how much does it cost to get the card ?

Someone won £1000 or £5000 when we were in store once, it came over the tannoy system. I won an ice cream...

Southampton at start of store as well...will defoh check next time.

That's definitely not the case in my local branch. In Gateshead, the Ikea Family section ( where both the scanners and Ikea Family orientated products are) is pretty much in the middle of the store by the Restaurant and toilets, you have to walk past it to get to the upstairs marketplace section and the back to the checkouts. There are some additional scanning screens after the checkouts but these I think are more for when they have the receipt scanning competitions, but I assume that every store is laid out a little differently.

​me too, been there a few times recently, never knew about it :disappointed:

I hate it because if i nip in for one thing I come out with a trolley full of **** that I don't need and will never use.

​That's the Ikea way. Sometimes you can short cut departments if you know your way round the store . But it's designed in a way to encourage you to browse and make impulse buys. Perhaps you should as a previous commentator suggests and start at the end.

Business 101 my friend.
