    you could make a very small purchase in a shop like say one stop and you could use your card for 22p and then you get the £15 voucher but you will have to pay interest on the 22p.

    YEs I know it is a small amount but some shops dont have a min so it minimizes the interest charged,.
    I would make the spend in one of the big supermarkets as they don't appear to have a minimum spend policy when using plastic.
