Picked up my 'free' Quidco Phileas Fogg crisps and £2 is already showing in my account.
Bought 10 packs of the Jungle Dogs Hot Dogs with Real Food coupons.
Finally, threw in two of the travel-sized Sanex shower gels and used the coupon below to get both for £1.
Used a £10 PP expiring today, paid £2 cash which I've already got back through Quidco.
50p off any Sanex product

Thank you!
Where are these jungle dogs located in our store? Im hoping to get out later for some shopping0 -
This was a valentines promo.
£40 spend on cards for £30
£20 spend on cards for £15
Other folks were buying Next cards at reduced price and paying off their Next credit account with them (i.e. all the things they bought in sale after xmas)
I was never trouted. There were no grounds for it really
Do you think a similar thing could be done with Argos' £5 or £10 GC on a £50/100 spend?I Hate Jobsworths!!!0 -

did you mean to say "app" here? :think:
This is how the web version works
Yes I did, after locking out by pressing get voucher umpteen times just to see how I might go about printing it off. The web is the same, never had one change though, will keep an eye out for that as I also write the amount on receipt and usually print when needed.0 -
After a few small test purchases I did this
- I bought £200 mr Shoes giftcards in Argus for £160
- using those £200 cards I bought 4x£50 prepaid Visas in Mr Shoes, (at an additional expense of £16, IIRC, to activate)
- then using those £200 visa cards and £10 cash I bought £280 Mr Shoes giftcards in Argus
- using those £280 giftcards (plus £20 cash) I bought 6x£50=£300 prepaid Visas in Mr Shoes, (which cost £24 to activate)
- then using those £300 visa cards I bought £400 Mr Shoes giftcards in Argus
- using those £400 giftcards to buy 8x£50=£400 prepaid Visas in Mr Shoes, (which cost £32 to activate)
So for £160 initial outlay, £30 cash spent along the way and £72 activation fees (cost of £262) I had £400 fully activated visas to spend wherever/whenever I wanted.
Thats not even considering the smaller amounts I started off with before I realised it would take forever to get anywhere with it
It was a pretty easy way to make money and effectively got us a Dyson for free :money:.
The visa activation fees were offset by the fact that most of the prepaid visas I ended up with were used to buy B&Q giftcards in Mr T for the bonus 150 points per £50 :rotfl:
Ahhhhh you were one of those
I can't see Argus making a stuff up like that again :rotfl:
I only grabbed £80 of Mr Shoes cards because I was completely skint but they paid for DS2s baby milk and nappies for a fair while (before I learnt how to shop the elite way) :T
