    If I start collecting today will I end up with enough tokens? Forgot yest!

    Yes if you buy The Sun on enough days. You need 9 out of 16, so it would even be possible to buy only mid-week editions.

    Yes, I would have thought so, from what it says they need to have received the paperwork etc by the 20th, so start today and send it first class and it should get there on time. HTH

    Seems to have skipped out the letter I. Am I right in thinking if I print off the bonus code available that I only need to collect 8 other tokens?

    That's the way I read it. I'll be sending my 8 tokens plus 1 bonus token off on Saturday. I hope they accept it.

    I agree with S t e v e, I read it that you need 9 tokens, you can use the bonus token as one of these so earliest you can post is Saturday. Also remember 2nd class stamps get treated as first class when posted on a Saturday and should be delivered on the Monday.

    Yes, it was brought up when Royal Mail increased the prices of stamps last year, up until that point I didn't realise either but there was an article published about people complaining about price increases and the false economy of buying a first class stamp on a Saturday and Royal Mail responding. There was a thread that discussed it on here somewhere. Will have a root around and post the thread when I find it.

    On a quick search I found the Daily Mail article on it, there is a thread on here somewhere too
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2055141/Royal-Mails-great-stamp-rip-Saturday-class-post-goes-second.html


    'The changes were detailed in an eight-page document circulated to managers in mail centres and delivery offices, which said: 'Second-class traffic posted Friday and Saturday will be processed along with first-class posted Saturday, using Saturday first-class labels.'
