Whenever I use mine at Grace Bros sales (ie their 20% off toys/lego), It
always gets added on to make it 30%. Haven't tried K-mart yet as their range
isnt usually as good (not around my area anyhow).

The discount card also works at World 4 Kids if theres one near you. They
were expanding rapidly anout 5 years ago,  but now I think there's only a
handful around.

One of life's little mysteries is whether or not a Coles Myer shareholder
will get their discount at sales. Lots of people seem to have different
experiences. However, my friend (a scientist by trade) claims to have done
the analysis and she concludes that:

* if the sale is "X% off store-wide", then you don't get the additional
Coles Myer discount
* if the sale is "X% off <some type/brand>", e.g. women's clothes or Lego,
then you do get the CM discount
* if the sale is on miscellaneous items, then you do get the CM discount

Certainly the only time I was refused the discount was recently at the 15%
storewide sale at KMart, so the theory works for me.

(...) This applies to Myer too. You actually get 28% off (1*.8*.9=.72=72%=28% discount) but I'm just being picky because I do far too much math. I wouldn't have a clue about the other stores in the group though. Tim (anal-retentive) Gould (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
