP once again

You can always try...
Discounted gift vouchers and Quidco/TBC is already giving nice additional discount on sale bikes. Just consider 10% BC card discount as possible addition... As you can see some people managed to stack all discounts, some did need to come back and talk to different advisor before getting what they wanted....

Anyone managed to use this on the Boardman Clearance that is on at the moment? If so which shop allowed this?

Thanks for drawing attention to that, may have to think before I order next week! I'm in the same boat waiting to receive vouchers to place an order, but getting a smashing deal could really just depend on if the staff take exception to all the discounts being used at once as you've said. This was alluded to in post 201.

What's the likelihood of Halfords having a significant bike discount in the last week of January like they have for the last couple of years?

24.01.13 - 04.02.13 Spend £100 on Bikes & Accessories and Save £10
24.01.13 - 04.02.13 Spend £200 on Bikes & Accessories and Save £20
24.01.13 - 04.02.13 Spend £400 on Bikes & Accessories and Save £40
24.01.13 - 04.02.13 Spend £600 on Bikes & Accessories and Save £60

26.01.12 - 01.02.12 Spend £100 on Bikes & Bike Accessories save £10
26.01.12 - 01.02.12 Spend £150 on Bikes & Bike Accessories save £15
26.01.12 - 01.02.12 Spend £200 on Bikes & Bike Accessories save £25
26.01.12 - 01.02.12 Spend £400 on Bikes & Bike Accessories save £60

(I assume these were in-store as well as online).

I'm ready to buy myself a new bike using this deal, but I'm tempted to hold out and wait for that extra bit. Against this there's a risk that one of the other discounts will go stop in the meantime. I need the following planets to line up:
1. End of January discount to happen - else I'll have just waited for nothing
2. Enough notice of the offer to order the bike, get the vouchers and collect before the offer ends.
3. Bike to be in stock at one of my local Halfords to order Click and Collect (mainly to get Topcashback but also to allow time for the vouchers to arrive before pick-up)
4. Valid voucher code available for Halfords for Business Select at the time.
5. Valid voucher from British Cycling. The current one ends at the end of the month, when do they tend to issue new ones?
6. Halfords to honour stacking all of the above.

Cheers senukas,I have just tried from a different PC and it is working.

I tried from my home PC this morning using chrome and Internet Explorer also using my Nexus7 and couldn't get on to the Halfords Business services site. out of curiosity will try again when I get home later to see if indeed the site was down when I first tried.

Now the hard part it to either wait and see if there is anymore discount in the near future on the Voodoo Bizango, or to take the plunge now and grab one before they go back out of stock for months.

I'm afraid it is just you... The site works fine, just checked...

Is it just me unable to connect? Or is Halfords Business Services site down?

No, this voucher scheme is not connected with tesco

HI
Is it possible to use tesco club card points with these codes.

Thanks for that. I should have checked the thread first before panicking, just had an epic fail with the telephone banking security number so will try the debit card next!

Edit: False alarm, codes still work, didn't realise I already had the vouchers in my basket from a few days ago where I used the code :wink:

Thanks for clearing this matter for everyone, I wasn't certain, cheers :grin:

On hold means that your credit card company has blocked the transaction as potentially fraudulent. You need to contact your cc co and get them to unblock transactions tor BUYVOUCHERS.NET then you need to do whole transaction again from scratch. You need to wait a couple of hours or so after your original attempt or the voucher site will block the transaction!

How is everyone combining web exclusive deals with vouchers? I ordered a £23.99 helmet for click and collect and when I showed them my British Cycling 10% voucher they looked up the item on the system which popped up an instore price £59.99, they said I can only redeem the voucher on the instore price and not the £23.99 web price I had reserved the item on. Obviously I paid the web price but I want to order a new bike and combine my voucher with any web deal but from from the above experience it doesn't seem like I can.

It was my bank being overprotective as usual! Had a call from the fraud detection team this morning to check I had placed the order. Ordered again and gone through now :stuck_out_tongue:

Ok I'll check it tomorrow, cheers.

If you have ordered over weekend then they will only process it on Monday hence the On Hold. If that doesn't change by midday just give them a ring to confirm that all is well.

I've been keeping an eye on it for a good price X) Got the Boardman HT Pro for £565 if TCB comes through :grin:
I've ordered my vouchers but it says 'On Hold'. Do you know what this means?

Very good spot, was going to update info but you beat me :smile:

Boardman clearance has just gone to 20% off, plus the spend and save, brings them down to a good price with this deal :grin:

TCB is also 4.54% for Halfords at the moment.

Hope mine gets paid as no code was used cos it was automatically knocked off and quidco also mentioned the 2 hour deal so fingers crossed

Well, my quidco has been declined. Can't really complain as it does say it may be declined if used with codes not found on Quidco.com.

I think the 10% weekends are meant to be a surprise. I found out about the last one when I was instore. I asked when it was and the manager said "I can't tell you it's this weekend". Bless

5 months and deal is still going strong :smile:
btw, ppl please share more codes for gift vouchers :wink:

Thank you op, worked at the weekend ordered vouchers Sunday came Tuesday via special delivery. In total saved around 30% off full price. Used Current web deal spend and save, as bike was 1p under I added another spend and save item to qualify for the extra £10 off. When through quidco for cash back. Also had the 2 hour deal last week for another extra 10% off everything and then 10% off vouchers in payment. Although silly of me I did slip up and only ordered £20 and not £1 which I should have done. Anyhow good saving :smile:

£437 oO

Gutted I missed out. Any idea when the next 10% weekend is on?

When I used to work in Sainsburys we had two types of gift vouchers. The ones sold instore and the ones sold through corporate schemes (Some people got them instead of percentages of wages or something like that).

The ones sold instore had an R in the code for retail and the others had C for corporate.

We weren't supposed to give change on the corporate ones as they would have been sold at a reduced rate. But most people didn't know, notice or care and so gave them the change.

So maybe thereis a similar thing for these Halfords vouchers that lets them know they have been bought at a discounted rate but again shop staff are either unaware of the rules or couldn't care less.

When you get the confirmation after ordering it says the bike will be built and ready by 4pm in a couple of days and they will hold it for a further 7 days
Phone the store and ask for another date - before they have built it
They are usually pretty good and will do it if you go in and pay a deposit (£10)
Worth remembering that they are flat out at the moment as we get nearer Christmas
An offer to collect after Christmas might be accepted but you will probably need to offer a larger deposit to swing it

Can you choose a collection date because when I go to reserve it, it says it is available to collect in 2 days?

Yes you can
The Carrera was web exclusive - extra £30 off before I started loading up
The Voodoo was even more of a special - web exclusive for 2 hours, 12 til 2 today, Hafords had spend and save offer AND an additional 10% off!
The bike was £599.99 so to get the £60 off I added some brake cable end covers fo 99p (don't need them but without them discount would have been £40)
Then 10% web exclusive discount on top
Then British Cycling, then vouchers

My daughter went on an educational visit to the hospital and got a Halfords paper voucher for 20% off any cycle helmet, I think this is the kind of voucher that cannot be used with BS discount
Incidentally, you can buy gift CARDS in branch with vouchers and load them up to any value up to £1000

Please bear in mind when arranging your collection that Halfords have been known to start a year end sale on Christmas Eve on line

Halfords should honour any reduction within 7 days of purchase and if you are still waiting to collect your reservation they will adjust it to reflect the cheaper price - but only if you ask them!
The Voodoo is being collected 29/12 so I am holding a fantastic deal safe in the knowledge that if the price drops even further on Boxing Day I will get that price!

So they will still accept British Cycling discount if it says web exclusive which is the promotion they have got on now?

HUKDealer to the bone :grin:
Cheers

DON'T WORRY
I have just successfully stacked discounts on a Carrera bike and paid in store today
Bike was a flash deal on line
I also used a 10% off discount code for all bikes obtained from Quidco
The 10% British Cycling discount was applied in store
Paid with vouchers bought at 10% discount
Also just reserved a Voodoo Bizango at another store with some very tasty on line flash discounts and they confirmed no problem with British Cycling discount there either

I know people have used stacking, I was pointing out that it looks like that aspect of the deal has changed. I agree that there is still a good saving to be made so thank you for posting it initially as I, for one, would definitely not have known about it. :smile:

People have reported successfully completing full code stacking (10% Halfords national weekend discount + 10% BC discount + 10% off gift vouchers + quidco/tcb) and you can always try but even without 10% discount days this makes a healthy saving for less than 30 minute work...
‌ :sunglasses:

Ah, ok, i hope that's the case and I'm wrong. It's a shame they have stopped people using the BC discount on top of their 10% off promotions (thats what it looks like anyway).

I only joined to post the change in the BC discount terms as I know some people on here have used it in conjunction with Halfords 10% off promotions (which i was going to do)

Well said, you can't use BC discount to buy gift vouchers in the store but it is NOT preventing you to obtain the discount for other goods and pay in Halfords gift vouchers.

Yes, they look like they're stopping stacking on top of existing Halford's promotions - how that is interpreted remains to be seen.

BUT when it says "Cannot be used in conjunction with Halfords and Third Party vouchers" it doesn't mean gift vouchers. It means other discount vouchers.

Wrong... Members of British Cycling can save 10% off everything at Halfords (excluding gift vouchers) to spend on any products in store, including sale items.

The new voucher dated 1st December to Janury 31st says, and I quote, 4. Cannot be used in conjunction with Halfords and Third Party vouchers, C2W scheme vouchers and additional promotional discounts.
To me that sound like use the halfords vouchers or use the British cycling voucher but not both together.

The British Cycling Voucher has changed its terms now, it says it cannot be used in conjunction with Halfords vouchers, Third party vouchers, C2W scheme vouchers and other promotional discounts. It looks like they have cottoned on to the stacking that was going on, i'm gutted because i have 800 quids worth of Halfords vouchers which i was going to use with the British Cycling one when the bike i want comes back into stock.

Just had another look now and it is on there. Could have sworn they weren't on there the other day :grin:

Thanks for the British Cycling code (COUNCIL2).

This reduces the cost of RIDE membership from £28 a year to £12.60 (£14 minus an additional 10 percent if you pay by Direct Debit).

Heat added.

I believe so. I bought the last one in East Anglia and that was about a month ago.

Have they stopped selling this model now? I can only see the 2014 models on the halfords website.

Any cashback claims would need to be supported by Halfords order number which you have. Obviously you can create an account but that is for your convenience :wink:

Thank you. Everything sorted. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.

I got the payment tracked by TCB. My only concern is I reserved the bike without registering an account at Halfords. Will I get the cashback paid later , or do I need to register an account to be eligible?

Thanks

Here are contact details you need:
[email protected]buyvouchers.net or call at 0844 8009507 Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm PST

Just give them a ring, they can process your order on the phone as well or confirm that all is fine with your first payment.
‌ :smile:

Damn. I got some error during the payment process of the voucher.
Got error in page loading during entering my card details. I clicked refresh and back buttons and the payment page is gone.
I checked My Account tab, and I can see my order there. But it is in Pending status.

Payment Method
Credit/Debit Card (PayPoint)

How can I cancel that order so that I can reorder?
Anyone got email or contact no. ?

Heat added. Cheers OP. Great post.

My vouchers arrived today via special delivery (ordered Midnight Monday). Bike ordered for collection Saturday (last day of the current British Cycling voucher).
This weekend is a 10% weekend (confirmed in store).

So I'm getting a Voodoo Bizango (£600) for £437. Very pleased.

I'm glad it did work for you :smile:

Just to confirm.Its all ok.Just got the vouchers(one day late tho).Sorry for making confusion.Thank you Senukas.Good luck and enjoy your shopping guys.

Vatt

Try to use Internet Explorer when placing your order or simply give them a ring and put order over the phone. You would need to quote discount scheme code to obtain the discount...

select.halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk is working fine and is designed for special discount schemes Halfords offers. It is not over.
Now as your order is in Processing state you will get it next working day, I can assure you of this. Btw all my gift voucher orders are in the same state even after delivery...

Also try to use Internet Explorer and not Chrome/Firefox as it seems the site likes it better...

Halfords no longer sells Gift Vouchers and Jordan Media responsible for select.halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk/
do not use this link anymore.Its halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk/ now and here they don't use discount codes anymore.Looks like good days are over for us.Iv been on hold on old website on first payment as-well but manage to pay after second time.Now its says processing but im worry its not gonna go any further.Probably they just gonna refund me instead of sending vouchers.

No, did not manage to sort it out.
By the way, I think that Halfords will have a 10% discount during the following weekend.

Did you sort it out as min I also on hold?

Can't comment on Halfords promotions...
As for gift voucher value for a £700 bike just work this way:
£700 x 0.9 = £630 to pay in gift vouchers
£630 x 0.9 = £567 that's what you would pay for the gift vouchers
You can always add cash/card on top of gift vouchers when paying in store.
I hope this helps :smile:

I'm looking to buy the CX Team. Will Halfords offer 10% discount nearer to Xmas/New Year ?

How can I buy the exact gift voucher for the price? Can I add some cash on top of the gift voucher? Or buy extra gift voucher and receive change in cash?

Sorry but no clue here

Does anybody else have problem to buy the Gift vouchers?
It does not accept any of my cards, putting my order on hold.

Love the above Boardman - I have the Team Hybrid - though a bit bruised leaving it at the train station every day....

TO CONFIRM - BC code COUNCIL2 worked for me, so it only costs .£6.75 for a years membership. Seems good.
Time to buy my son a Fireman bike! Thanks to all.

Just thought I'd say another thankyou after taking her out. Was bloody brilliant. What a bike.

As I said, well worth spending 30 minutes of your time :smile:

Got a 2012 Boardman Team Hardtail for £540 - more than chuffed. Thankyou ever so much!

Speak to the store manager you want to reserve bike and ask to keep the reserved price for an extra day or two. Other people simply bought bikes in cash, then asked for refund and bought again paying in vouchers...

Nightmare.

Why can I only reserve the bike I want for one day?

Trying to take advantage of the 10% off weekend which ends tomorrow but also need to wait for the vouchers to be delivered... What should I do guys? Really need help.

Just tried on my account - ALL codes work fine! Read the instructions starting with my post above....

DOES ANYONE HAVE THE LATEST CODE TO GET A DISCOUNT OF THE GIFT VOUCHERS AS NON SEEM TO B WORKING AT THE MOMENT THANKS

All codes do work, you need to create account first before applying any codes, just read the instructions....

Hi are there any new voucher codes available? None of the above seems to work :thinking:

Just done this. 3 weeks ago bike was 650. Now 584. This weekend extra 10% off. Then joined British cycling with discount code on Here...15 pound membership with code and introductory discount cost about 9.30.
So another 10% taken off. I have paid in full but manager happy to refund when I collect so I can pay again with 10% discounted gift vouchers! So all in all a 650 bike for about 420! Thanks for giving the heads up.
P.s.manager had no issue using voucher..

just did half price mot (£27.50 booked online) on the car whilst i asked about the bikes too - and it passed :sunglasses:

just been in scarborough branch - they are happy to apply BC discount of 10% deal on top of the !0% off deal running until monday 7/10/13.

E.g Boardman MTB Comp

Normal price = £649
10% discount due to new model give current reserve and collect in store price = £584.99
extra 10% this weekend = £526.49
BC discount 10% = £474.34
If paid will vouchers (bought at 10% off) then actual cost is £426.91
3% cashback (quidco) saves additional £12.80.
final cost is then £414.11 which is pretty good for a bike like than isn't it :stuck_out_tongue:

Get into your "HUKD mode" and insist on applying point 4 from the BC voucher :smile:

The terms are open to interpretation (from BC site)
How to get your discount:
You need to print off the below voucher and take it into your local Halfords store. You will need to take your British Cycling membership card with you to validate the voucher.
The Halfords discount is only available in store. You can reserve products online and collect in store with your printed voucher and membership card. If there is a special online price, unfortunately the discount cannot be applied on top in store. Excludes all website only prices and deals.

Fair enough, if you can't reserve the item for store pick up, then combined BC and gift voucher method does not apply. Otherwise I insist to honour it as their stores are price matching web deals. If it is national store discount day then they have no right to refuse BC discount.

Does say on the British Cycling website "This offer is only available in store. Excludes all website only prices and deals.", so Halfords would be in their rights to refuse this discount.

Ask for a manager if shop assistants refuse to accept discount. Ask to provide with full T&C's. BC discount is on top of all promotions. Maybe it just me but I haven't seen anything preventing me to reserve item for store pick up and pay then and there and apply BC voucher.

I went into my local Halfords today and was told that the BC discount wouldn't be able to be used during the 10% sale aswell???
anyone use it successfully yet?

TFL13 no longer valid for BC membership discount :disappointed:

CS13 (cycle scheme) also provides £4.67 off though Cycle Scheme

With the 10% of bikes deal (until monday 7/10/13) plus the BC 10% and voucher discount 10% and cashback there are some tempting deals.

Any other gift voucher discount codes around? Please share :smile:

This does indeed work - I bought over £600 of vouchers on Thursday, they arrived Saturday, and together with my British Cycling membership and Quidco I am now the proud owner of a Boardman Hybrid Team for £530, a saving of £220 on the price they were selling for on Wednesday!

If you're hesitating - don't - it just works, plain and simple.

To the casual im-not-sure-if-this-will-work reader of this....take it from me it DOES

Yes, you will be just fine with the email copy of your BC card, just remember you also need to print discount voucher from membership website as BC card does not give automatic discount in the store...

Vouchers came today...thank god as above littlewiz mine still show processing in my account!
Do they allow you to produce a photocopy of your BC membership in store as proof as my membership card hasn't arrived yet to get 10% discount?
Stressed.com :-(

Mine came the next day. Have bought 2 lots to date - first time to test and then 2nd time to buy more when I saw it worked :smile: Interestingly both still show as processing in my halfords business select order summary page.
Came recorded delivery so someone had to sign for them.

How long do you have to wait for the vouchers to be delivered? I've bought them 2days ago and as yet haven't received them....

You can't use BC membership to reduce the amount you pay for the gift vouchers. Membership gives further 10% only for in-store purchases and you need to print discount voucher from BC members pages. It takes about 10 days to receive BC card by post but you can call their CS and ask to send copy by email and use that in the store (if asked).

Hi senukas! I've just worked out how to buy the vouchers! Can you use your British Cycling membership to to reduce this cost? How long does it take for your membership to come through? Thanks again for help :-)

After logging in and adding required gift vouchers go to your shopping cart, on your right you will see the breakdown of your voucher order and on your left there is a Discount Codes box. Enter MCOUNTHal09 and hit "Apply coupon" to obtain 10% discount. So if you have added £300 worth of vouchers you will pay £270. Simples

shouldn't you only need to pay for 270 for 300 voucher? that's already 10% off for you?

PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP WITH MY POST ABOVE oO ???

I registered with the voucher site, select.halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk/ and put vouchers into basket but where does it ask for your discount codes to get 10% off the price of these, ie £300 in vouchers should now be £270 in cash????

MCOUNTHal09 has worked OK for me earlier today, thanks again to the OP.

HUKDealers, don't be shy and share some more gift voucher discount codes :smile:

Similar update from me. Boardman Hybrid Pro was £999 in store but £849 online. Reserve and Collect to get the web price and then 10% discount using my BC membership plus I had vouchers. So 999 in store but paid £688. Fantastic! Great bike too :smile:

I got the vodoo bantu 2011 model. it was 399 in store and 359 online. I reserved online so was charged the online price and could still use the BC discount. No questions asked. So Ive ended up paying 290 quid for a bike thats still 399 in store :wink:

Hmm - I'm getting a Voodoo Hoodoo which online is £450, £500 in store. Bit worried about the British Cycling Discount: Quote from http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/membership/article/halfords-discounts: "Excludes all website only prices and deals."

So technically, they shouldn't honour it with an online only price. We'll have to see what they do.
Still waiting for them to process my vouchers - ordered yesterday late afternoon - still at processing stage today - hopefully they do a run a day, and it's mid afternoon...

I used quidco 4% (says its tracked) reserve and pickup instore. British cycling 10% discount with bronze membership (£9.33 or so) and 10% Halfords Vouchers. I got the Boardman MX Race Hybrid for £394 (if the quidco is honoured- £20) was £500. Seems a decent bike. The new Boardman range is coming out very soon apparently so the bike could possibly be reduced also.

Came in the post this morning. 10% off with a printed copy of my BC membership worked aswell. Thanks

Wow, this is serious saving :smile:

Don't be shy to share other gift voucher discount codes :smile:

I echo the thanks.I mentioned in an earlier post the Big Bike race discount. Using that 15%, British Cycling 10% and another 10% form Halfords in store vouchers, Ive picked up a Team carbon Ltd Edition for £689 with Top cashback to come on top of that. So its worth the effort because i've certainly got one hell of a bike for the money. Thanks again

Thanks senukas and littlewiz. Just been to check some of the bikes out in store so hopefully vouchers should arrive tomorrow. Although still no payment taken from my account yet!

Ordered my vouchers yesterday morning and they arrived today - registered post. I have a Boardman Hybrid Pro on order which i have arranged to pick up to tomorrow as its £849 online at present. I have my BC discount lined up too but forgot to reserve and collect via TCB so missed out on that. Overall can't complain though and thanks to Senukas for this offer :smile:

If you have ordered in the afternoon, they might have processed your order only today. Vouchers should be with you on Friday then.

How long do the Halfords vouchers take. Ordered some yesterday and it went to 'order processing'. Checked today and it's the same and no payment has been taken from my account. Is there a way to cancel the vouchers as I'll just go to the store to purchase bike with the 10% BC (don't want to wait long incase the sale price of the bike ends)

Thanks

About 10 days but you can call them and ask to send temporary card by email which will be accepted in Halford store

Hi
How long you guys have been waiting for a British Cycling card ?? Regards

Will 15%be given off roof bars and cycle carriers?

Thank You it's working :smile:

Thanks

You need to register with the site FIRST before applying any codes. Just tried, RBSHal11 works fine.

Hi
Did anyone know valid code for the vouchers ?? Any from above it's not working :disappointed: Regards

Hi

Wish I'd done that on Friday, just my luck Halfords put the price of the bike back up to £999.99 and now the only stock they've got are the display models and the ones I looked at today are all scratched or have dinks in the frame. Local Halfords are phoning stores to see if they can source a boxed one but its not looking hopeful :disappointed:

You can order the bike then wait for the vouchers. Halfords will hold for you.

Cheers op,
first two parts done (Joined BC and ordered vouchers), just need vouchers to turn up quick as the Boardman HT Pro is rapidly disappearing and can only see 3 or 4 stores in Scotland with them in stock :disappointed:

On a side note have people got confirmation from Quidco/TCB that purchase has tracked, last time I used vouchers it got declined!!

They honour the price upon order time not collection time as the invoice is generated as you click reserve and collect at the discounted price

I'm waiting for the cycle to work scheme to become live in a couple of weeks before choosing my new bike.

I do however need a roof rack and carriers. Halfords currently have a web promotion which ends on Wednesday. Does anybody know if I do r&c would I have to get to the store by close on Wednesday or do they honour the price at the time the order is placed? It's just that it's leaving it a bit tight to get vouchers delivered etc.


Thanks

But isn't cycle to work all about saving tax i.e the payment for the bike comes out of your salary?

i did this for two boardman bikes and i can testify it worked. i've saved over £400 using this method this month alone. brilliant! best deal ever on this site for me

Then you missed out. Unlucky.

I switched off when you posted!

This is a fantastic bit of discounting and I am definitely going to use the above method to get my next bike.

But, and I feel like the mathmatics police now, when you stack all the discounts (10% online, 10% BC, 10% gift vouchers and 3% quidco) it is not the same as getting 33% off the original price. It is slightly less than 30% which of course is still amazing.

Looks like the 20% Bike Accessories code is now expired but BC members get 15% off these until end of Aug with the relevant voucher from their site

A little bit of patient work paid off well :smile: Glad you used it to the full potential.

I used this last night on one of the Voodoo bikes priced at £400, got it for like £330 in the end, plus the discount using the gift vouchers worked a treat too & QuidCo.

The staff were pretty hopeless last night in my branch (Market Harborough) so I didn't get any questions or comments about using the BC card on top of the other code (10% off).

whoop whoop - managed to get a whopping 33% off - 10% discount through BC, 10% off Halfords vouchers, 10% off through halfords website code I posted earlier & 3% Quidco.

Used the code, the BC discount and the vouchers today in Hayes. No problem at all. £500 Boardman Hybrid (reduced £50 online) came in at just under £375!! Thanks OP.

There may be a bank holiday discount but the big bike race promotion finishes on the 22nd and that will be giving out discount s as prizes so best have a vote (as long as its for Road Racers Of course!)

I switched off when you said, long winded...

Can you get the halfords discount with a junior membership?

B13BK01 code expires tonight... not sure to order now or wait and see if bank holiday brings a sale on their bikes...?

Nah, that's rubbish... I bought a Boardman the week before last. They had 10% off online so I did reserve and collect. When they had built it, I used my 10% british cycling and £450 worth of gift vouchers (that I had used the above to pay less for. I bought at Gosport Store.

I went and called customer services to check it out. The 10% british code cannot be used on top of online web discounted prices. i.e The bike i was looking at was a lot cheaper on buy and collect compared with the in store price. Then using the 10% off the web price it came down a nice bit more. From speaking to the chap on the phone he said the 10% offer is only on instore prices which may or may not be on sale etc.

Great it worked, thanks a lot!

Don't worry, my orders which were done 6-8 months ago are still showing as Processing. Vouchers will show up in no time :smile:

Try RBSHal11, just tried, works fine, seems voucher company is woried about the business they get :smile:
Just play with 11, 12 and 13 endings or use your company's one. As I wrote many large employers do have dedicated discount codes.

Ordered Halfords vouchers yesterday and my account still states order is in process.Anybody else still waiting on process?

Hi, i have been trying to order the vouchers at select.halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk/ and i cannot get any of the codes to work. I have registered and logged into the site. Selected the vouchers over £50 worth and tried entering all the codes in the discount codes section but cannot get any to apply. Is there something i am doing wrong. Can anyone confirm they still work for me?

Thanks in advance

No, the deal is valid, just some "happy finger" expired it, unfortunately no moderator replied to my request to unexpire thread.

is it expired?

Moderators, please unexpire this deal as it is alive and kicking :smile:
Looks like someone from halfords was clicking EXPIRED button :wink:

The guy was talking sh*t, if he is not happy to process your order then ask for store manager, BC voucher is on TOP of all other offers.

I was in Halfords today and currently await my halfords vouchers to arrive to take advantage of this deal. However, from speaking to the sales guy he said there was no way they would allow another voucher to be used to take 10% off the bike for the membership voucher. I mentioned other people had used it along with the web discount and 10% off code and he said only an idiot would accept this extra voucher. I've checked the voucher small print and it states it can be used on top of other sales offers so he shouldn't be able to decline it or can he? I'd be disappointed not to get use of it down to some stubborn sales guy in the branch I have near me.

Just tried on my account and both RBSHAL13 and CAMHal13 work and give 10% discount
NHSHal12 gives 7.5% discount though. Thanks for correcting.

CAMHal13 not working for me. Note RBSHAL13 gives a 10% discount, NHSHal12 gives slightly less.

[/quote] unfortunately the vouchers don't work[/quote]

JC... ALL codes work, READ the post, register with the site first and then apply the codes...

unfortunately the vouchers don't work

hmm, the item doesn't have reserve and collect option, but it's only order and collect which requires credit card payment through website. So, if i get to the local halford, the payment is already cleared through my credit so I am wondering if it's fine to ask to cancel the existing order, then rebuy through gift voucher by applying 10% BC off.

If you make an order and pay instore there is no reason why Halfords would not take gift vouchers. As for 10% BC discount - just give it a try, I suppose such transaction could be treated the same as all other store purchases.

I'd ring the online helpdesk and ask them. They may be able to complete the order for you. Good luck

I have a question. The item which I want to buy doesn't offer reserve and collect. Instead, I can order and collect from local Hafords. This means I need to buy it now with credit card. So, there's no time to use 10% off BC voucher and I cannot use gift voucher which is purchased at 10% off price. Is there other way? Perhaps, when I collect the item, ask them to cancel the credit card purchase, but honour the same price on website with 10% off BC voucher and pay it with gift voucher?

Thanks for updating.

**** Only RBSHAL11 works now ***

Other discount codes for gift vouchers are welcome :smile:

The both 10% codes worked for me yesterday.

But it doesn't work when I am trying to reorder one now.

Registered and logged in but codes not working

Hi Guys,

***********Use code B13BK01 for an extra 10% off on bikes (not accessories)**********worked for me @ Halfords website.

Did you register with the site? You can only apply code once logged in.

CAMHal12 code worked for me, so its a blip for you

Has anyone got another halfords business code- neither of the ones listed above have worked for me. Thanks

I love stacking codes. heat added. a very good spot

you cannot use this in conjunction with c2w schemes as its your employer that's buy the bike.

Glad this got hot, nice bit of sleuthing from the OP

I'm hoping its better than that. TCB, The discount from The Big Bike Race, BC discount, Halfords in shop vouchers. Im looking to save over £300 on my £1000 Bike

you can call the membership team and get them to email you a copy of your membership I used that when I bought my Boardman

You can call or email BC and they will email you your temporary card ( that's what I did with no problem and CS was very helpful). Anyway, Halfords did not ask for membership card in any case as the BC discount voucher can only be printed by members.

Hi guys,

Please remember, if you do join the british cycling scheme - it will take upto 14 days to receive your membership card - and you need this plus the 10% discount voucher when you goto Halfords.

I used this earlier in the year to buy a Boardman CX team - came in at £700 at the time (I think it's gone up £50 since), which is so much cheaper than competitors it's ridiculous.

(£1100 was the cheapest other bike I was considering and that was after £150 discount).

All major bike range range in July/august. Shop around and you can easily knock off the same amount by a bit of haggling.

Board Man of this ' deal'

So if you were to buy a £1000 boardman bike pressing a few buttons for five minutes wouldn't be worth a potential saving of £220.00?

thanks op ...

What a long winded way of getting a discount...and 22% isn't really enough given what you have to do.

I am on my way to collect my bike on Friday. missed out on quidco as there aas no option to collect bug pay online only. so went to the store ordered it there and then as carrera subway 2013 was out of stock. Got the halford voucher and BC 10 percent of course on hand. so not 199.99 but carrera will cost me 162. well BC membership costed me 9 quids which you can add to bike price if you like. So overall I appreciate and salute the deal poster. voted hot now after getting all these done as wanted to make sure that it works.

Hmmm, my original post reached over 400C but someone did expire it. Never mind, I see it did help a good bunch of people :smile:

The 15% is from the facebook competition. Could be less depending which bike wins. The plan isTCB, the Facebook discount, hopefully use British Cycling 10% in store and i've already bought the Halfords vouchers. If it all comes i'll save a 1/3. So we'll know in a couple of weeks or before when the facebook Big Bike Race Finishes :-)

One of those hot deals that somehow never got hot - not one of mine but I like it ;-)

Just to point out the at you can't use the British Cycling 15% online code with the 20% off code posted above. So I wouldn't bank on being able to combine online codes.

Thanks for this. I'll be trying it soon, hopefully with another discount from a promotion they are running on Facebook where you vote for your Favorite bike type and the top 4 get further discount codes. Top discount is 15% so if anybody wants to vote for Road Racers it will help me in my quest :-)

[img]washford.scene7.com/is/…212?$PDP_ENLARGE$[/img]

The code posted by squillion makes the Shimano M520 spd pedals £13.99. Link for Silver. Link for White And of course British Cycling members can save another 10% if they order them for store pick up, so that makes it £12.59.

Exactly! ;-)

The biggest discount is obtained by combining Click and Collect service (via Quidco or TCB and using all standard discount vouchers like the one mentioned above) and paying in store with Halfords vouchers after applying BC money off voucher.

Thanks, this is 20% off Bike Accessories Voucher.
Yet another saving :smile:

This code is online thought isnt it? and arent these vouchers etc for just instore use? or have I missed something?

code B13BP20 and get a further 20%

Bump as should be hotter.

Can be combined with 20% off code = 42% discount.

Pls see post #30

HI. With regards to buying the vouchers via Halfords, what do you put in as they ask you for a business address?

Will this offer work with Cycle2Work schemes too?


No idea on this but worth a try. I don't know C2W conditions but you can always turn "dumb mode" and try to bulldoze the deal :smile:

No need to switch on dumb mode LoL see I've ordered a bike through Cycle2Work, So i can walk into Halfords and get an extra 15% off by producing BC card. Hopefully

Will this offer work with Cycle2Work schemes too?

This is virtually the same way as I bought my bike in Nov 2011. hotukdeals.com/dea…387

Thanks senukas. Brilliant so could end up getting over 30% off brand new bike. Yippee :smile:

In order to obtain maximum discount you need to make Click and Collect order. You can get their online prices plus standard discounts like your mentioned bank holiday discount or 3for2 offer and Quidco or TCB cashback. When you come to pick up your order, you show them BC card with the printed voucher and staff will take another 10% off. You can pay all this amount in Halfords vouchers then (which you have accidentally bought with 10% discount :smile:

Thanks for response, but when you say pay in store you just mean order bike and go along with all your vouchers etc to collect bike in store? sorry for being a bit dim.

Yes. this will work as long as you pay in the store.

Hi. If Halfords do the 10% off at bank Holiday weekend they usually do on Boardman Bikes can you use the BC discount voucher also in conjunction with the 10 % already off along with all the other discount methods as discussed? i.e BC discount, Quidco & Halfords vouchers?

Yes it does say "Save 15% off parts, accessories and clothing" not tried it on a bike, got that last week!

But is the 15% applicable to bikes? The above implies not.

Also has anyone tried this trick with the wiggle shop? British Cycling state 15%

FYI - I ordered something online using the 15% off - to collect and pay in-store, then used my 10% in-store voucher too!

Also worth saying that Quidco cashback for Halfords is now 4.5%.

Just to point out that it seems the British Cycling membership offers 15% off for this month for online orders only.

So this may be an option for those who would rather avoid the extra hassle and save a little less.

Save 15% off parts, accessories and clothing

Halfords Offer dates: August 1-31

Members can now save 15% on over 15,000 products from 185 leading specialist brands online at Halfords. This is a limited time offer which will end on 31st August 2013.

To get this benefit, as well as all the other great benefits on offer, you can join British Cycling for just over £2 a month. If you’re already a member, click on ‘Claim Benefit’ below to find out the redemption process.

Yep - just entered a dash and it works. Placed an order for vouchers using CAMHal12 and discount applied. Result!!
Thanks senukas

OK will give it a try. I have completed the 1st step i.e. joined British Cycling :smile:

Can't remember any such requirement, try to leave blank or just put a dash or just company name you work for...

Hot from me. Will use to buy a Boardman Hybrid next time they have a sale :smile:

A question though - when entering a billing address for Halfords Business Select it asks for company name as a required field. maybe a daft question but what do I enter?

No idea on this but worth a try. I don't know C2W conditions but you can always turn "dumb mode" and try to bulldoze the deal :smile:

Great post OP

Any idea if the reserve and collect (So Quidco cashback and online price), and the British Cycling 10% discount work for Cycle to Work purchases - where you have a letter of collection for the a certain value that you can spend on the bike at Halfords?

Cheers

Worked perfectly! Shame about the halfords staff, bike was suppose to be ready Friday but wasn't in stock till Monday then when picking up wasn't built!!!

I complained and got £40 off the bike. With this, the vouchers, cycling club discount and TCB a Carrera vulcan bike only cost me £248 from £360 (originally £490) ........I'd call that a bargain !!

Thanks OP

True HUKdealer, glad it did help :smile: As for BC benefit voucher - don't panic, they are regularly updated, just print new one in August (probably would be valid until end of September).

Brilliant, ordered vouchers Fri, came today - bit of a PANIC as site still said processing order this morning and the British Cycling membership benefit (10% in-store discount) voucher says ends 31st July 2013 - be quick!

Postie came with them at about 11 - so off I went, they matched web price for all my stuff and they have buy 3 pay for two on accessories too!

cheers

Tuesday as order would be processed only on Monday.

i ordered on saturday just now will i receive vouchers on mon or tues?

Long winded,but brilliant....thanks

thank you all for your suggestions and thank you Nosh for the mind blowing link for discounts.

[/quote]Oh right yeah, me a silly billy :smile: [/quote]

‌ :smile: Sorry for the strong pointer :smile:

Oh right yeah, me a silly billy :smile:

Just tried - works fine! You need to register FIRST with the website before applying any discount codes to the order.

The CAMHal12 Discount code for 10% off the price of vouchers doesn't seem to be working anymore. Is it just me or have they stopped it today?

You can hand over any quantity of vouchers, they are treated like cash...

can anyone confirm this is still working!? do they actually accept 30 odd £20 gift vouchers lol?

Just waiting for dsuk to show up and start moaning about the deal again...

Good remark, thanks

senukas - I have realised that this is all going to work except for web exclusive items. you can get web exclusive items delivered to the store, but you have to pay for them online in order that they be delivered. both the staff vouchers and the british cycling discount have to be used in store - neither work online. so i cannot get any discount on web exclusive products. good find for everything else though!

I have done it three times and many more would confirm, see this post:

You make a C&C reservation, turn up at the store, show your BC voucher and after they take your discount pay the balance in Halfords vouchers. I have done for three bikes with no questions asked. Even if you don't make reservation, shop staff would price match online price if you ask to do so. BC discount would be applied regardless. I hope it helps.

good work senukas. quick question, how can you use the 'in-store' british cycling discount AND then use click and collect online? How do you use the instore discount online?

Good find! Thanks.

Has anyone got this to work ie using the British cycling voucher with gift vouchers?
Did the staff not query this turn it down??

For people missing something - an example:

Bike price at the store £600
British Cycling membership benefit (10% instore discount) -£60
Vouchers value to buy £540
Discount when buying vouchers (10% of the basket) -£54
Quidco Reserve and collect cashback 3% = -£18
BC membership £15
Total money spent = £483

Calculate the cost of your purchase after the discount and buy Halfords gift vouchers with 10% discount here:

How do you get the 10% off?

I pay £15 for the membership then I get 10% off code and that only makes it total 10% off. Not sure if i missed something.

It is not quick way to get a discount (like code or price error) but you get it on top of sales prices too.

Hi this is quite complicated :disappointed: how do i get the bronze pack membership? x

nice find
