That is why they are looking at stopping it

Right.. i have checked this out today...and the discount is the discretion of each branch manager....but 20% is the minimum you will get which is still a good discount.....

But this still doesn't alter the fact that you will get 15% of the cost of the tiles etc when you send a customer in.....

I have been using this voucher system for a bit now it is a good little earner at the end of the month.

20%..?..well i have it on good authority that new cash trade accounts are to be set up on 30%.....so go back and tell them that shaun mason said this....did you mention tilers forums hugo..?..

Dave, I did mention the Tilers' Forum

That is what got me the 20% discount, bit stingy if you ask me

I dread to think what I would have got if I didn't mention the forum :lol:

Maybe I need to speak to them regards to your investigations?

 

[DHTiling]

Hugo even if they started you off on 20% then this will increase the more you use them anyway....

 

[cornish_crofter]

The problem is that at 20% it's not a huge saving on Topps, if any.

I know you can't compare their products like for like, but Topps, despite their odd behaviour, are keen to get my business, whereas CTD are potentially standing in the way of my using them instead.

I've said my piece, so I'll shut up now

 

[DHTiling]

Also hugo......CTD will price match wot topps offer you.....

p.s. now you can smile...

 

[cornish_crofter]

I did actually say that topps were chepar for a given product, the woman didn't offer to match prices.

I wonder if the Plymouth Branch are as helpful as the other branches.

 

[DHTiling]

Hugo....my good man..if you don't ask you don't get.....i assume you are not a shy guy.. so BLOODY ask...:lol:

 

[cornish_crofter]

I did mention about a price being more than Topps, even with my discount, the only response was all that they could do was to review my discount after I'd used them for a while. In summary the subtle approach didn't work

I'm going to be a bit more blunt I think - I'm not afraid to ask.

I'll suggest that they up me to 30%, and match topps prices if they are still out, then see what they say.

Ive had one of the voucher booklets for customers for ages now, but have never got round to using it much to my detrement, I started on a 30% cash account, although started of with a great relationship from the word go with my local CTD thanks to a member of this forum who knows who he is.

Topps.....pah, they set me up a cash account and i got a price for some tiles for my own bathroom, when i calculated the discount they were giving me it was about 5%, not a good start and i've never been back since.

Just got my voucher booklet from the local CTD in Maidstone. Can't wait to use it..
