Tiger, have you stopped getting e-mail notifications from MSL?
I always got one when I submitted a receipt after a shop but the last 2 I've had nothing and my cashback pending amount hasn't gone up (that being said the amount seems to be stuck anyway).
I think I broke it when buying too many lots of carling zest :rotfl:

But you can buy 2 of the same items if they are in different shops cant you?? (or at least I hope you can as I want more carling, although I have just realised it is only 2% so not sure if I am going to bother now.

Yep, I've just had an email from Terri :rotfl:
Each item is restricted to ONE SHOP AT A TIME - I.e. you can buy zest in S, submit receipt, buy again in T, submit receipt etc

Am off out, debating whether to do S for zest or A for galaxy......:p

Hello.

Some of you may remember me from Tesco's DTD days - I was the one that collated all comparing items from each post and put them up as a big daily list for people to pick through. And one of the few that argued against the use of the spreadsheet which, I still believe, was the reason for its demise. I'm now pleased to see all the tips and hints are fairly secretive but still open to those willing to do a bit of legwork.

I left the forums after I attempted to start something like the Elite up on the day DTD ended but it was moved to the Food Shopping board and died a slow and painful death. I also remember arguing that although our 'cottage industry' had died that day, it was quite possible to manipulate the system still, particularly with the use of MOCs. After arguing for a day or two, I left the forums and concentrated on going it alone!

A few months later, I returned to find the 'Elite 11+' up and running and have been lurking ever since. Where have the last two years gone?!

I have been in contact with old members that frequented our giant thread in those days via PM occasionally (:hello: Nikkilala) and some newer people I didn't recognise at the time or who live locally (:hello: fairclaire!).

I think you're all fantastic. I have shared highs and lows over the past two years with you - logie's illness and fightback, 3Dogs's Alan passing, a multitude of babies entering the world, the loss of HappyChappy and the gaining of SavvyBuyer and, of course, your stories of stashes and shopping trips that would make even Martin Lewis red-faced.

I'm looking forward to entering the fold once more and contributing as much as possible. These days, I tend to coupon more than I did pre-DTD days and I take the !!!! out of as many MOCs as I can prior to their expiry date.

With this in mind, I picked up two Palmolive showers gels this morning from Tesco for 74p each with this coupon here (lets you print two): http://www.findyoursanctuary.co.uk/win.php

I hope you'll welcome me aboard and I hope to find many bargains to help you all out, as you've all helped me these past two years.

Here's a brilliant glitchy new thread!

Hi Adam :wave:

I remember you making your re-appearance last year

Now you are confusing me. lol
So can I do a zest shop today in Sainsburgs, then another zest shop tomorrow in Sainsburgs?? Or do I have to change the shop (as in go to adsa) the second time?? :beer:

One day I bought the carling, submitted the receipt. Went back later and bought more and that's where I now have a problem :mad:

That was Thursday and one I submitted Sunday both don't seem to have generated an acknowledgement e-mail

Am on live chat now, chatting to 'Terri' again (is she the only one that works there!)

Edit: Here ya go DM

Terri: it's ok, it is restricted to one per shop. So as you have done 3 shops it should be ok!

She said the same to me, I never got paid for the second shop.:(

I wonder if Terri ever gets a day off :rotfl:
I hit As twice in the same day on Thursday and that's fine too
I guess it's restricted to one redemption per visit
