Just got store credit for buying a battery at 20% off last week, now dropped to 30% off for most Century Batteries - however does seem to exclude 4wd batteries.
Don't forget you can also buy discounted giftcards for SCA and stack them with Shopback and Cashrewards which both have 2.1% cashback currently.
didnt even see this, and SCA credited be the $20 difference between this and what it was the other week in the 20% off sale
now to find something to spend it on before it expires in a month
If you managed to use the 10% shopback offer for the last 20% off sale you would technically have gotten 28% off
This sale beats it only just with the current 2.1% cashback rate which brings it to 31.47%
Gets even better too because of the supercheap club auto price protection, so you get refunded 10% difference (albeit as store credit) if you bought in the 20% off sale last time!
damn it! pitty I don't have a club auto membership, take my OzBargain badge away :(
Do you need to visit the same store for the price protection ? I purchased it online and did a click and collect last week when it was 20% off.
thanks
You just need to be a SCA Club Member - then it's automatically credited to your acocunt if the price changes within 2 weeks of purchase.
@tellhimhesdreaming: thanks its already there 19.90 that's cool. So just to confirm i have to use this credit within 30 days is that correct?
ok just checked it have until the 26th of August to use it.
Question: I was told that my Car battery needs to be replaced during the last service about a month back. The battery was just out of 24 month warranty however still runs okay. If I buy a new battery, can I keep without using it until the current battery dies (may be 4-5 months) or the new battery would discharge if not used?
Answer is yes, so long as you dont connect it to anything.
But I'd be questioning why you need a new battery after just two years. Normally car batteries last ages (i.e. 6-8 years). If it runs ok, why were you told to replace it?
I was told that the Battery does not charge sufficiently when driving though I haven't had any issue yet. It was just over 3 years old not 2 years. My mistake. Service done through NRMA MotorServe and the battery bought through NRMA RoadSide assistance.
I would hold off and get your moneys worth out of this battery. Winter is when you will typically have more issues starting with a bad battery, so if you have not had any issues so far in mid winter it should be good for a while yet.
Tell them you don't want the blinker fluid either. :)
If you want to store the battery for 5 months, make sure you place it on am insulated surface (plastic, cardboard or wood) and charge it up once using a charger.
If you do this, remember that the batter's warranty starts from the day you purchase it, so you lose 5 months.
Just got notification from SCA that they credit me back $46.90 from that 20% off weekend too. I originally stacked it with 10% Shopback and 5% gift cards so this is great! Wish I paid for it on my 28 Degrees so I could claim price protection too but ah well.
For those with Costco membership $115 is pretty much the cost of all their batteries, always far cheaper for me when I've needed one.
Just find some local person who does batteries, support your locals! I got a new battery for my mates Kia Rio for 95$ fitted in and 2 years warranty.
Don't forget you can also buy discounted giftcards for SCA
Where do you get these discounted gift cards from?
Ah shit. Just bought a supercharge over the weekend coz century wasnt on discount At autobarn
