    They dont send out individual vouchers they send out a gift card loaded up with the amount you require.


    Yes!! Someone who actually uses the card. I have some questions for you:

    1. Can only the intended user use the gift card that is sent by post? Is it pin code protected in case it got lost in the post?
    1a. Are the gift cards sent out via standard post?
    1b. Do all stores issue gift cards as opposed to shopping vouchers?
    2. What shops can you use your babee card in and qualify for cash back?
    3. What exactly is in the mysterious online discount club that you can't seem to view until you've paid your money and signed up to the card? Does it just contain affiliate links?
    4. What number can I ring to speak to babee card directly?

    TIA!

    I suppose janninew could always go for your recommendation, the babee card, and instead have her thousands of £s worth of discounted shopping vouchers delivered by regular post, insured up to £42,cart them off to the shop in her purse/handbag and use them in the shop. Nothing risky in doing this. Wait a minute..

    Usual idiotic 'advice' from someone who will lie through their teeth in order to do UW down.

    1) I don't recommend any card.

    Though it's holders do get better discounts than holders of the uw card, the discounts are in the hands of its users, not used to make expensive energy look cheaper for uw gullibles spun a yarn by their friend/relative working for the uw, and it's fees are cheaper than the uw card.

    2) There is no charge for postage.

    3) I have never given any advice to use this card.

    4) I don't lie here.

    Your using personal abuse is designed to cause trouble.

    The uw bosses will be concerned to see how their spokespeople who come here represent their company.

    Failing this, I may just keep my UW landline and calls and go with Plusnet for my internet, I've heard good things about them and they are very reasonably priced.

    Not everybody can get the very reasonably priced Plusnet Value offer so your need to check if its available in your area.

    3 Months free rental available if you sign up via simplify digital by the 6th of Jan.

    You may have to return your landline to BT before being able to move ISP. Talk Talk don't usually let people use anyone elses internet service on their landlines.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Unlike yourself, I have never worked in any capacity for UW.


    Usual drivel from the worst kind of coward - an online one!

    You make no recommendations due to being unsure of your own advice, basically. Frightened to have YOUR recommendations held up to public scrutiny.Pathetic.

    2. Because the vouchers are sent by standard post? Please tell me how you can call the UW card 'risky' but seem entirely happy with this.

    3. You have frequently suggested there is an alternative to the UW card but as per usual scurried off when asked for it. My extensive research has made me come to the conclusion that the babee card is the only possible alternative hence I'm stating that is the card you use/recommend. Seems like you need no proof on this board to suggest things about me so right back at you, failed distributor.

    4. Hmmmmm...:p

    Thanks for that.
    I checked earlier and its available in my area, certainly seems a very good price. I've only heard good things about them, which can only be a good thing!

    If you only have bb from plus.net you will get a £25 set up charge.

    But there is £28 (or more) currently on offer from the cashback sites for taking bb only (£38 for taking bb + phone package)



    In the spirit of being complete with your recommendations, haven't you omitted a rather important caveat here with regard to anyone signing up to plus.net?

    I anticipated this and have given them a call earlier today, I was told I won't have to revert back to a BT line.
