    There was no number at all printed on the back of my Dad's newspaper today - he isn't happy!

    My Mum couldn't find anything either.

    No card, no number on back page, nothing.
    Thinks she's going mad now.... :(


    There is a telephone number which you can both phone to explain this and they may ask you a couple of questions about what is in the newspaper or what is in the magazine on certain pages and they should then give you a code. I think the telephone number may be on the Mail Rewards page in the mag but I've not checked yet, that's where it used to be.

    There is also an online facility for "problems with unique number".

    Glancing at the back cover before buying will solve the issue of missing/illegible numbers at least. Just choose another copy if there is a problem. I always used to check for the card if the magazine wasn't wrapped so actually easier now.

    I actually think it's ok like this but I don't see them doing it long term, too many problems as people have said.

    Ta, I might just start again!
  • I seem to remember with the old club, that if missed any given saturday or sunday, then your account was totally reset and you lost everything.
    How does this work now - do you have to buy every single paper to avoid this penalty?
    Help!
    Thanks.

    I think now you can buy the papers as and when you want to and the points are banked for a year? I might be wrong but this is how I read it x

    I've had my eye on the kobo e-reader for a while, and I finally reached the required total of points this weekend. But when I logged on today, I noticed the description of the e-reader has changed, and now it's just called an "e-reader", with no mention of the brand.

    I also noticed there's a disclaimer saying that they reserve the right to substitute another item, of similar value and purpose to the one in the picture. But since there's no indication of the value or brand of the one in the picture, that seems pretty meaningless! At least the kobo was a recognisable brand with a price that can be checked, so you could make an informed decision as to whether it was a better bet than just cashing in the points for a voucher.

    I'm pretty sure it's been described as a kobo for the past few months, (anyone able to confirm this?) so it seems a bit cheeky if they've suddenly changed it to something else just at the point when people have finally acquired enough points to get one!

    You have 2 days after the date shown to enter the numbers.

    I'm annoyed that you now have to enter numbers every day to get the same reward. Every time the Mail changes the promotion they say it's better, but it isn't :(
