No.
Its between 0 and 80%.
Not specific on any items.
You could search google for lists of things that people have put up on forums of the discount they got and see if what your after has been listed.

I tried that few weeks ago.As helpful as they were to run about and get prices etc,he told me he couldn't tell me set price without swiping my card through.
I actually think it was Gary i spoke to.

yeah, they always say they cant give me a price without scanning the card. even when im in the store they always have to scan the card then scan the item to find out the price.
always thought it was a bit of a ballache

They don't have to scan the card, they can input the number manually
I know this from the numerous times I've forgotten mine so I made a note of the number somewhere handy

they dont even have to input the number to just give you a quote, if they say they do they are being lazy
