The great HMV Student-discount heist
My housemate at uni was a bit of a wideboy and wouldn't miss an opportunity to get something for nothing.

He used to go into HMV with his student card and buy something, didn't matter what, with his student card for 10% discount (although more often than not it was a CD so he could copy it and get double freebie).

He would then take said item back to HMV, without a receipt (unwanted gift, lost receipt- you know the drill!) It would have HMV price stickers still on it so they knew it was theirs. He'd get the full price back- 10% instant profit!

Of course, he couldn't get cash, but he built himself a good nest egg of store credit, which he then used to buy a PS2 (back when they were new!)

Apparently in the larger London stores you could repeat the scam several times a day- buy from one till, take back to one on another floor, etc.

I wish I had the balls to do it myself!
