mfnick Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Noooo! I use that card quite a lot. Saved me a good amount of cash up to now 😣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilrathal Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 I know! i was starting to get a feel for detailing products and was thinking of maybe getting a new radio as my satnav thing sucks. I really hope it is a misunderstanding. But they said the 2 years it had been running for ended and it didn't get renewed. only had mine a few weeks ;( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_uk Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Hope it's just a mistake. Love my discount card saved me a fortune. Got the £350 socket set for £114.75 thanks to that card and Black Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 hmmm - first I have heard - sorry you had to go through that - Ill ping @Steve and find out what has happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 They normally just look at mine and ask how much discount needs to be applied, Last time the bloke couldn't bè arsed to work out 15% and gave me trade instead. I think it's more down to who you get at the till most are happy to knock off discounts as it just says voucher on the receipt.

Kilrathal Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Strange, all the times i've used my they have scanned it. Working out the 15% off putting in that the coupon is for instance £3.40 scanning the card and bingo. but this time it just said invalid coupon. I'll just wait for Steve to get back to us a Jay mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always give me a look of confusion because they've never seen it before. Eventually they get a supervisor over and manually deduct 15%. I've even had to calculate it for them before.

Subaru Owners Club Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Hi all, Have looked into this situation earlier and it seems like Halfords have changed their barcodes. As far as we can tell, the card is still valid and there is now another code that they have to scan from their sheet but otherwise it should all work as before. Will get back to you all with more information later Cheers Trevor (Admin) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 ^ this sounds about right as they used a laminated a4 sheet to put my discount through on weds. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru Owners Club Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 If you request that they use the Executive Discount Code on their printout sheet at the till then the discount can still be used. Will get back with more information once Halfords have sorted this glitch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1978 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Ah hope this is just a glitch. It's a great discount. I managed to get £80 of my Sony head unit the other week, made it a lot cheaper than even Amazon so it makes quite a difference; despite the odd looks from staff ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Presented mine at Merry Hill Stourbridge they tried the barcode but no luck but then manually entered the 15% discount code no issue - but the best thing was the chap went off to get the manager (Jordan) who owns a a very tidy WRX-S hatch and was curious as to where the card came from 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastboy67 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Had the same problem with mine yesterday the manager did the same just entered it manually using a code from an A4 sheet of codes. Young lad struggled with the maths on a £12 item I worked it out 4 him but he still checked on his fone 😂😂😂. Any news on this being sorted out by Halfords??

Subaru Owners Club Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I don't think Halfords can do much for the poor maths unfortunately, lol Still being resolved at the moment but glad you got a result when you visited there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilrathal Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Was just wondering. On the new set of card could it not be a similar barcode as the executive discount as they are the same amount? Or atleast reference to the the executive discount or is that something halford don't want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I have heard back and Halfords are fixing the current card code. I will report back when this is fixed. May take 24 hours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 we tested the Halfords card last night and it now works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocker-Leachy Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Mine worked a couple of days ago. Think it even scanned this time instead of them having to work it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
