Hi I bought a cd from play.com the other day and as its been a few days I checked my account and it now says they are awaiting stock, and it clearly says in their bumph that they will not charge your card until an item is dispatched.

600 BA Miles for £2.50 in Tesco Clubcard Vouchers = FREE FLIGHTS
OK, this is on the same theme as the Tesco Clubcard Holidays thread, BUT... Once the points are transferred to a BA Executive Club card, they aren't identifiable as Tesco points, so there should be no problem with the higher prices for Clubcard bookings. 12000 BA Miles gets you a BA Domestic/Most Europe return flight = £50…

Was at M&S Burnley tonight and they had their Hot or Not chocolate liqueur (tastes like a chocolate flavoured Baileys, normally costs £7.99) reduced at £2 off, only the ticket read £3.99 instead of £5.99. This was one of those big red tickets, not something which had been printed instore. When I queried the amount I got…
£10 off £50+ spend at GAP
I was in the GAP on Oxford St yesterday and they were offering £10 off on a spend of £50 or more if you *tried* on a pair of jeans. (Once you tried a pair of jeans you were given a voucher redeemable against purchases - valid until the end of October I think). Although its one £10 off voucher per person, if you utilise…
HMV instore - cheap GameCube games
This seems to be instore only. I went into my local HMV in Norwich earlier and they are selling off a lot of GameCube games. Didn't see anything too great but managed to pick up SSX3 for £3.99, which I thought was pretty good. It probably varies between stores what games are cheap. Worth a look just in case? There are also…

Anyone ordered from these guys before: http://www.4cheapcds.com/Home/ They seem to be pretty cheap i.e. £6.99 icluding delivery. They say they were an amazon seller before. They are based in Singapore and so are probably a bit like cd-wow. Any thoughts Gorilla

The offer is on the website for home delivery, as well as in store. My favourite money saving item is…
