    I've received a Body Shop offer. That's all.
    Selected because I'm female?

    Not offered other things because my current account balances average about £1 and my spending on my credit card are paid off in full and don't go much over £300?

    I don't intend using the Body Shop offer - nothing I need. Will that mean I don't receive any more offers, or will they try further enticements with other retailers. I'd definitely spend at Morrisons and probably Argos, and might even be tempted by New Look.

    I got body shop offer too, and I'm definitely not female :o

    Also got Hertz and Marriott.. I reckon it's because I used my credit card abroad recently. Unlikely to use any of them tbh!

    I had 4 - play.com which has now expired. Morrisons @ 20%, presumably because I've not shopped there using a card for about 3 years, Argos @ 15% & I haven't shopped there using a card for about 2 years & Body Shop about 18 months ago (they all expire tomorrow). So yes obviously designed to get you to shop somewhere new or go back to somewhere you once used. Which makes good business sense. They are never going to give us any extra discount to shop somewhere you normally shop. So I guess we need to start shopping tactically. If you know you want something next year then stop using a card to buy for a few months! This could be fun!

    the main gripe with this system is you can't use it more than once. WHY NOT !!!

    I've had an account with them for about a year and a half now. This was completely unexpected and a bonus should I spend with the seclected retailers.

    I cannot believe how self centered and spoilt some people are to moan about something you didn't expect for free!!

    It is a something for nothing scheme.

    Register for all of them. If your normal shopping patterns take you there, then that's great!

    My Morrisons 20% voucher has a limit of £100.
    Does any one know whether spending over £100 just means the cashback is limited to £20, or whether the shop actually has to come in under £100 else it's null and void?
  • I presume it's ok to activate all the offers in case you end up spending in those stores when you're out and about, even though you also might not spend there?

    I spent over £100 and got the full £20 cashback :beer:
  • If you still have the message saying offer pending, lcik on to change details in the top right hand corner then select marketing preferences. This needs ot be changed to yes otherwise the offers wont come through. My mum had the same issue with her account phoned up and was told this was why. it should update within 7-10 days and offers should then start to feed through. hth
