    Right..... So Diesels top of my head £1.40 litre... So I could buy £1400 vouchers and pay £0 for the fuel... Then do a paypal transaction to my GF via the 3v card, Using the 3.4% IRC Paypal fees and the 100 Litres would of cost £48ish? - Cashback if bought on a CB card?


    Or thinking again....scrap the Paypal... Buy £1400 worth of 3v on a Credit card py £0 for fuel and pay the £1400 back with the 3v... And collect the cashback?

    Paypal will probably work, but they're well known for their fussy security. Using 56 different cards in a short space of time might spook them. You need to judge the risks yourself.

    You can't pay off credit cards, or other financial services transactions, with the 3v cards. Such transactions are blocked by 3v.

    I think it is 3.4% + 20p for each transactions so more like £58 if paypal let you.

  • If every online retailer that takes Visa Credit Cards accepts these 3V Cards too, then you can make big savings on fuel with the Morrisons Fuel Saver scheme without combining cashback credit cards.

    As you are not limited to just the retailers who already have gift cards for sale in Morrisons as part of the Fuel Saver scheme.

    You need this Credit card, but woops it isnt available. Wasted 2 minutes of my life watching some self glorified wannabe talking a load of ****

    Ebay : fuel petrol vouchers , MUCH simpler & they also inform whats on offer on which supermarkets via the mad rush to sell current schemes.

    Voucher search will give you all sorts of goodies too.

    Heyyyyyyyyyyy I didnt need a silly video to tell you that

    Great idea! Where can I get it fitted for free?


    Can these be used for gambling transactions?
  • There is another Visa credit card style-gift card in Morrisons for £25 which also includes some sort of extra fee of £2.95 or something like that. What is the difference between this and the 3V one apart from the extra fee?

    Just went into Morrissons Camden and they didn't have any 3V vouchers either.
