Interested to hear if anyone else has had this issue. Went to spend points on Sainsburys Online - could not redeem points - the error message was 'technical difficulties' so went into store did shop and again could not redeem points (which could have been very embarrassing if I did not have any other means of paying for…

Epson cashback promotions
I am desperate to know if anyone else is having issues getting their cashback from Epson, please. I bought a new printer in November from Argos, registered it, sent them my online receipt and put in my claim for my £20 cashback. They then informed me that I needed to resend my receipt, which I did. It is still showing on…

Recurring Payments - Buyer Beware !
We all know that by setting up a Direct Debit or Standing Order we are committing to recurring payments. However, I was not aware that by giving Debit or Credit card details a company or organisation can claim recurring payments. I recently made a membership payment to Reform. I realised the payment had gone through twice.…

Trend of excessive cardboard packaging.
I do struggle with breaking down boxes, especially industrial strength one's with massive thickness, but will do it in the name of recycling, however wastage I feel is getting worse. Some recent examples. Ordered two light weight storage box seat things from amazon, on checkout I had the option to have no external…

Radflek Radiator Cover Scam!
I logged in and ordered at exactly 13:01. It told me I had missed out but could still get a discount of 20%. As if 1000 people have logged in before me within 60 seconds and ordered. Looking at past offers, this is a regular occurrence. Radflek radiator reflectors — MoneySavingExpert Forum Why does this website advertise…

Cineworld tickets
I booked 4 x tickets to see a film at Cineworld. When we arrived for the 12.30 showing on Saturday, it transpired that I had booked tickets for the previous day (menopausal brain :# ). The guy on the tickets said that he couldn't let us in to that days showing (same time 12.30) and that we could speak to any member of…

Neff built-in oven stress
When having a new kitchen fitted in late 2018, the kitchen company advised that they would only provide premium branded Neff appliances. We were content to proceed on that basis and we have 5 Neff built‐in appliances. The fan within the main oven failed less than 2 months later, whilst cooking the turkey on Christmas Day!…

PayPal won't cancel unauthorised 'donation'
I went to but a whisk from ebay, went through payment by PayPal, got my receipt. Then I got another receipt saying "thanks for your donation". I did not make any donation.

Royal Mail - rant....
I'm really fed up with Royal Mail. I sent two separate letters, to different parts of the country, 1st class signed for on Monday morning. Their website says:- "Aim to deliver next working day, including Saturdays" No signs of any progress for either of them to date, four days later. Tracking doesn't give any interim…

Kybotech - The moaners are right this time
Having read all the negative reviews about Kybotech, I can say first hand that they are all true. I would honestly AVOID this company. I bought a log cabin in August, took 5 weeks to receive it. Parts missing. Tried for 6 weeks to get them delivered with no luck. They just lie to you in the hope you will give up.…

One4All: Foreign currency cards
Some advice if you ever get a card sent to you in foreign currency: * Contact One4All and ask them to send the value to your UK bank account. * Chase UK said they couldn't accept foreign currency deposits! * The card's probably a gift and purchased by the sender recently, so ask for the transaction fee to be waived. * Make…

Left Without a Flight and Pushed Into Debt (theflightsfare.co.uk)
I booked a Finnair flight with “The Flights Fare” (theflightsfare.co.uk) and had a terrible experience. After paying, it took 10 days before they finally issued my ticket—only after I began a PayPal dispute. Eventually, I discovered they had requested and received a refund from Finnair without my knowledge, leaving me with…
