Same here - I bought one bottle of wine and 3 choc bars (it happens to be my favourite chocolate!!) and it came in under the reimbursement amount.

Thanks both - my husband will enjoy the results, as I'm doing Slimming World I dont drink wine or eat choc anymore!!!

I usually just buy the 14 now, but loads of times I've bought more as we use a lot of stamps, and I've always been paid the £5.00 OK - I just make up the difference.

Sorry, perhaps I didn't make myself clear - I'm sure you' re right and there is no problem with spending more than the allowance. Its just for some odd reason they appear to inssit on buying at least 14 stamps! I don't know why - they never used to stipulate this and I used to get a few £1 stamps especially near Christmas for parcels!

You just have to learn to be hard with them. It has been known for a shopper to be sacked because they repeatedly ignore calls from Gap - mad I know.

I usually tell them that their burger jobs are a farce (the receipt based cabaret) and they wouldn't be able to afford me. I usually tell them I'll cost £25 fee for me to do the job - they've never accepted this mind

I don't mind saying this cus I don't work for them now but my personal record was getting £20 out of them to do a greasy burger

Doing 2 wine shops tonight and think I'm going to be out of pocket.

The wine I have to buy is £5.48 a bottle. Plus the cost of a bottle of fizzy pop or a bar of choc and that takes me well over the reimbursement.

The wine is on offer, 3 for £10, which is a good deal but they don't reimburse for that do they!

Vicki, I've PM-ed you asking you to tell me what you bought to be able to use the voucher, thanks!

I did the 3 for £10 and it seems that I have been approved as it is in my future payments section.
