    Hi Jax

    I do really well out of my M & S credit card. You get points for everything you spend on it and then get the appropriate vouchers once a quarter to spend in M & S.
    However they also send out lots of other vouchers as well - eg 20% off clothing or footwear or home.
    The ones I particularly like are the 200 points for spending online - with NO minimum spend. So recently I ordered a DVD for £1.50 but got £2 back in points. They do those quite often.
    I also top up my points by, for example, opening an ISA, getting £10 worth of points, then closing it again. Think I've done that three times now!
    They also do special member events when you can go and have a manicure, a glass of bubbly and some snacks.

    BL i must get a few tips from you.I have had my card for years now and have had very little out of it.Mind you I'm not using cards much at the moment

    Just remembered you can also buy your foreign currency on it and it counts just like any other purchase ie no cash withdrawal fees - useful as you don't have to pay for your holiday expenditure up front and can return any unused notes before you actually have to pay for them. I find the exchange rates are pretty competitive too.

    Yes CM - thats what I do, I pour bleach on the grout lines & leave it for the next day. And it did cleared up. But the bleach smell very strong! didnt like using bleach so I tried other stuff.

    It is just that FFF was saying how good her CIF club was & I paid a lot of dosh to get into her club & found out that is was just like any other normal advertising campain :D:D:D:D:D:D:p:beer:

    Can more peeps than 1 at the same address have an account?

    Diff phone No
    Diff email
    diff name

    Anything else I should know?

    Thanks

    EDIT: DRWW PM me with answers
