There are more here:
http://www.cardmemberoffers.co.uk/bb/
which are on until Christmas. There are offers using the foursquare app which keep coming around (the harvey nics, and gap ones are on there).

I'm sure (and hope) there will be more

Ooh thanks for this. New suit coming up!

Oh, just applied for the card, looks like we'll miss out on all these cashback offers

at least we can whack christmas shopping on it.

I applied on the 10th (sat) and I reckon it arrived in the post on the following Thursday or Friday and you can then get your pin from the website - not sure why topcashback has tracked at £50 rather than the advertised £10 Apparently I can use it to pay hmrc the 1k tax credits overpayment form last year so a good chunk of the 2k needed to get 20k bonus points. Just need to remember to cancel before the year is up to avoid the £125 fee (waived in first year).

Gogt me trying to imagine how that the other sizes such as chicken mega drama:eek:



Chicken mega drama for them could be 'omg we are being wormed and we are being kept in AGAIN, or...omg that orange doggy thing just came in here and ate my husband, my sisters and my babies.....omg omg.


Chicken mini drama for me today was the 'little chickens' who are all full sized, their ladder fell down, so only two had managed to get out of the bed area this morning and Attila and Cheeky were going spare (Attila is blind and cheeky is lame, so the ladder is really needed for them)

I desperately need some new shirts but I object to paying 7 quid for a pocket and I like a pocket as I can put my phone in it and not miss calls on vibrate.

Pocket? No, no, no, no, no! Pockets are only seen on short sleeves shirts worn by civil servants with a collection of pens on display.

I could do with some new shirts too. You have to wear white to work these days and some of them are looking a bit, well, off white.

Don't suppose ours will arrive by Saturday when we applied tonight? :rotfl: I live in hope.

I switched my telephone to Primus a few months ago, £6+ rental only, what I can't get my head around is that it appears to be cheaper to ring Gen in OZ than it is to ring one of my neighbours (in the day anyway), likewise with mobiles, am I missing something here?

Click on Primus saver on the right, then click on call charges.

once I have spent 2k. ?

... £2k on stuff?? They'd be waiting a long time for me to get through that much! Job - rent/essential utilities = £300/month to live on, do stuff, buy stuff, go out, things, stuff ... etc. So can probably say £100 fags, £100 food, £20 pepsi ... leaving £80 for non-essentials like clothes, hair cuts, getting the car fixed, Xmas/pressies, shoes ... er ... stuff.

American Express

There's your first posh alert!!!
Don't they have a minimum income of "quite a bit" to even get accepted??
I remember about 30 years ago it was £12k.

I'll admit to having seen an Amex card and having touched one - because I had a Saturday job in a jewellers so we'd see one of those per week in there.

You can buy petrol, fags, food, Cola using the card. That's a start

I buy everything I can using cashback credit cards.
