It's my understanding that, provided you already have a DJ's store card, you have the option to purchase B&O products through DJ's on terms of up to 2 years interest free at any time. Extended periods are sometimes available depending on the promotion - but as always, you'll need to check the fine print.

i advise against this though. I was charged an account establishment fee per transaction, and for 4 years (48 months) you pay $3 per month account keeping fee > interest free? no such thing.

I've used their 5 year interest free offer a couple of times for my B&O purchases. The $2.95 monthly accounts fee is not really of concern to me in the whole picture.

I was not charged an establishment fee on either occasion!

Yes, that's true Dave - I was charged the same. But I guess it depends on the size of the purchase and your personal financial circumstances as to whether it's worthwhile. For me it worked out to be a very cost effective approach. But you're right though, it's certainly not 'free'.

Over the years we have been invited to many launches and promotions.  The favourite for me was the opening of the 75 years exhibition in Sydney.  We caught up with most of the dealers we have passed through and had a look at some fascinating new ideas and the old.  My husbands liked the Blended Scotch tasting at our Willoughby store.  Freebies were 3 minatures of Chivas Regal Blends(a friend drove him home) we still have them on our bar.  The launch of the Avant 32 was good too(I ate the chocolate Avant.  Too good to waste).  You may not receive many discounts but on the whole they look after their loyal customers.  Our nearest store(Willoughby) is an hour and a half away.  One of the staff lives local to us and will look in and pick up items to return for repair and also offer great advice.
