PeteB99 said:Halfords bike to work people can order any standard bike from Wiggle (but not sale items or special offers). I've got a Focus Mares Cross on order which should arrive in the next couple of weeks. In our scheme you also get 17% of the bikes worth in Halfords vouchers to spend at the same time on equipment. I've got all the stuff I need really so I'll be stocking up on consumeables (spare chains , cassettes etc) for the Focus and the rest of the fleet.
Congrats on the purchase.
Can you confirm what value Halfords have put on the bike. On Wiggle it is £699.99. If Halford's charge anything more than that then anyone looking to get a Focus Cayo would not be able to as it is valued at £999 and as most schemes are limited to £1000. If Halfords are adding premiums then this amount would be exceeded.
The 17% voucher sounds a good deal however without knowing the details of your scheme I would hazard a guess that the employer is passing on 17% of the 17.5% they have saved on VAT which they can reclaim Any good employer would pass this full saving on anyway so if it is then they are merely just acting in the spirit of the scheme and not seeking to make a quick buck out the scheme themselves.
