  Sounds a great deal – thanks Raffles.

  Just a word of warning for business travellers, you obviously won’t get a VAT receipt when buying ‘duty free’ so often the real cost of good purchased from Dixons Travel ends up being significantly higher than buying from a normal supplier (say the Apple Store) and claiming the VAT back. That’s caught me out a few times…

    Surely, if you show them an EU boarding pass, you WILL get a VAT receipt. They have no choice.

      Indeed, intra-EU they only match the prices down to duty free levels, they can’t actually provide it duty free so you potentially do even better with the getting VAT back on top if you’re a VAT-registered company!

        Well they don’t match down to duty free levels, but it is a lower duty inclusive price, so if you were going to VAT reclaim on a business basis, you can only be up as a result of buying it there.

        Just make SURE they record you are on a European VAT Area flight – they (Dixons) obviously have a commercial advantage if you are on a non-European VAT Area flight as they can pocket more money, and … they have been known to make mistakes with which flight you are on.

  Strange, I got the email on this earlier this week but my wife hasn’t, has anyone else had the offer sent to them?

    It’s on the website and they even advertise it instore (I was there yesterday) so not targeted.

  Just a mention that the 1000 points from the VS promo worked out ok, points credited to Heathrow Rewards account (set up on iphone whilst on train to Heathrow at the weekend!) and swiftly transferred over to Avios.

  Yes I got my 1000 bonus points (+100 sign up bonus as well) for using the Heathrow car park. Do remember if you use the Heathrow business and long stay car parks you should provide your rewards number so you get the points for that as well.
