10th - 11th Dec
Offer only available to time travellers ;-)
May be able to combine with Get a $20 Repco Gift Card - Spend over $100 from Pages 14&15 of Catalogue; $15 Battery Trade In. Those batteries in catalog are not discounted, just a bonus gift card offer. Worth a try.
Usually batteries are excluded from these 25%/30% non sale items promos…
I got 30% off car battery last month when the last sale was on. No issues. I even got them to price match JB on a head unit which was apparently less than their cost price as she had to manually accept the price on their system.
That's good as my battery finally failed this morning.
Rang local Repco…
Said batteries are usually excluded. Pointed out were 30% off last sale - that was the catalog special, not the members weekend.
Asked about $20 gift card on $159 Century battery they recommended for car - did not know of offer. Came back & said I would receive gift card. I pointed out that battery is not listed on p14-15 of catalogue to qualify. Still said I would qualify for gift card. Easy for them to say, you have to redeem online with receipt number & wait up to 6 weeks to find out if advice was correct!
After call, none the wiser. Will ring tomorrow.
Battery price after trade in is $144.
SuperCheap after trade in is $145.
BatteryWorld with no trade in is $145.
Do they sell Century batteries?
Because I am always feeling misguided by Repco and their deals.
I rang my local store and they told me they didn't sell Century, only equivalent Repco ones.
Reading T&C, trade in looks to be only Repco branded batteries.
@Sammy2000:
T&C: That's why I doubted I would receive a Gift Card on Century purchase, when offer is for purchase of Repco branded battery.
It is a small Repco, closed Sunday. Different stores around Australia may carry different products.
Repco batteries are rebadged Century Store said the same thing.
Thinking about it, Repco never said it was a Century - I only knew it was by the Century model number. They confirmed they had looked up Century battery list to determine battery for my car.
They then said it is a Century, & all their batteries they sell under Repco name are Century.
Rather confusing.
My battery is now showing signs of life, so it may make it to SuperCheap's 20% off sale around 2 weeks time. Hope they don't exclude batteries.
@Sammy2000:
Battery states "Supplied by Century" (same century part number) & was 30% off for VIP cards, but excluded from 25% off for auto club cards.
@brucefromaustralia:
Thank you for the information.
I went with one from Super Cheap as I decided the 3 year warranty was worth the slight extra cost.
Couldn't think of a use for gift voucher.
bought a battery today, got the 30% off ( and $15 trade in)
Bought batery today 30% off, can combine deals, free gift card by redemption if over $100.
Was keen for this but after seeing for non sale items, no thanks.
Yup, I signed up to the VIP club last month and then I read the fine print. Their RRPs are astronomical so for the overwhelming majority of products you're probably not getting a good deal at 30% off RRP.
IMO oils, filters, and car care products are brilliant at 30% off. Only place I buy Mobil1 from when the sale comes up.
Even with the slightly inflated RRPs as opposed to Super Cheap, the 30% off brings it down to be the cheapest around from any auto store I have been to. I'd never shop at Repco for standard pricing.
Agree, specially the ones not so commonly on a 30% special like gear oils, ATFs etc.
and seeing as SCA don't even sell mobil 1 anymore, i reluctantly drag my feet into repco.
Do they sell car seats/boosters?
No I've never seen any.
Anyone know if the Thunder Weekender will be 30% off? This would take it down to $385 compared to normal retail of $549.
Anyone know what the Thunder Weekended is?
Where does it say 30%? It says 25% for me and "Discount available to all members of RACV, NRMA, RACQ, RAA, RAC, AANT and RACT plus Repco VIP Club Members."
Is there an extra 5% for VIP members somewhere? Just so I know if I can be bothered signing up as I can just show my RACQ card otherwise.
Email today to signed up members. This weekend only.
Excludes equipment, being the necessary items for a particular purpose. I guess that rules out everything else not on the exclusion list.
This happened last time I tried to purchase from them.
EVERYTHING was excluded. I asked the cashier to list what was on sale.
25% off Discount available to all members of RACV, NRMA, RACQ, RAA, RAC, AANT and RACT plus Repco VIP Club.
Excludes catalogue & discounted lines, motor vehicle & marine batteries, equipment, transmissions, engines & cylinder heads, satellite navigation, equipment, gift cards, combo deals, trade purchases. Store stock only. Offer valid Saturday 10 & Sunday 11 January 2015. (Repco site)
So 2 different discounts on same weekend, with different conditions!
my local store at Capalaba in QLD, only honours the 25% off for racq members but not the 30% off
despite me being a member and having an email that says 30% off. not impressed with Repco.
But hang on it hasn't started yet :S
But if asked store staff, they should know the next days sale conditions. But as their site says 25% for VIP membership (my comment a few up), that probably will trump our emails. Very confusing Repco.
Just went to store (Mansfield, Brisbane). No problems getting 30% off with VIP card.
Got 30% off $159 battery PLUS the $15 trade-in, making it $96. ($145 elsewhere)
So unfortunately will miss out on bonus $20 gift card on $100 :-(
(Tried to get trade-in before discount to bring price above $100, but didn't work.)
Somehow my ING card still is giving 5% rebate, so final price $91.50 :-)
Rounds off a great week of bargains for me:
$3.75 Canon camera (16MP, 8x)
$39 Samsung camera (16MP, 12x, WiFi)
Woolies:
Free Dutch cheese (price error)
Free olives (weight error on delivery)
Free butter (their error on delivery)
75% off Scottish butter shortbread
etc
OP - "the drinks are on me"™ (if you can find a frugal bugger like me) ;-)
Should have bought an oil filter or anything on p14-15 of catalogue, to bring total over $100 to qualify for Gift Card. Needs to be $100 on 1 receipt.
Hey OP, update title to 10th - 11th Jan.
