    That is great about your Amex tracking free money :D

    Thanks for the recommendation for Consumer Pulse, I'm already at my first payout. :j:j

    Do you happen to know if the Debenhams vouchers can be used online or just instore? Can't decide what to redeem for. I am tempted by B&Q too but I don't think we'll be needing anything in the near future.

    How often can you log your purchases for points? I planned to enter some today but it didn't specify how many points I would receive as it did when I entered purchases on Monday so I didn't end up entering them.

    Sorry for all the questions! Don't work too hard :)

    I have never ordered Debenhams vouchers, so I am sorry I do not know. You can log in every time you make a purchase. But points will be awarded only for 20 per month.In addition, every week you get points. So you have to enter at least 1 item a week to get those points added. If you have reached 20 items, hold on, you can enter the rest come Saturday. HTH.

  • Today was a NSD. Actually it should be -2p spending as I found a 2p coin on the pavement. I am getting Kn0rr Gravy pots to try from Bzz. My pay should be in my bank a/c by tomorrow. This is going to be my penultimate paycheck from my current employer. I'm changing jobs in the New Year :-)

    That did help explain it about the item limit thanks US :D I went for Argos this time - play it safe. Love Debenhams online but NEVER find anything in store so I know that'd be a waste for me if I could only spend them in store.

    Fab news about the job and the -2p day :D

    I wish I'd signed up for Bzz a long time ago! All sounds brill!

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • Today was shopping day. Bought candy canes at Mr.Simms (I'll get a fiver from amex). At B00ts, it was jackpot for me. I used the double points voucher and it doubled the 1200 Christmas points and not the actual sale value. So, £52 worth of stuff (paid with L2S vouchers), 2608 points back on card. Yippee!

    More importantly, all the money from 4square-amex spending last weekend and Monday has been refunded to the card accounts.
