Another forum wrote: | Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place for this but here goes anyway.
A few days ago I took out a ********* subscription at a special offer price of £119.45 so will have to pay that each year (unless I let it lapse and then do it again).
Today I get an email quoting an offer price of £109.45!
Now, not exactly a happy bunny as paying £10 a year more for the same service.
What are ****** up to? | Sound familliar? But I would feel the same. |

but that's the nature of special offers... how many times have you gone to Morrisons and bought whatever you were buying. The, the week after, it's on a 2-for-1 - would you feel as aggrieved then?

I posted. "Just the same as high street shops do all the time" But having said that, if you buy a TV from Currys and it goes down a week later, they give you a refund. I am speaking from first hand experience here |

but that's part of their special offer... and to compare a massive chain like curry's to a tiny team like us is a tad unfair...!

On the basis that nobody should buy a non-essential item at a price which they feel is overpriced, everybody gets a bargain. If the price changes, some people get a better bargain than others, that's all.
I applaud all companies who are trying to ease the current economic difficulties for their customers.
Now, if only there was somebody I could complain to about the stocks and shares I bought a few months ago! _________________ Garmin Nuvi 2599

@MaFt
I was not deliberately comparing this or the other site with a big chain, just stating a fact. I appreciate the fact that not all High Street shops would do this. You saw what I posted on the other site, which was basically 'tough luck, live with it' but not quite as blunt (I hope) |
