Never got near the BS glitch. Very annoyed at myself lol. Whenever I checked either the card wasn't in stock, or it wasn't taking all the 'glitched' discounts off.

Right now can't get it below £20.

Oh well.

i had a play there 10 mins ago and got £55 down to £12.99 delivered

Tesco cheaper but thought it might help someone else?

Talking of cc deals, there is one mentioned on PTS (thanks to 20400keith) that I didn't take much notice of initially, but may be useful to a few on here. If you buy £50 of branded giftcards instore, then you get an additional 150 cc points. You can buy different ones to make up the £50, ie 1 x £25 next and 1 x £25 B & Q.

What some are doing is buying the cards instore at T to get the clubcard points, and then using eg a Next gc to settle an existing online bill that would need to have been paid anyway. Or knowing that you are going to spend a chunk of money at say Homebase or B & Q, you buy giftcards from T for the points and then shop with these. Was reminded because I think someone here mentioned doing a biggish shop at B & Q?

Or if buying gcs for presents, make sure you get them from T?

So if you are a points collector and were thinking of making a cash purchase at any of the "branded" stores, may be worth a visit to T first.

There is also a generic visa giftcard mentioned online that can be used anywhere that takes visa debit cards in the UK - if they sell these instore then that would be excellent.

Just a quick question I wonder if you could buy a load of the Visa ones and use them to pay stuff like bills.

Sorry, no idea. Never used a visa giftcard before, but would definitely like to know a bit more about this one. Will try and find out a bit more ......

edit - Not massively helpful, but a bit of info here. Will probably follow up on this one :beer:

Not worth it IMHO - See answer below regarding fee's :beer:

Yes, the £25 card has a card issue fee of £2.95, so you pay £27.95. The £50 card has a card issue fee of £3.95, so you pay £53.95.
