Thanks Helen
I don't often get near BHS so it was a bit of a treat and nice to shop somewhere different and get money off too.
Will probably try to get back there again, especially if you can advise as to the 20% off.

Linda :o)

choice card. No way would I take out a credit card -have a Visa which we only use on holiday.

Ros did you have the Gold card or the choice card?

Ann you can transfer balances across from other cards interest free on payments for 9 months, so say you have a balance of £3000 on a card you would actually save £256 pound in interest payments.
There is also 6 months interest free on Bhs purchases, so you can buy Xmas presents now and spread the payments for 6 months before you have to pay any interest on any remaining balance.
There is a 3 month interest free period on purchases you make anywhere else as well.

but it`s a credit card, Ros xx

rosalyn, the points that are awarded on the new card are better value than on the old Goldcard. You used to get 1 point for every £10 you spent. The new one is 5 points for every £1 in Bhs and 1 point for every £1 every where else. (M & S give you 1 point for evey £1 in M&S and 1 point for every £2 pounds elsewhere, so Bhs give you more points per pound than they do)
You will be sent money off vouchers every 3 months with the new card, 500 points equal a £5 voucher, so if you accumalate 3000 points they will send you £30 pounds worth of vouchers and of course you will still get invitations for the 20% events which are just for card holders during the year. Although as i said earlier there will be another 20% mega weekend for everyone in Nov.

Linda it was 20% off everything on Friday and Saturday just gone and that was in every Bhs.

BHS in this area had 20% off everything last weekend in Cheltenham.

I didn't take out the new BHS card either, didn't want another credit card.

58 days to go. Xmas Eve 8 weeks tomorrow.

Hi Helen
Was in the British HOME Stores at Reading on Saturday. Like an outlet shop............. but only household(no clothes).
Prices were reduced anyway and then 20% off on top. That was a nice surprise at the till.

Linda :o)

I had a BHS card but it`s been changed to a credit card now , so didn`t renew, never seemed to get points very high, Ros xx

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

it cant be 8 weeks away its only just been!!!!!!!!!

Bhs has their Xmas shop again, got a 20% weekend later in Nov, will let you know date as soon as it's confirmed.

Woolworths had 3 for 2 today on everything

Yes , it`s something different

Ros,
Had a look on QVC and I would think it is a good present for anyone,especially older people(not like me lol) to keep warm if the heating has to be turned down this winter.

Brenda , look on Qvc -sort of blanket , wrap thing difficult to describe but good for any age , Ros xx

Well, it's only 8wks to go.

Don't know where the credit crunch is, but the shops in town are heaving, and even the shopping centres outside town.

Goes without saying Mac, you are a man!!

Ros
have just sent mum and dad a email with what we would like, have got cousins childrens present wrapped waiting to be sent, other cousins baby havent got hers yet, Neices and nephews get money but one has birthday on 19th Dec so try and get him an actual present for that.
Havent thought about sisters in law or my sister and seh has wedding anniversary on the 21st as well.

My lot not a hope yet a few bits for laddo and tiddlers stockings but eldest says she doesnt want one this year but cant tell me what she wants.


Now if someone could give me an energy jab I might be able to get on with it.
