Offering me $25 off any order (before tax and shipping) of $75 or more. Interesting? Never seen that approach before....
 
Me too. I haven’t ordered anything for a while and was wondering if anything would happen — you know, suspend account, something like that. Nope, just the email offer today.

Pretty decent discount, I’ll kick an order their way to say thanks. I like dealing with them. As for unusual, I get the same thing from Marks as well for work clothing although not as good a reduction. But really, a guy can only use so many shirts, right? ;)

I keep meaning to go to Marks I hear they have t shirts with the pocket that seems to have ended around the non smoker push.
 
A lot of places have little Easter eggs. If I’m not in a hurry I put items into my shopping cart then just walk away. ( assumes you have logged in with an account )

Shars, and a few others will start to send you email reminders and sweeten the deal with free shipping or 5-20% off if you come back and buy

I’ve have success on/off with princess auto, peavy mart etc.

Well I didn't get that email. I tried the @trlvn code and got a message that I wasn't qualified to use it. Thought maybe I had to have a registered account with them for it to work so I registered an account. Now when I try to sign in I get a message that my account doesn't exist. I really feel now like they don't care about my business!

Craig I would suggest you re-register your account with KBC and/or try another password. Unusual for a new KBC account not to work unless it hasn't been processed as yet, by that I mean you should receive an email from KBC telling you your account is now open.

Try, try, again likely a momentary hiccup in their system!

I'm not having a problem. Been logged in all morning looking at stuff. I'm wondering if this offer went out to registered accounts that have stale saved shopping carts? I've had a saved cart sitting there for months now.

Sorry Craig my oversight, it was @ Canadium post I was reading. Need to go back to bed then get out on the right side. LOL
 
I got the email as well, will have to go and have a look. Need a couple special taps that not everybody carries but they have them.

What are you looking to get? That site has way too much "I want" stuff on it:p

Yeah! I find it all too easy to drop a bundle there. Too many wants! I spent close to a $1000 before Christmas at KBC for presents for myself. Apparently that wasn't good enough to earn me any special promotional offers. I must not be playing the game right.
 
I get those promo emails occasionally from KBC. I mean separate from the regular flyer discounts. It could be generated by algorithm how much you spend, how frequently... who knows could be sales secret sauce. I'm pretty sure the email discount would be over & above anything else on sale because the online price already reflects sale price & then there is like a coupon code box you put in the online order before checkout. As always - check actual prices shipping included with other suppliers. If their regular is 15% higher and you get 15% off, you are back to square one. For example I have always found their Mitutoyo prices higher at KBC vs alternative places. I think they price matched but it was a call-in thing. It had to be a verifiable item, in stock, in country etc. Where KBC shines is hipping. very hard to beat that flat rate to your doorstep

Have a hunch the big league starts around $5,000.00 and up annually. Our small orders keep their doors open then they forget about us. Just saying!
