    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!

    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?
