    I wish someone would take a look at ‘Clubcard Prices’ and ‘Nectar Prices’ etc. Ie discounts if you have the loyalty card.

    I’m sure they’re just a way to circumvent trading standards legislation about needing to have been on sale at the higher price before starting a sale. Because it’s not a sale is a ‘club price’. The store can show a massive discount when it was never on sale at the undiscounted price anyway.

      Which places have a “discount with card” program that also don’t/didn’t sell at full retail price?

        Yeah. The thing is that full retail price is hiked up, not the normal price. Side stepping the legislation designed to prevent this kind of behavior.

        Not in every instance but for sure it does happen. Some of those ‘non member’ prices are so high as to be laughable.

        Costco? The members price when you have to be a member to shop there?

        Always thought that was weird.
