    Doing a quick shop today and have a spending limit of between 3 and 20 quid, can i spend the full amount? Does it get reimbursed? Would be good for a bit of shopping!

    No, they only reimburse the minimum amount it's just they don't want you going over the £20

    I see a catalogue shop visit near me, does anyone know what it entails.

    At the moment it's to buy a specific item and then return it or it can be to enquire at the Jewellery counter and not make a purchase. Both very straight forward.
    Never mash cheese: it bends the fork.

    Yes, have had 3 bookies this week who didn't ask - so asked them afterwards, saying oh, I've got this can you put the points on? All 3 of them did (with a bit of difficulty!)

    I've now got enough points for something, but not quite sure what a 5% win bonus or something - thought I might actually get a free bet - no such luck!

    Apparently if you get so many points you get a £20 free bet. I know if you get 250 points you get an extra 5% added onto your winnings. I've got three bookies on tomorrow so will see how those go too.
