    Susie, I think you are worried needlessly TBH :) as far as I am aware the sending of emails does not affect the payback progress, once they enable your account you can get your money out whether you have received an email or not, as long as you have the initiate button/s I don't think you will have a problem.
    If you log on to your account once a day; eventually you are going to 'strike' lucky.:)

    Me too, I think that those of us who didnt get the first one and then had to ****y around changing email adresseses and then sending blank ones, are probably now at the back of the queue whilst they cross reference all the *****y email addressess!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Susie, not sure if you're serious or joking - smileys contradict - but my Mum (on my initial advice) did this "mucking around" with email addresses but reverted like you AND got her 2nd email fine

  • Some stats (don't fall asleep). There are 200k out-of-pocket icesavers approx. Let's assume 1000 of them (reasonable?) on these forums? That's just 1/200 or 0.5%. If each day 10,000 2nd emails are sent , then on average .5% of "us", i.e 50, will get their golden ticket each day. But if these are truly random selections, then the nature of randomness is that some days it might be 90, and some days only 10 people ! (Just like the variance of winning £10 on the lotto three weeks in a row, then not winning anything for a year; happened to a colleague!). It could have been yesterday was an "unlucky" day.

    Ok so it doesn't stop the fact that I was one of the luckier ones (not so in lotto).:embarasse

    It's Here, It's bl**dy here. Just this minute arrived.

    This email invites you to log on to your Icesave account to be paid compensation in respect of your deposits with Icesave under the electronic payment process managed by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). We previously wrote to you about how the process would work on 4 November 2008.

    I hope the flood gates have opened! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
