I just got my £65 tosco gift card as a new sky customer. Hopefully the in-laws will get theirs today too

Shame i'm not planning on moving house again. I could get used to all these new customer bonuses

My heart skipped a beat as I picked up the post that has just dropped through the letter box. I could feel that one of the envelopes contained a gift card...Viking I thought?...no it was a £2 sada card for something I'd complained about recently:(

I 'complained' yesterday about getting charged £15 for the £10 egg offer got my fiver back only, was a bit cheesed off, but on my lunch break so dint bother to chase it up. When I got home I called CS about the previous days trouting where I was told they would let me use my APG 'this time, but not to try it again':eek:
We are not allowing those APG's with 922 on them, they are too easy to copy.
Anyway, got apology, but no offer of any Gift Card, oops, will have to wait for the next mega glitch and shaft it.

Sorry to ask, but whats a 922? I have only ever had one 30p APG from wombling, im too afraid to try any glitches yet.
Thanks in advance, Im lacking caffine this morning

I don't lnow how many you get for 25p in superdrug but in some circles a 25p binbag is actually a grabbit! :eek:

I've got a 50L Brabantia (or posh bin as David. would put it:rotfl:) and use the Asda black equivalent or Dunelm scented white liners...both 50L drawstring top which are considerably cheaper than the genuine Brabantia liners:eek: Having said that the brabantia liners are very thick and strong and don't deposit the contents all over the hall floor when taking a full bag out to the wheelie bin:mad:

Morning all :wave:

Just in the process of catching up - cheese, stroking etc :rotfl:

Finally got around to looking at the Mr T cc exchange book. £540 in cc for a macbook air and £215 in cc for ipaid 2 - tempting!

I've just emailed sss and premier as one of their stores have been very nasty to me over the app. Luckily I don't drive so it hasn't cost anything but I will not be spoken to the way have this week :mad:

So I'll bid you goodnight and thanks for the chat:)

Its an APG that is over £10, under £10 the barcode number would match the value, 030 would be for your 30p, 623 would be £6.23, at least that is the way I understand it.
922 on the end of the barcode is alerting them to a high APG but I was assured that this is a training issue, they should ask for a supervisor to check, but thats all.
Really I sould have split my shop to get two smaller APGs, it stops you being 'noted' by the staff, however I got it fair and square so should not have been treated like this. Had it not been my local store I would have asked to see the manager.

EDIT correction, its the last 4 numbers 9992, so she even got that wrong :-)

Morning paw sniffers,

Today I will be mainly getting my hair done and dodging raindrops:)

No need to go to all that trouble for our date TM. Does that mean I'll have to have a wash and a shave?

locarr

Meal deal not workiing at ALL!! Just tried with 4 sides, main and desert didn't go thru, so went to CS, they didn't realise at 1st that I had got the wrong items and just thought I had picked up something not in the deal....:cool:
so any way they refunded and put the correct meal thru 2 starters etc and it still didn't work!! so it look like T's have uopdated overnight and balls'd up the whole deal!!:eek:
