Insert the nozzle into your vehicle then put the nozzle into a 2nd vehicle is more than one vehicle.
Yep "forgotmyname" I aint sure LeeUk has quite got the concept of one vehicle (unless I am wrong as I agree with you) but at the end of the day I have been shopping as I would normally in the last few weeks and so far using the shopping vouchers purchase from Morrisons I am up to 60p off a litre however I have a couple of jerry cans I am going to fill and as it will be one continuous sale I can't see any objection unless they guy on the till tries to invoke a breach of rule 9 and won't rejects the vouchers for aforesaid breach0 -
whoopee I did it, I got 100 litres of Diesel for 75.9p per litre using a combination of a 2p, a 8p, a 16p and a 33p voucher (it was 134.9p per litre for those that dont wanna do the maths). The lass on the counter didn't care if it was for one car or not so long as it was one continuous sale and no more than 100 litres, (as it happens the pump cuts out at 100 litres anyway) and my way of doing this was to fill the maximum I could get in my Passat ie:62 litres then the other 38 litres in two steel 20 litre Jerry Cans. They are stored safely and responsibly in an appropriate area until I need them (which will be the middle of next week then my tank is down by about 1/3)
Good luck to Y'all on this one its lucrative and can be done if you think about it0 -
Find out the store's rules about filling cans, which do vary a little from one chain to another, and also the law on storing fuel near your home, which is more restrictive for petrol than diesel.

Nothing stopping me filling two cars up at the same pump in the same transaction or filling car up and a few 5 gallon jerry cans in the boot.

Stop bumping this thread, need my 2 nearest stores to restock their vouchers, spent over £2k on them.
Luckily no one else in my town has cottoned on to this one yet.
The bloke has missed a trick or two where you can end up with being paid to fill up.0 -

It's a bit long-winded to type the "how-to" so I've recorded a video explaining how to do it, and put it on YouTube at
Hope it helps someone, and hopefully it won't get stopped any time soon
Just watched the video, and whilst if I'm honest I couldn't be bothered to do it myself, this is the absolute epitome of what this site is about!
Fantastic, well worked out, and great video!0 -

I was just looking at the 3Vcards and they say:
Most gift cards restrict people to spending them in a specific shop IE: Currys, argos etc. 3V Visa Gift Cards allow the recipient to buy/pay for what they want anywhere online that accepts Visa.
3V Gift Cards have an Activation Code and PIN on the back. Once you enter the code and PIN on their site and follow the instructions, you will be able to view your Visa Number and security details (expiry date and CVV2 Number).
The security details for your Visa Number will also be sent to your email address.
Visa Numbers from 3V Gift Cards have a life of 12-13 months, and funds can be transferred to other 3V Visa Numbers or redeemed to your bank account.
So I wondered that, technically speaking as most councils take payments by visa on their websites for council tax its feasible that one could pay ones monthly council tax bill by cash payment arrangement dispensing with the budget by direct debit (one gets no discount for paying by direct debit so the only incentive is the budgeting bit) and once a month use a 3V card from Morrisons to the tune of my monthly council tax payment, then the possibilities like car tax come into play (again done online) then water rates, then as it says you could just load up a few hundred get the money off fuel vouchers then redeem back to your bank account? Does anyone else think this is feasible. Lets face it if you shell out £1000 per month on bills mostly by budget direct debit (and most of us do) then it sounds feasible to just pay online with a 3V card or just load one up and transfer it back to your bank account?0 -

You seem to have a double-posting problem.
Is the transfer to bank account thing new? If you can do that without penalty, then there's no need to find places to spend your card - you can just get all your credit refunded back.
edit: It seems to cost £3.50 to redeem a Visa number account to a bank account - so that's not going to work.
edit2: You cannot pay for Council Tax with the 3V Visa numbers.0
