Hmmmm :hmmmm :hmmmm , seems like the process is run with RM's usual efficiency. The clowns forgot to deduct monies to pay for my cycle, after 3 months I had to get on to remind them :shock:

Can anybody confirm that these vouchers will work at Leisure Lakes in Bury? and will they take the halfords vouchers or will I need to get a leisure lakes version of it?

There is no leisure lakes version. The C2W scheme is run for RM by Halfords, however they definatly accept the halfords vouchers in the midlands.....

Try this No: to be sure they will also give you (if you push them) the names of any other participating shops in Bury

Find out more and enter the username: rmguser and the password: rmgbenefit.

Alternatively, call 08450 778850.

I've been looking at this scheme a lot over the last few years but i forever seem to be thinking "If only it was £550" almost every bike i really fancy is that price.

Its that time of year when manufactures are changing over from 2011 bikes to the newer 2012 models. I've been looking at various websites/dealers and have noticed discounts of 30% & 40% can you do a deal at Halfords then present them with a LOC to pay for it OR does all C2W have to be done at full RRP up front?
Cheers

also is the max RM LOC £500 or £1000?

Am 99% sure you can still get bikes at sale price in Halfords. I got my Voodoo Agwa a couple a months ago with about £130 off the RRP. Wouldn't have thought it has changed since then? Quite a few Voodoos in our DO bike shed now and more bikes in general, so the scheme does seem to be working

Halfords can,as they administer the scheme
dealers have to pay halfords 10%
so on a £500 LOC,they only get £450
hence they don't do many deals

Is it possible to use the voucher to buy a "web exclusive" cycle from Halfords?

It says on the voucher not to be redeemed for Web exclusive deals! BUT i bought my bike for £450 and reserved my spd pedals which were "web exclusive" and they didnt notice and i got them cheap. I would reserve it and chance it, they might not notice, as lots of them are thick lol
