    How do you get the double points? I just entered a code off a choc digestive pack and only got the normal 5 points...?

    Hmm I just checked. All I can see is double pts on Hobnobs, 10 on choc hobnobs in March so maybe the OP got their wires cross, there are two weeks left in March after all.

    Yeah I think that's the case - on their Twitter it says double points for choc hobnobs too.

    Oh well - more biscuits to munch :T:T:T:T:T

    On their twitter it says 10pts for choc hobnobs. In fact they've just tweeted to confirm

    Of course they're normally 5pts so it's not a surprise....

    Milk chocolate hobnobs are £1 on rollback in Asda, so I'm off to buy 6 months' supply :j

    Don't forget you can get them in Sainsbury's/Tesco and price match if you're buying that many
  • You only get the double points for 2 weeks through a link you get in an email a few weeks after you join. But as others mentioned it's double points on Hobnobs all this month. I'm stocking up on points now to save for the draw next month, they're giving away 3 of the new iPads!! :j(saw it on Twitter)

    Yep thanks, I am sure Tesco Price Match works but I am a signatory on an Asda Colleague card so I get 10% off - 90p per pack :j

    Just a heads up - I put in about 4 or 5 codes at once yesterday off the packs I'd bought and I started getting a message saying "don't forget to keep your packs as proof of purchase!" or words to that effect. Never seen that before. They even sent me an email saying that. I knew my account had been "flagged" for sure when I tried to claim 2 tins afterwards with my points... they asked me to send at least 2 wrappers from a list of 4 codes to prove I had bought the biscuits! :mad:

    You can understand that they need fraud checks (to stop people from just writing down the codes in the supermarket) but it's an annoyance! So my tip is: KEEP THE WRAPPERS OF THE CODES YOU ENTER... especially if you are entering a load at once. Ideally it's best to onnly enter one or two packs a day, maybe that will not trigger the annoyance of having to send off packs as proof of purchase.
