Dave the Busker Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 It's not getting double points though, it's points are worth double, so you'd get a bigger discount on your Mallard with any points you have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_watts1 Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 Thing you've got to take into account is you don't get 15% discount on the chip when bought separately. But, if you buy a sound fitted loco then you do. Why do you always get offers when there is nothing that you really want?I should clarify, your current points are worth double their value when you spend them. You do not get double points for the item you are buying.Decision made, just get the Mallard now, £68.79 for a loco, can't moan at that.thumbsup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz657 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Perfect excuse to get some more track and rolling stock.Although not sure why they didn’t allocate all of my accrued points when I ticked the box - redeemed 3462 points worth £69.24 but left 1108 points “in the bank”.

Peachy Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I've currently got over 14'000 points "pending" but only 254 currently available to use! so I do hope they repeat this offer later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railbob Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I’m waiting on 3100 points being returned to my account from a cancelled order, I could get Night Hawk for £48 😞 Hornby please please give me back my points I need them desperately 😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_watts1 Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 @Railbob. I don't understand how you are waiting for points on a cancelled order since points are only awarded 21 days after the item has been paid for and despatched. Ah, unless you ordered an in stock item, but cancelled it before it was despatched.thinking_face Also, if the order is below 50 quid then they'll charge postage.

gc4946 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I accrued enough current points to buy Gresley's A3 Night Hawk and a footbridge with TT Club discount for a nice little Easter treat grinning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David, It’s even worse 😂 if I can get all my points together, 3100 from cancelled order, 700 sitting in the account and 766 pending ( they are due to go live soon) then I can get Night Hawk for £33 👍😂 plus postage but I still need some items which will bring me to free delivery levels. I like this rewards system 👍😂😂 Railbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Tall Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Tried to use my points, but keep getting an error in whichever browser i use... Yes the website does go flaky at times.When I actually decided to bite the bullet and order Night Hawk, the site would only give me £42 instead of the £56 I should have with the doubling deal.I closed the site and went back later and it was back to £56, so I hit buy !Maybe it will be fine once you try again.I agree with Railbob, I love the points rewards. it is not piddling amounts like some reward systems, you do actually get something decent, and with the club 15% it makes for some nice deals. Edit: It is my birthday tomorrow, I have just been given 200 birthday points by Hornby sunglasses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-351774 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Just picked up the brake van and two of the tank wagons for the cost of postage - happy days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob23 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I was saving my current points to use with some pending for the TSX HST, but couldn't resist the points offer and picked up 'Night Hawk' for just the cost of postage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-350048 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 if you edit your basket the reward amount seems to get messed up so if you want to remove items and add others you need to start your order again rather than editing your basket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterM67 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Two pullman coaches - Octavia and the No. 162 3rd brake. Ironically my 1st TT:120 purchases so I currently have nothing to run with them - although I will be placing a pre order for the DCC Blink Bony set.I didn't intend to buy anything till later in the year as currently I don't really have the space to build a layout other than temporarily on the table dinning but we are intending to move to a bigger house which should resolve this issue!In the meantime I have my membership till the end of next January so want to make sure I have made as much use of the 15% discount before then to be "ready" so then this deal came along and always being one for a bargain I decided to put those 400 points I have for joining and filling in the survey to a good use!

Stephen-351868 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Hi I’ve tried about twenty times on different devices, to place an order using my reward points during the Easter ‘double points’ offer. I enter the details of my order into the basket, I tick the box asking the if I want to pay using my points…. When I click the ‘pay now’ button nothing happens. It’s so frustrating. Hornby phone help line is closed funnily enough, until the offer expires on Monday night. move sent an email to customer services but automated reply states it will take at least 7 days before they see it. Anyone else having similar problems?Regards…. Steve 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTiimm Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 A Night Hawk for 40 euro ordered this morning. Can't argue with the 15 euro extra for postage at that price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
