Their service is hit and miss - I seem to get no response recently. They have sent out a reminder about 12 50% off deals but not appearing in my app. Has anyone received payments recently?
They still have contradictory information on the app and website whether it is £45 limit per month per household or per user.
Many thanks

Hope all is well.
TS glad your dd2 arrived home safely. I drove into rain today and was amazingly heavy downpour.
Called in to see dad and dropped presents off to save lugging into hotel room from car. Spent a nice couple of hours with him.
Got to my usual room and they had moved sofa out. Apparently it had broken and they were not replacing. Had not even left a chair in its place. Must admit had got travel cot and they had put extra duvet on bed. Quick chat to reception and moved to room opposite with sofa so quite happy. Lad on reception helped me move things over and while I was at dinner bought an extra cot blanket for room as well. Lots of nappy sacks supplied which I have never seen before.
Had alaugh at dinner as 2 christmas crackers on table. Lass said either pull them yourself or keep. Funnily enough one thing on my list tomorrow was dd had not got crackers yet (only peppa pig ones) so my aim now is to get another 2 or 3 how mse is that:rotfl:
Tucked up in bed coughing and spluttering and left flu tablets in car so just extra paracetomol tonight. Don't feel too bad it could be worse. Dd has had flights changed for tomorrow 4am start but home by 2.30 so we can get last bits she needs or she can give me a list.
While driving up I got to thinking about gift cards
If I buy 5x £20 cards using coupon I would then get
200 pts per card plus150 x2 as spending £100
If I have worked this right them
5x20 cards total £100 plus 1000bonus points plus 100 normal points plus 2x £50 2x150.
Meaning my giftcard spend id worth £100 with 1400 in cc points
Add on a tesco £50 gc for £50 which gives 150 plus 50
So for the £150 of gc I need I will get 1600 cc point.
If my maths are correct I am going to invest money for spends likely in next 3 months. £50 I need as mr t but the £100 I could buy any that have £20 or £10 cards. Ideally debenhams, next and boots ready to spend in sale. This will help my next statement as been quiet on the points front
Might be able to treat myself on points very soon.
My theory sounds ood and I need an amazon voucher anyway. The best deal just depends on voucher demomination. After all I will need next and mr shoes cards for sales shopping.
Think I only have 5 vouchers with me so this would be my limit. Be very handy for points to use towards goldsmiths or avios..
In other news my A had loads of their asda best chocolate like the taste the difference stuff at 50 a bar. I got honeycomb and 3 winter spice. Also got a tin of party rings as all sleep overs need midnight snacks:T
Got my wrapping paper from a thanks so much to the op. Now all safely warpped at dads.
Think I am going to collapse into a heap now. Can sleep until dd flight returns so planning a lay in as might not get much sleep tomorrow night
Scamps so please you have talked to your dd and straighened things out.
Maybe supprise them all with a non glitch present next year with clear price boundaries. I am sure she loves the things you give her just might not want the as her xmas present.
Good luch with your scan results.

With regard to the points on gift cards at Tesco, it is 100 extra points (with coupon) per £20 spend on cards (not 200) plus 150 extra per £50 spend. Still a good deal, but I think you have made a mistake, unless I am missing something?0 -
Parcel not been :mad: I been knocking on neighbours doors only one I know is in I wont ask we had argument over a parcel delivery a couple year ago so she can get lost
I am going to leave note on door and hope postie listens or he will be in trouble if I get back and card behind door. :rotfl::rotfl:
Off to Tesco I go got my knee and elbow pads and saucepan if customers wont shift
think you may need a crash helmet i was in tescos just now and a guy with walking stick decided to hit boxes of choclates off the top shelf all over me:eek: it hurt he got one and walked off
so i shouted merry Christmas at him and told him just coz hes old theres no excuse not to say sorry and pick the stuff up or even ask for help .0 -

It's the 150 points per £50 spend, which would be an extra 300 for £100 spend. 100 points coupon gives points for each £20, so 5 x £20 cards would be 500 points plus 300 plus 100 normal points.0
