very impressed with amazon video love the way you can choose between match commentary, studio or the crowd.
Interesting, no date hard to believe right now as it's a price match. No where else has it that cheap.
It has been this price at Costco Croydon for the last couple of weeks, with the LG 55C9 at £1200.Someone over on HUKD posted Costco Thurrock have the TX-55GZ950B @ £1140. It's not online.
Help! Outrageous treatment from Curry’s. I called through to ask if they’d price-match PRCDirect and RGB Direct £1700 Black Friday offer for the 65” C9. They agreed last Sunday. Called to ask when and how I’d be refunded the £200 difference. They said the price promise had been ‘authorised’ and would be returned to the gift card i paid with in 3-5 days. I called back to chase today (6 days later) and was told ‘finance department’ cancelled the refund and didn’t leave a note on the system. It beggars belief! Does anybody have advice or going through the same thing with Currys? Tough to swallow as it’s literally going to put me £200 out of pocket let alone the 2 hours plus I’ve been on hold on the phone.
Yes, I got a 7% discount on the gift cards, so that took the price down further. I had thought my hard work trying to get the TV into a more affordable bracket had all paid off when the price promise refund was agreed and authorised by what I thought was a big reputable company. Didn’t see this coming at all. Customer Services padding the buck to a Finance department I can’t even call. Hard to believe this sort of thing happens. I guess I need advice from small claims - like you say. Wrong to let them get away with it by hiding behind hours of calls put on on-hold and buck-passing CS people.Did you pay for everything with gift card? If so you'll have to chase them unfortunately or consider small claims as a last resort. Find their CEO's email here:

I find it saves a lot of time, as most company's CS lines are setup to filter out complaints through attrition
On the other hand, if you paid at least £100 by CC (always a good idea), you can take it up with your Card Company under the Consumer Credit Act section 75. They are jointly and severally liable for any purchase where you pay atleast £100 with the card (even if the balance is paid by other means).

Great tip on CCA protection. I’ll try the CEO, I have it in my mind he’s just going to press delete when he sees it in his mailbox on Monday morning, but worth a try. Just had a look at Currys reviews on Trustpilot and there are a lots of complaints about Currys withholding price promise, but nothing about agreeing and then reneging at will.Figured that's why you used gift cards. My wife works for the NHS, so she also gets a discount on them. For future reference make sure you pay £100 by credit card and the rest with gift card. Then you still get CCA protection on the whole purchase.
Email their CEO. Usually it does the trick.
Good luck.
I too am curious about the price of the 77C9 in Europe and where to buy from.I'm in, I phoned Germanys biggest elec retailer last year and the moment I told them I was British she slammed the phone down on me, but seriously great idea if we could rustle up the troops to commit.

Thanks for the steer, it’s appreciated!

This is good advice and actually what I'm doing when I go in to buy my C9 tomorrow. Although it was my understanding that it has to be over £100 so at least £100.01. I was planning on putting £150 down and the rest on employee vouchers.
No, there’s no cash back from TCB or Quidco if you pay with vouchers/gift card. It’s one or the other. Did my homework on that front. You should be able to get 1% cash back through the employee scheme you got the vouchers through though.Also does anyone know if Quidco still goes through if you've purchased with those employee vouchers?
Received my 55E9 from Crampton & Moore today.
The call with Sky took less than two minutes which is amazing, I was paying £45 a month for my Sky Q multi-room package and now I'm paying nothing for 18 months. By my maths that's a £810 saving (less a £10 Sky admin fee) meaning the TV cost me £599!
Doesn’t that mean you paid £1409 for a 55E9 ?
I paid £1399 for it - on 18 month 0% finance, and then am saving £800 from my Sky bill for the next 18 months at the same time.
