[v0dka]

Hi guys, wanna check those who got the membership issit useful?
2 year $30 and sometimes i see some of the stuffs they sell do have special price.
and also they do provide in house warranty on some products?

Yes , if you buy things frequently from them. Also you can redeem car park

I find most of their price are pretty expensive. Only the member price reduce it to reasonable. SLS had better deals most of the time.

ya.. but their MOMO wheel selling $99 for members. maybe it's because older products so they clear at cheaper price.

btw pa9797, i don't drive lei. any other advantages?

Sometimes they do have good deals like the recent Reclusa clearance sale ($59 for members when it's $100+ elsewhere)

most of the time prices in SLS are cheaper. but i hate going to SLS, its so crowded there during weekends

One of the reason why I got my membership is that one of the branches quite near where I stay =)

Good for small items or if I need to get emergency supplies

They do have good deals if you know where to look and because I do spend thousand of dollars a year with them, I am able to claim gift vouchers and other freebies from them.

I guess before you make your purchases, shop around for prices and if Challenger offers a better deal, no harm buying from them.

Why pay $30 for the membership when you can have it for free?

Yes, I feel its worth it cause I sometimes to shop at challenger. Some simple things like CD/DVD media I can buy at challenger instead of going all the way to SLS to buy. Then small little things like thumb drives and games also can buy at challenger.

Been their members for years already.

I think it depends on individual. For myself, they do have some deals which are good for members. Since I stopped going to SLS and I have one challenger close to my house, it's very convenient.

A Challenger staff explained to me yesterday their 2-year ($30) membership has a guarantee of sorts. For example if you fail to consume $50 worth of discounts over the two years, they will refund you $40 (within six months of membership expiry) which makes it very safe to join their memberships. Car park is $2 off-set from the bill upon $50 or more in purchase.

 

[v0dka]

what about LCD monitors? do they do 1 to 1 for any pixels or they stick to distrubutors warranty policy?

 

[eddy2099sg]

Like other places, all warranty are offered by the distributors. However, you may buy extended warranty from Challenger which either their side or the manufacturer would handle the warranty.

What they mean huh? Pay $30 and 2 years they refund you $40 if you don't use the card at all?

 

[eddy2099sg]

Not sure about that. I think you probably need to use the card to make purchases. Best to ask the Challenger CSO for clarification.

 

[v0dka]

meaning if u apply and u buy things without discount or u didnt make any purchase for the 2 yrs, there will be a refund $40.
each member are entitled with $50 guarantee discount. no consumed then refund.

just now go apply. 5 mins is all it takes.

 

[poneglyph]

go for it only if you frequent the shop. if not, i think it is better to give it a miss.

 

[jokerpoker81]

it's only worth it when

1) outlets near your place
2) shop for IT stuffs regularly.
3) don't mind slightly higher price tags at times.
