Just a question does anyone know how to get a replacement card I seem to have washed mine in my overall pocket at work . I actualy thought I had lost it but it turned up today in the clean washing in one piece still but it is all bent out of shape .
The local shop are not being very helpful about it and are saying I need to reapply for a new card , and as I am not actually in the trade I cant do that .
The card Ihave was from when I joined the other site before I found OOF so other than rejoining that and possibly being issued another card I do not know how best to get a replacement any suggestions anyone .

and for £20 per year you will have a TC - it's a bargain!

Try another branch.
Or is there a phone number on the card?

But is it not better Jimbob to have a full Vx TC, rather than use Halfords for pattern parts?
:-/ :-/ :-/ :D ;)
That's why I suggested this one. ;)
-
Its best to have Both ;)
Get a lot of my tools much cheaper at halfords :y

Wasnt aware you could get a trade card for Halford's from a 3rd party.
-
yup, and only 1 3rd party at that :'(
I'm very much hoping they do not cancel cards, as my old vxon membership runs out in a week or 2.
FYI joined 2 years ago for a halfords card and the promise of a vauxhall card, which now, 2 years later, is still no nearer arriving!
bloody amateurs!
look on there every few weeks, out of interest, anyone queryieing their long promised card just gets shot down in flames!
-
Your right JB its good to have both I only use vx parts now I do not even have to say anything at the dealer I go to he knows me now and someone else has an account there so they use that name I pay cash to them and I think it counts for something to the other member everytime the account is used .
Halfords is useful for tools and lamps oh and wiper blades I lent my card to someone at work to get wiper blades and he paid less than half price for them using the card .
Hence the reason my card was in my overal pocket >:(
-
My membership ran out a while ago with them but the card was still working till last week any way :P It may be worth rejoining the money I have saved using it soon pays for it , maybe I should not be so tight ;)

Nah, if it goes I now have enough 'trade' invoices in my own name to blag one.
-
I tried that too but she just told me you need to have an NVQ or proof you are in the trade .
I will give it a try in another branch or two I might get lucky , I might even get a new card ;D

Trade invoices in YOUR name from Vauxhall are enough :y
-
I have a Halfords trade card from VxON, I have no further use for it as I no longer wish to
break around with cars get my hands dirty.
-
Is it just service parts we get discount on from Halford's or does it cover Car Steros and Tomtom gizmo's etc?
-
Car bits & tools only :(
Very good savings though
-
LFF64 - I found that your local branch were quite good for giving out cards, thats where I blagged mine from.
I know they are clamping down - the guy who borrowed mine at lunchtime said the assistant said they were asking for sigs again.
-
just tell them you dont have to re-apply, you already have an existing account and just need a replacement card, and tell them the bank didnt make you re-apply for a new bank account when you lost your bank card!!

As did mine today, not asked for a sig for ages .
And its quite surprising what you do get discount on.....not just tools and servicing stuff.
I bought Holts exhaust bandage (not for my omega this time ;D)
£3.90 ish i think reduced to £1.40
A 6v flourescent lamp £5 reduced to £4
And something that prevents water leaks £5 reduced to £1.10
:y

If it does ask em for a halfrauds card in your own right, flash your TC card and bingo, as the chap said when I did it "If its good enough for Vauxhall it's good enough for us."

I went around loads of Halfords trying that, until LFF64's local branch said yes.
-
i think as far as halfords card replacement goes you just go into a store and tell them you have a halfords trade account but have lost your card and they should just give you another. theres no reason for them to get arsey aslong as you dont go in asking for one on a regular basis... and iv not signed my halfords trade card and have never been asked to sign it- my mate who works there took the piss and said they dont accept em unsigned.
if in doubt.. complain ;)
-
And they can get your old account number off your magnetic strip on your card if text unreadable
-
just blag it to what ever level they ask, its all i did, if you know someone with a small buisiness even better, but i wouldnt volunteer the info until they ask, there are p[lenty of branches, just keep going til you get one :y
-
The card is readable and in one piece just very bent going to try giving customer services a ring and see what they say :y
-
Meant to ask , if they use the number on the card is that a link to me or VXON as thats were it came from ?
