Re: Cycle 2 work scheme
Can someone just confirm for me that Leisure lakes will definitley accept the Halfords voucher?
Can i just turn up at one of there shops with the voucher and get a bike upto £500 in value? Does this include bikes in the sale? Or will they charge full RRP?
Thanks

Re: Cycle 2 work scheme
you can only get bikes at full retail
they actually get about £450 for a £500 LOC

Re: Cycle 2 work scheme
Leisure Lakes definately accept the Halfords voucher , I asked them yesterday .
Unfortunately for me , they didn't stock the bike I wanted .
I'm wondering if any bike shop which participates in a 'Cycle Scheme' is able to accept the Halfords voucher ........ why should they have the sole right to it , when it is a goverment driven scheme ? If Leisure Lakes are able to redeem it , why not others too ?
I have found an independant shop that is in a Cycle Scheme that has what I want , but they are unsure as to whether or not they can accept the voucher /letter of collection .... can any upload a copy so that I can show it to them ?

any shop who chooses to can accept the Halfords voucher
however Halfords administer that scheme(there are more than one) and charge a %
£50 from a £500 LOC
so a shop needs to get its profit from £450 of a £500 sale

Re: Halfords Cycle to Work Scheme
Now retailing at £499.99 so would one be able to get it for 399.99 with the voucher?custard wrote:homerj wrote:I would do a little off road occasional field etc but nothing major, yes they are still doing it but it's £599 :(
See here
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_165534" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
if you apply for C2W you get a voucher emailed to you for £100 off
so the comp is £499
edit. here you go
however I dont know if each has a unique barcode
everyone I know who has done C2W recently hs got this voucher

they may not be issuing the voucher now and that will be void
if you do its a bargain

Re: Cycle 2 work scheme
i just ordered it, collect it in a couple of hours,Now retailing at £499.99 so would one be able to get it for 399.99 with the voucher?
i'd already asked for £500 with the intention of using the £100 off voucher, i just asked if i could still use it and buy £100 worth of accessories to make it up and it was fine, not sure if i'd have actually spent that much in the 1st,
but got kitted out with mud-guards, lights, helmet, pump, decent lock and 12 months service they do all for the £500, had to cough up 94p.
just need some new legs now!

Re: Cycle 2 work scheme
Is this C2W LoC/voucher thing, made exclusively to Halfords, as I have some one who said they would accept the LoC or whatever it is, but only if it's not made specifically to Halfords?
Many thanks.
Mog.
