    I trust you are joking.

    The Iceland supermarket chain is in no way related to the country Iceland nor to its banks.

    No joke.

    Iceland (the supermarket) was bought by Baghur (an Icelandic investment company) in about 2005 which went pop in 2009, leaving Iceland (the supermarket) in the hands of Baghur's creditors, i.e. the Icelandic banks, or the liquidators thereof. There was an MBO type deal last year, so Iceland is no longer owned by Iceland. But it was.

    I might have this wrong but I think this means that you only get the £1 once for each saving £25 break.

    For instance if you hit £50 you get £2. You then spend a fiver which puts you down to £47. You put another £3 on so you hit £50 again. At that point you don't get another £1 (as you've already hit that bonus point). You'll get the the next £1 bonus when you hit £75.

    That seems fair enough (although obviously could be clearer)

    Ermmmm, does sound possible,one way to find out...................................;)

    and change my ID too,bit like James Bond and his car revolving number plates:rotfl:

    Have they changed the rules of the scheme as it used to be like a gift-card you put money on and they give you a little bit extra as a bonus without needing to register it or anything.
