CycleScheme Question

Hi guys, to all those who have gone through this I just wanted to ask abit about it.

I'm looking into this scheme lot this week.

I've narrowed down a few options on what bike I want now and ready to apply.

I have gone through the process on the website and I have entered the maximum of £1000.00 because i will be looking to get a bike ranging in between £850 - £1000.
I have not yet finished the application but I was wondering If I put down the maximum amount for the certificate for them to start processing. Will I have to use the maximum of that £1000 or will I be able to choose a lower cost bike and still be able to claim it.

Many thanks

Ah thanks guys!

And im guessing with the certificate you can only use it at one retailer, you cant spread it out at different retailers can you? Or can you?

Ah thanks guys!

I have just hit the button to apply for the certificate, and now the waiting game.

The FD at work who oversees all of the applications for the scheme has just emailed me saying that he has had to decline my request due to I didn't put down where I was buying for.......

Seems abit petty when I ticked the option of "I've yet to choose my retailer"

Anyway, he said Im meant to have a written quotation. However I am going to be choosing an online retailer, Evans Cycles. Shall I select my local Branch, as you cannot select Evans cycles as a standalone option only the branches.

Also, how to I obtain a quote via online. Do i have to email them so I can get it in writing?

Sorry for the newbie questions guys, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
