Health Service Discounts Arvostelua 

Fantastic platform with proper discounts and offers that really make a difference

A great platform to get many discounts, I check on here whilst shopping for deals. Absolutely a brilliant service.

I've used Health Service Discounts to purchase discounted gift cards and, on the face of it, the savings can be worthwhile. However, I've recently experienced a downside that I think other users should be aware of.

I purchased a discounted Argos gift card through Health Service Discounts specifically to buy a television. Argos accepted the order, took payment and then cancelled the order due to a stock issue on their side.

The problem was that I was no longer left with my money in the bank. Instead, I was left holding Argos gift card credit. Although the balance was eventually restored to the gift card, it highlighted a risk that isn't always obvious when buying retailer gift cards through discount schemes.

When everything goes smoothly, the savings are great. But if the retailer cancels your order, the retailer goes into administration, or you simply change your mind, you may find your money tied up in gift card credit rather than being available as cash. That means you can lose flexibility and potentially be forced to spend the money with a retailer you no longer wish to use.

This wasn't really a fault of Health Service Discounts themselves, and I did receive the discounted gift card I purchased. However, the experience has made me much more cautious about buying retailer-specific gift cards, even at a discount.

My advice is to only purchase gift cards when you're confident you'll use the retailer, and to understand that "saving money" can sometimes come at the cost of flexibility if something goes wrong.

Good and plenty of variety, easy to see what suits and obtain, thank you

some offers are interesting, but many are not at times.
Discounts are good.

Easy and efficient. Some excellent discounts

Great app. Used for IKEA, Coffee #1 and many other things both online and offline. Can’t speak highly enough of its simplicity and the fact that the codes work.

easy to use and fab for saving money which is always a good thing

Bosch discount help to reduce the cost

Good useful discounts, but hampered by not being able to automatically top up

None of the retailers I use on a regular basis are listed.

I've been a nurse for years, and will have saved a decent amount by using Health Service Discounts and ODE card.
Not many perks in the NHS / public services generally so thisis a must for me.

Have only used Health Service Discounts with eating out and occasionally paying a Tesco shop in store. Only problem I had was when my shop was £100+ and I couldn’t remember my PIN number!

Excellent discounts for NHS Staff. Saved me £200 on a fridge freezer I recently purchased, thank you very much!
Would recommend this service to all NHS members of staff.

Great choice of discounts available and often against unexpected products or companies. Easy to access and use the website.

Health Service Discounts "invited" me to update my (negative) 3-star review, so I did. I dropped it to 1 star (for their audacious pestering) and added some edits. I would emphasize that this is only my opinion/experience. The "deals" for people in about my income bracket, seem to be predominantly "bait & switch" tactics (apparently primarily designed to lure people into stores, hunting desperately for some sort of "in-store only" deal on a vital item like food) because god knows these same people often go to great lengths to avoid other people due to their loud obnoxiousness, total disrespect of themselves and others, disappointing hygiene, and literally climbing over each other in the store (Tesco) and/or curtly pushing you/your cart "out of their way" (also Tesco). In this case it was a "get 5% cashback at Tesco" "deal". They don't lead with this info. It appears to be designed to get you to open/review the email to then find out that it is for "in-store only" purchases. I believe people want delivery and generally don't want the store anymore. It takes lots of extra time and driving, bussing, etc. to get there (which is bad for the planet). They almost never have all of what you want. The store is a dying dinosaur. R.I.P. store. Additionally, I've researched some of the online "deals" offered, again for those in my income bracket (i.e., not holidays, fashion, high-end retail, etc.), and found those "deals" to be equally dubious (though in perhaps somewhat different ways). With those, I've encountered "deals" which require you to contact the vendor, who then offers you a better "deal". It's really frustrating.

Quick to find what you're looking for.
Good deals.
Easy site to use with lots of fab deals!

There is so much relief using HSD. The app is very easy to navigate.lots of discount stores. I really enjoy using the app and I strongly recommend all NHS Staff to use it to there advantage.

Great discounts on a variety of products.
