Please use this thread to discuss the new Xmas savings stamps article .

In that link it comes across that Asda's bonus is only paid out for one day, when infact it will run for a couple of weeks. I'm sure the others are the same too.

does anyone know how you pay into your clubcard to get these savings vouchers? I wasn;t aware that you could do this! do you go to customer services or can you do it at the till?

thanks

The Co-Op doesn't appear in the article, and their scheme is one of the better ones. Buy 48 pound stamps (at any time) and get £2 bonus if you redeem in the month of December - that's a 4.17% hike, if you can face licking 48 stamps!

Can anyone tell me if you have to spend it all at once? eg if I get £144 put on, then have the £6 added (by the way - do they do that automatically, or what?) Do I have to do a £150 shop, or can it be broken down into a few smaller ones?

Thanks in advance

Hi there

Just to clear up a couple of the queries.

According to Asda the computer looks at how much you have in your account on the 21st of November and adds the bonus accordingly. From what Asda have told us if you add more after this date you won’t get the bonus.

It’s really easy to pay the money onto your Clubcard you can just do it at the till.

Also, the Co-op press office said that it’s no longer running a scheme. If anyone has seen anything in store that says otherwise, do let us know!

Hope this helps.

The £144 on to the Tesco clubcard to get £6 bonus vouchers had to be done by 8pm last Friday (21st October) http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=92796

The Co-Op press office ought to talk to the Co-Op Redruth. They have racks full of the cards on display today.

a word of warning with Morrison stamps is that they will remove all saver cards normally by the end of this month and replace them with the standard no bonus cards. So you need to pick up some cards now! This happens every year as soon as i hear a date I'll post more

Can anyone answer this. I'd also like to know how you spend the money afterwards? Is it just like a bank account that only has £144 (or £160) in?

Also, is there a date that you have to use them buy?

IE can I get 5 cards and use them throughout jan feb and March?

Thanks

Simon
