Bargain iPads at curry's and pic world

[si019]

Brought a iPad mini 3 yesterday and had the normal conversation about protection, however when it came to there knownow cover was offered a £25 iTunes card, £10 of the iPad and first mouth free. No contract so I can cancel and wil not have to pay anything.

Not sure what else is included in this offer but not a bad deal.

I bet when you cancel, you have to hand back the voucher, which is only right, nobody can give things away for free. Check out the small print.

He won't. I used to work at PC World as a manager, and they will do anything to flog you cover. It's all about KPIs for the store, not profit.

Stupid way to run a business, I know, but that's the way they work. They have heavy targets on selling add on's and cover, gross profit is very rarely looked at. Therefore they will give you all sorts to make you take the cover.

Their targets only take into account the number of sign ups at the till and not cancellations, so the store really couldn't give a damn if you cancel it the minute you walk out the door.

My friend works for the guys who do John Lewis guarantees. Given my experience with the currys pic world crew, I would avoid that mob and go for the guarantee security.
