Is it worth it ? - Shops Away

Is it worth it?

I’m looking to buy something and I have two options.

Vendor 1 – Price £469, if I buy through shops away I will earn 3283 FC miles. (5 miles per £ from shops away and 2 per £ on the black AMEX card.)
Vendor 2 – Price £398, if I buy through shops away I will earn 1592 FC miles. (2 miles per £ from shops away and 2 per £ on the black AMEX card.)

Both vendors offer the same delivery, free next day, and both offer the same 5 year guarantee.

So is it worth paying the extra £71 to get an extra 1691 FC miles? (vendor 1 will not price match vendor 2).

Your thoughts please?

IMHO - no it's not worth it when you can purchase 4000 FC miles for just £60 (or 5000 miles for £75).

Agreed. No, most definitely not worth it.

Just make sure the cheaper one doesn't use a code - found out a company I've been using that have started sending discount codes out after you've received your order, voids miles if you then use that code on your next order.

As an side note, they seem to be very very slow in actually moving the miles from shops away to your account lately. It can sometimes take 3 or 4 months , oh and the search function is next to useless !

No there's no discount code the price is their standard price which undercuts vendor 1

With that cash difference go for the cheaper option.
