MINT Credit card cheques
Does the MINT credit card still do cheques? I have been told by their customer services that they don't, which defeats the point of having the card IMO. I took out the card specifically for my first fast stooze, but now it seems that they won't let me do it! Anyone have any idea what'g going on???

Is Stoozing still the biz?
Hi everyone Thinking of getting into this stoozing game (thx for all the comments by the way), but before jumping on the wagon I'm curious what everyone's return on time investment is nowadays (approx) to see if its still worth it. Especially now that the credit card co.s seem to be cracking down via BT fees etc. Thanks MM

Stoozing or cashback credit cards
Which is a more profitable method? I currently use Amex platinum ( up to 2% cashback) and egg money ( 1% cashback). Should I change my method as a way of getting more cash? How much could I get from stoozing? Am complete novice to this idea. PS. if I went for it, should I go down the BT route or 0% on purchases route?

£10 for free from B & Q and its really free
A loophole left open with the B & Q store card allows anyone who signs up for the card to get a £10 free voucher to spend in store. The good bit is there is no minimum spend, i.e. buy a tape measure about 89p, the bill comes minimum payment is £4, you then have £13.11 to spend in store for just 89p outlay! The voucher…
