Our local Iceland do electronic swipe cards now instead of stamps.

Any idea about the Co-operative Group's saving stamp scheme?

Does anyone know if these supermarkets have paypoints (for gas and electricity), and if so whether these cards can be used to pay them off?

interesting about Asda. So, if I go in and load up 10 cards with £144 over the next few days, I'll get 10x£6??

Sounds like a plan.........;)

Be careful to check if the bonus comes off again though, I'm sure it used to if you hadn't spent all the money by a certain date.

This may be a stupid question but...

If load up 10 cards at Asda with £144 each on the 16th = £1440

I get 10 x £6 bonus on the 17th = £60

I know I HAVE to spend the £60 bonus in Asda but can I withdraw the £1440 back into my bank account... or do I HAVE to spend the £1440 in Asda too?

If so I don't think I'll bother!

hi yes you do have to spend the full amount in asda their is no way of getting it off the card once you have put it on

Does anyone know if you have to use a debit card to buy them or can you use a credit card? That way I could get cashback on the credit card as well as the bonus?

As long as you're giving them money you can pay anyway you like!!! A lot of people spread the cost through the year adding a couple of ££ every time they shop so it'd impossible to police which cards you can/can't pay with. The only thing you can't use to pay is coupons.

Does anyone know whether the Asda Bonus card can be used to buy petrol?
