    I'm hoping tonight - 3 hours is up just before midnight. However I'm going carefully - got that dreaded 'you are up to your 10 claims' early doors this morning, even though I'd only claimed four!:eek: I've come offline since, and it seems to have allowed me to view a 70p womble result (much smaller than the amount it wouldn't let me print) since then, but still I'm going to try a receipt which has less potential value back first just in case. 28 days from today's shopping day is...still this calendar month! Alcohol shop was done today, it's got to be done with care.

    New email addy etc?

    Do you not use the app savvy? It seems to do away with that problem

    One of the 1% of people without a mobile phone!:(:o:mad: Any other ways of doing it? (Apart from in-store when they have their checkers out or local library etc.)

    You don't actually have to have a valid e-mail address eg.

    1@1.com is sufficient. Basically as long as you have *@*.com/co.uk/.es/.fr etc it will work. The e-mail address does NOT have to be a genuine one.

    try Wombler@Asd a.com :D

    Savvy, what you need to carry is a pair of tweezers. An invaluable wombling tool perfect for those receipts in stuck trollies ;)

    What a great tip! *puts tweezers in bag*

    I bashed my head on a metal bar last night pulling a receipt out from under a trolley. F me it hurt. And I felt like a right idiot.

    Times like those I question this habit :rotfl:
    Debt free 6th December 2014 :)

    This isn't a mickey taking question, it's dead serious- how do you manage without one?

    Well before the app we all used to use made up names/addresses/emails. Clear cookies, use incognito or private browsing windows. These work I have never had the dreaded 10 item /£100 limit message.....even during the big glitch where we were all filling our cupboards every single day.

    If I changed the email address and postcode etc., would it still not pick it up from the cookies? (Is there now a "10 claims reached" marker against this computer?) Could I get a voucher from a receipt that declined earlier today on a new address (I mean postal address as well here)? Or is that now marked against the previous claimant?

    I'm popping off now, but please still reply to me if you wish as I'll be back and will catch up in around an hour or so. TIA.
