I agree, for bigger purchases when you really want the discount its much less useful.
I got included in the trial scheme and it does encourage me to wait for discount codes to pop up on the emails. I am trying to be frugal with money atm so am possibly a bad for for a tester
The Unlimited scheme stopped enrolling new people when the website swopped over back in February (ish?), so it seemed likely that they’d wind it down for the existing customers too at some point. I don’t know when the unlimited code will officially stop working though?
It looks like the trial is going until some time in January/February I agree with @Green_Eyed_Girl, it’s not very useful if you have a big purchase you want to make, and overall I feel like you’d be saving less But that’s probably how it’s intended as the old unlimited program (I’m not a part of it though I wish I was) was maybe too generous from a business standpoint
Agreed on the possibly maybe too generous. For me though, big ticket items are the ones i need a discount on.
Thus waiting for codes and sales is what will probubly happen for me.
The vip system as it stands for me (uk) is very like a loyalty scheme im sighned up for with a common highstreet bookshop who shall remain nameless. Downside of this is i will buy alot more books than i will sextoys/frillies so getting £10 off ocasionally is much less usable for me
I had the trial email a few weeks back and several since. Haven’t used any of the codes as the unlimited deal still works for me so as long as that’s still the case I’ll stick with that.
It might need a special marker on your account? I’ve just tried it, and it still works for me (inc. delivery discount), but I didn’t get the email about the new loyalty scheme. Might be worth a check though?
Yep, already did and they’re looking into it (as I’ve spent around 250 since the launch so I definitely should be getting a few ). It sounds like since it’s not actually live on the site they’re sending them manually so maybe that’s why. They also told me to check spam, but I always do a manual search and nothing )
Because you can’t use the £10 VIP vouchers with other offers eg 20% off codes or the blue light card or student discount it makes it pointless for me for most purchases. This needs looking at because unlike the usual reward points VIP doesn’t really give me any benefits
