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" Very Happy But having said that, if you buy a TV from Currys and it goes down a week later, they give you a refund. Very Happy I am speaking from first hand experience here Very Happy

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! Crying or Very sad

@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) Very Happy
