Lee Valley Gift Card Sale

Lee Valley has a sale going on their gift cards. Looks like it's about 10%
off.

I plan on saving mine for the next free shipping event.

I don't see any mention of "special event card" on the page:
http://www.leevalley.com/us/home/page.aspx?p=73254

Looks like a normal gift card to me.

Of course they let you use your gift card to buy items on sale. When
you check out on line you enter your gift card number and you GC balance
is reduced by the total of the ticket. Handled just like any other gift
card.

What a bunch of greedy SOBs you all are. It is a GIFT card, meant to be
given away as a GIFT, not kept for yourself to save a few bucks.

If anyone needs my address to send me one, just email me for a quick
response. Then I'll know your heart is in the right place!

Exactly! And understand that their service is almost second to none.
If you have a problem they, 99.9 % of the time, handle it with one
contact.

Much of their stuff is significantly better quality than
average, and the high prices are justified. Of course,
some of it is not, and is simply overpriced. You have to
be a discerning shopper.

I can't find what "special event card" means. They are not like regular
gift cards. Anyone else have any luck on finding the rules for special
event card?

A $ 1000. card will cost $ 850.

Use it for anything except Festool or SawStop.

It's as simple as that.

It says that it can be used for future purchases - which would seem to
indicate that paying off your account is not allowed.

In case you are interested, if you order at "The Woodworking Shows",
they give free shipping.

I ordered some lawn mower parts from Troy-Bilt Tuesday afternoon paying
for "second day air" at $9.99, and had them by 6:00 pm the next day
(Wednesday), and so I was able to install them today. Your post
reminded me that I wanted to thank them for their "expediency". I just
spent 5-10 minutes browsing around for a way to contact them by email,
but couldn't find anything--the messages they sent me said "do not
reply". Sign of the times? lol

if you want to spend 850 you can save 15 percent

but i wonder how the card works

do you add the money to your account
because then you could also buy things on sale and save even more

but i wonder if they allow that

Obviously, this is a thinly-veiled disguise to offer a 15% discount to
those who agree to spend $1000 in advance. Nothing wrong with that, as
someone spending at that level is perhaps entitled to a discount. And
I'm sure there is a percentage of gift cards that, for whatever reason,
are never fully redeemed.

As far as gifts go, put me down for the 3pc spokeshave set and the
router plane. That's only about $400 though, so I can't buy a
card--maybe someone else will have something left over on his or her
card? : ) LOL

it is a good deal if you shop there enough
also consider that the 850 can boost flyer miles and/or whatever else
your credit card gets you.
