PeterW Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Wickes - register as trade (10% off) then your £4.25 becomes £3.83 at the weekend or £3.61 on a Monday in store ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addz307 Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 I heard that before about Quinn but in regards to wickes, I wish I could register as trade but not got a company unless there's a way round it cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a self builder that's normally not that hard to find. When I wanted a trade card for a tile merchant I just showed a pile of Jewsons pink invoices and they said "OK fine".

I didn't even have the hard hat..just looked a bit scruffy. Only challenge is the small talk every time I went in 'How's business? Much on?' etc... always felt a bit of a fraud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
