jeebowhite Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Hi guys something I learned and thought to share, though not guaranteed everywhere, lots of places I have visited do this.... So if you are shopping but your not in any hurry to buy whatever you are after try this.... Log in or create an account with whoever (say euro car parts for example), when logged in, you need to have cookies enabled for this to work. Stick whatever you want in the basket and then close the browser. That's it. Now, the server sees you were going to buy but you didn't. After a day or so you get a reminder or two you left something in your basket and remind you its there. Then after 3 or 4 days you could well get a discount code to entice you to buy. It's not guaranteed everywhere but a fair few places have done it for me over the years. Euro car parts offer a 15% voucher after about 3 days. Enjoy :) Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss max Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Top tip There James I have benefited from this sort of deal inadvertently when ordering computer parts. Items in basket and had to leave without checking out. Few re minders and then a discount offer. So sound advice indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 It's a little detail, they want your custom they know if you were happy to buy at full whack the first reminder would have done, I randomly do this to see if they would give a bigger discount lol Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
