By the way Carmine, Argos are included with the card so why not buy your TV from there?

Bloody hell. :eek:

I won't be making any major purchases from those 30 or so stores until I decide to join, Choc.

LOL what you waiting for,you know ya want it!!!!

LOL. Would hate to be held responsible for Quentin having a 'funny turn' Although he claims to have me on ignore so no worries. Strokes chin. Seriously, if the cashback switching gets impossible, UW will be my first port of call.

PPS I would imagine they are waiting for npower to announce their cuts before proceeding with their own? No real idea how the tie-up with npower works but I was under the impression npower do all UW's energy buying for them?

According to this N Power have a 29% option on their shares.

Yes, I've read about that, they would appear to have been very naive when first entering the energy market but were 'rescued' by some smart thinking from Wigoder. I'm suspecting whoever was brave enough to buy shares in TP at that time will be reaping the rewards now (the shares dipped below a quid each, they are now approaching £3.40!). This share has been bucking the market trend in spectacular fashion for quite a while now.

Is it true they are reducing energy prices soon,and including 0845/0870 calls in inclusive minutes, his rep mentioned this to him yesterday.

After midnight on March 31st there will be lower prices that are yet to be announced. 0845 and 0870 numbers will be included in call packages from April first, but, line rental will be going up to £9.90.

H.Samuel, Ernest Jones and Leslie Davis have been added to the list of stores accepting the pre payment card.

A friend of mind who has a card told me that he gets 5% off everything he buy,s (clothes,toys,electrical etc) in Sainsburys not just food and petrol.

Hi OldGreyFox

Your friend is right, you do get 5% off everything you buy in store. I have bought a couple of the cheap TV's recently and received the 5% on my bill. We are big Sainsburys customers, so the new card was a great addition to the package.

Great news all round (apart from the 91p a month line rental rise, of course)! Sainsburys' own brand TVs (Red?) seemed incredibly well-priced when I saw them in-store the other day. I think they had a 37" LCD for £299 and the 32" version was £249 (£15 & £12.50 off your UW bill respectively )! :eek: Have to say, this deal is becoming very attractive.

I bought the UMC 19" LCD HD ready with Freeview, DVD and I-Pod dock for £149.99 (£150 off) and also a reduction for the VAT change and the 5% card discount - no brainer!!
