    First Post First Anniversary Combo Breaker
    I've just found a shop small which has closed down. Last year they credited us with £5 when that happened. Has anyone tried to contact them about this sort of thing please?

    (I got so cross with them earlier this week – actually about their increasing my credit limit – that I actually sent them a real letter! I took the opportunity to complain about the lack of an email address or secure messaging which their letter still thought existed but which has been pulled, as far as I can see.)

    Is it still ill advised to get a APG more than £10?
    I note some of the best deals generate one higher and not sure that I dare ;)

    It is only those above £20 which require a supervisor to authorise it.

    It never has been, it all depends on your paranoia risk-aversiveness level.
    However, nowadays up to £19.99 can be used without authorisation.

    Less than £20 (in most stores) and you can process it yourself on self scan (or staffed till) without a supervisor,

    The vouchers don’t currently scan as it throws up an error - on the normal shopping screen there is an Enter PLU/barcode button before you go to pay - click on that and enter the barcode number off the apg voucher. It then asks for the receipt - either scan or manually enter the number above the barcode.

    You then go to pay, enter your payment and an authorisation screen comes up - Accept and payment then goes through (if voucher is rejected it normally means you mistyped the voucher or receipt barcode!). If it asks for authorisation then the SS staff should be able to process (normally when over £20, but sometimes when less than this depending on the store - and sometimes a random check).

    Maybe I was paranoid back in 2015 LOL.

    Might try it today in order to get a variety :rotfl:

    Mixed results so far on the HUKD thread - some have received a credit, others not - their CS don’t seem to be as accommodating so far, the map isn’t particularly helpful and it seems to be taking a while to get up and running.

    I've just bought myself one of these for my daily walks. This colour is only £1.32 inc P&P. Not sure I'll have the nerve to wear it, but would be great for keeping warm whilst wombling too.

    Good morning everyone. Anon, thank you so much for this. I have a trip to London coming up! And round me the small shops are not very good apart from my hairdresser.

    Update: nothing very near Euston, though it will prompt me to go for a short walk to the two nearest shops. Thanks anyway.

    You are welcome - it may be that there are others available and just not added yet as the individual developing that map has based it on reports of success and will add more as more reports come in. The main Am3x map may have others.

    HTH

    In my little A a supervisor was needed for £2.80.
