What is it? I have never been able to get into that bundle thing anyway.

Not sure about a "CON" , I knew what I`d be paying back ...and it helped my son to get the computer he wanted for collage as couldn`t afford to buy outright , I thought it was a good scheme !?

As far as I know you can have 2 tech devices at the same time as long as you dont go over the wages sacrifice threshold (which was around £20-£25 a week). You can also have one phone on the go at the same time.
I have to agree with the “con” comment though. I bought an ipad and a phone through it and it’s going to end up costing me a lot more than just buying them outright, but then I couldn’t afford to buy them outright in the first place. I was looking at the scheme a week or two ago just for a nosey and priced a nintendo switch which would end up costing nearly £600 over the two years. :shock:

Def paid out through the ear for my ipad pro 12", if you can its probably better to buy outright or on as little % finance with someone else I guess.

However for me it's been brilliant, yes I'll prob have to pay out now in December when it ends for the tax fee to keep it but I've got a piece of tech I love and use every day for drawing and stuff.

Recently ordered a Sonos Play1 and Nintendo Switch controller.

Depending on your mybundle spend you should be able to add more items

My ipad is £10.84 per week
And Sonos Play1 plus Switch controller is another £2.72 or so

Tech 1
Tech 2

And I have a choice to add a third now. I think the weekly limit is £35

it may have worked out cheaper if you had got in on 0% finance

plus living with 2 years of being worried about even turning it on because they make such a big thing about 'you don't own it' is awful, but if it worked for you, that's good

Yes , i was basically upto my limit on the scheme ....but what i`m asking is as it comes to an end in november and gets paid off , can you order more Tech or have they stopped the scheme ?

I should think so... They're currently updating the site. They have a livechat if you got to their website, you could ask them there?

Regarding the tax fee to keep stuff they enlmailed me this morning to say it would be £40-50 split over 12 months to keep my ipad pro
