No it doesn't!

It did when I used it!
I have some other things to buy, and I may go to CTC Shop/Wiggle, and I'll try again.
If you have any complaints, there's no point expecting any official reply on here, this is just a forum for like-minded people to air their ideas and comments and advice.
Get in touch with CTC via the CTC website.

I went in from the CTC site and tried to log in as I'd been a customer of an earlier manifestation of CTC shop. That didn't work so I re-registered.
To test just now with a fresh cleared browser, I set up a dummy account in the same way (coming in from the CTC site) to watch it carefully and when I went to check out it DID NOT ask for my CTC number and I did not get any discount (I chose a non-discounted item). Then, again with a fresh browser I also processed an order WITHOUT logging in, coming in from the CTC site and during check out this time, it of course asked me to set up an account which I did on the fly. Then it DID ask me for my CTC number.
With an account already set up, and logged in, everything works as described. Its just that first account set up, doing so before you order breaks the link with the CTC site.
As regards discounts though, its still a swizz. Nearly everything is already discounted and so you get the same price as anybody else. The only real point of checking your CTC number is so CTC get their cut. I mean, I don't mind that, I'll buy on price, and I'm glad to let CTC have their bit, but the publicity about the shop does smack of misrepresentation don't you think?
Well, I know what a forum is Mike, but CTC people do look in here nevertheless and pick up the vibes. In fact I'll mention it to my CTC Councillor when I see him on Wednesday.
See you up the road
