XMTS Discount?

[Tomo]

If you go through the banner at the top of our page the price of whatever appears reduced (cheaper) than if you go through their regular website.

Yep - that's what I did - but not the point I am making.

If you click the banner add - you get the discount (woohoo) - but if you then click through from that page to their new bigger and better "Clan" website you no longer get any discount.

The new site also has different pricing (in this case lower than the old site - even with the discount). So buying the same items from the same vender through different channels gives different results - and in this case as a XTMS member taking advantage of the discount I would end up paying more using the partner offer than I would paying the standard price on their other website.

e.g.

• Old website price is £6.00 per item (I am ordering a bunch of these so it mounts up).
• XMTS discount on old website is 10% so price with discount is £5.40 per item.
• New website price (without XMTS discount) is £5.00 per item.

So if I use the partner offer, which only applies on their old website, I actually end up paying 7% more than I would for the same things at the standard price on their new website.

My point is:

1. don't assume the partner discount will be cheaper - so worth checking both sites
2. note there is no XMTS discount on the new site (no info as to whether that is only for now)
3. they are transitioning to the new site so things may change (e.g. Scotweb points cannot be used on the new site either).
