So it seems CRC have detected the hole through which the hackers got the CC details and have now patched it (with a puncture repair kit I presume)...

So it must be about time they done another 10 or 15% off promo to restore customer confidence and good will.

Got quite a few things I need - so c'mon CRC don't leave it too long....

well, they've given anyone who's actually been affected a £30 voucher which is quite good...

If you were one of those scammed they are giving away £30 vouchers - spent mine already. Lets hope it doesn't result in another credit card cancellation!

I find merlin are good now, plus the free sign up thing on the front page gives 10% off and delivery was quicker than CRC has been recently, there are other companies to try!

Let me get this right, you didn't get scammed and you want money off for nowt?

Yes, please 😉

The thing is actually it makes sense - lots of people will have heard about the problems and will consider going elsewhere even if it didn't affect them this time.

FWIW, I used to pretty much get everything from CRC - these days, I check there too but they're often not the cheapest now and their delivery isn't anywhere near as good as it used to be.

Actually now you mention it, nah. If they offer a discount, I won't use it cos I wasn't affected. It just wouldn't be moral would it? 😉

They'd have to offer me £100 voucher to come back to them and for me to recommend them. Please Email it to dobbo@dobbomail.com.

But some folk who didn't contact them also got vouchers sent. So either they know who got done by other means or their senting them to everyone who made a purchase by card in a certain period.
Anyway fair pay to them its a very good come back to us offer.

Worth a try with your email in the voucher box on the basket page 😉 you might be lucky

It comes in a email, but all its telling you to do is enter your email address into the voucher box on the basket page.

They do 15% off quite a bit. I keep getting email about them knocking off at least 15% - problem is that is their general price.

anyone affected who recieved a £30 voucher and only realised the link with CRC through the earlier thread should donate the voucher to me for alerting them to it 😉

I had a call from my card company the other day, and they've subsequently closed my card account following several dodgy transactions. (opening a new one for me, I hasten to add!). I've used that card a few times with crc in the last couple of months.

Thought it was good that they spotted it and called me before I even knew myself.

Damn it, I got hit and never got round to reporting it to them.

Fingers crossed they spot it anyway, probably too late to report it as they'll think I'm just a chancer but might try tonight anyway.

I feel I missed out now because I always use paypal so I didn't get scammed. 🙁
