I'm after a bit of advice please. I purchased 2 3v cards with my HH from T's but I didn't really look into it at the time. I know quite a few of you have bought them lately with hh's. I wasn't aware there were fees but reading into it now there seem to be quite a few. I was wondering what you all use them for and how you have found spending them as I am thinking it will be quite difficult to spend exactly £25 on them as you can't combine them without incurring fees. I'm sure I am missing something and hoping you lovelies could enlighten me:beer::j

A no brainer if you shop in T and A regularly is £25 3v used to buy £25 A giftcards from www.highstreetvouchers.co.uk. 2 cards from T for £45 using your HH, 150 cc points, £50 to spend in A.

If you were using for other online shopping, you could use up any balance buying a gift voucher for the exact amount from
Amazon.

Is anybody here in receipt of Child Tax Credit?

My DS1 partner gets this benefit and has had an extra payment put into her bank today, she has no idea why but she telling me a lot of peeps over on Facebook also saying the same happened to them too, so just thought i would ask the Elite if anyone else has had similar happen or anyone knows why?

last year we had this and it was because of the end of year final statement they owed us a little money, so maybe it is because of that as we have recently started a new financial year..

Just checked my account and nothing there.
Did she ring them and update anything recently?

I thought they might be but nobody answered when I asked.
I can't remember what day the price are picked and what day they show up :think:

Should show up by now (that's if M are on 10 for £3 - did I have 5 for £3?:think:). Monday collection apparently updated by Wednesday, and it's now Thursday so it should be on this week's pricing by now. Usually very little change in M between the Monday and the midweek collection, so as long as on 'the right week', should be no updating issue.

This week though - Bank Holiday!! Collection Tuesday but even so should then be updated on Wednesday. I'd thought they'd be on this week by now. Otherwise, pricing (from last Wednesday, of course I mean Wednesday of last week;)) would now be over 7 days old and should be returning all N/A with a note (that we wouldn't like!) that unable to compare anything vs Morries.

AAU I found one of the cond spends from that batch. They may have incorporated it into the exclusions by now?

LOL I'll give it another go tomorrow then
I should ring and complain, I only got an APG for 30p.
10 for £4 vs 10 for £3 ain't 30p difference :rotfl:
Oh well, the kids will be happy

I doubt it'll alter - could be wrong but I doubt it will be. (I wonder are you hoping the Wednesday collection picks up all the mbuys? Again, great risk as explained earlier and perhaps likely that, even tomorrow, the Wednesday data (yesterday's pricing) won't quite be in the system yet if checked early in the day on Friday. I think I'd shop at T:eek:.)

savvy your inbox is full try and be a little more organised will you.


message I tried to send.

my asda curry shop worked.

not sure if you ever knew, but the comparison is against an inferior curry and rice, where as its all curry in asda. thanks for inspiring me to find out what exactly it compares to. so I now know how many to get. (as you know I always in the past got in 2's until you told me to get 3's this time)
hopefully link to my shop if other deletions allow

I know. I've got messages queued up to be answered, then yet more space to be cleared out as a result. Sorry for my tardiness again and sorry I'm too popular:D(:rotfl::j). I've noted your message as posted in your post, thanks.:)

May work?

This was on the 8th April. But what booze did you buy? they don't seem to be including beer and wine, just spirits. Obviously because of the alcohol content. You'd have to be practically giving beer away for it to flout the new rules.
If you have any cond spends lying around from after 6th April have a look on them. Mine had an exclusion printed on the front in tiny writing. They hadn't changed the small print on the back or on their website

ETA Actually as you are north of the border, the new legislation here doesn't affect you. I guess if you bought spirits then Sains is leaving the policy alone up there as they must already be complying with the Scottish legislation?

ahhh, it was wine. that I got

You're right, front of conditional spend till spits say "excludes spirits and liqueurs" even in Jockland
