Went to Tosco earlier looking for some bargains and to use some cond spends. Managed to find a few of the reduced toiletries and got a good woopsie haul ..........................................

but had an absolute nightmare with one of those pre loaded visa gift card things :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

SA couldn't get it to work, supervisor came and same for her, was taken to cs as long queue with customers doing daggers:(:(:(

was at cs for over an hour while evry (well seemed like it:cool:) member of staff tried with it, rang customer services and I checked online on my mobile that it was indeed loaded:o:o:o

Turns out that tills reject the cards if used in part payment towards a higher amount. :mad::mad::mad:

It was only when I suggested me paying some cash to reduce total bill to amount of gift card that it actually worked:j:T:j

Anybody else had problems with the cards?

Little bit of a lurker as I just don't have enough hours in the day to keep up with this thread - but saw this and yes - TS, same issue. My SIL gave a few of these as gift cards obviously thinking they looked a little more thoughtful than cash and I had exactly the same issue with them. Seems totally ridiculous and a bit of a con as they are advertised like pre-loaded credit cards.

I had a similar card from a shopping centre and I had to tell the SA exactly what was on the gift card for her to input against a higher amount so I guess applying the same principal to these you could use them against a higher amount but would take a SA that knows what they are doing to do so.

Only managed Eiffel Tower once, about 25 years ago. Took the kids out to Paris once about 15 years ago and was looking forward to going up again, was a lovely sunny day, but DS threw a wobbly on the second stage and would go no higher, I was stuck with him and his panic made me feel funny so could not go up after and leave OH with him

Went to Frankfurt at the weekend and there was the festival on, there was one guy at the top of a long pole, at least 100 ft, and he was doing handstands and all sorts, pole was waving around all over the place :eek: Now I definitely could NOT do that :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

It's strange. I never used to have a fear of heights. Now I'm very unsteady on a step ladder :eek:

Yes but I have been drinking, I got a whoopsied ready meal earlier and was so much hotter than I thought it would be have been washing it down with an ice cold lager Mr TS left in the fridge. Think I might be in trouble later when he gets in.
