    Do you know please if you can use these in the post office?

    These 3V are online only (they do other Visas too but you have to pay extra for them so no point).

    HSV don't appear to sell any giftcards that are accepted in the Post office (Post Office giftcards are run by One4all - Bank of Ireland, so a rival system).

    Sort of understand what you are saying but I wouldn't get the 150 bonus points per £50. I will be spending £950 so worked out buying from mr T the £38 in points. Debenhams looking better and easier than JL now plus mum will get a voucher based on her quarterly spend so maybe another £15. I will be using my cc points x3 hopefully.
    anyone know the cheapest way?

    With V3 -

    So you go to Tesco, and buy in £100 lots all the V3 you need, enter them in the site to get the codes, and they use these to purchase the gift cards... 14% in either cc or tcb!

    If we round it up - if you use the CC in the x3 you would get £90 in cc and £50 in TCB.

    But I am not sure how you can get the price down with the Debs vouchers, is this the American Fridge?

    Thanks but I can't find any 3v hence my problem.

    They seem to go through phases of having them - no doubt at least partly influenced by how many people know the extra ways of spending them!

    Keep looking - but don't go out of your way to buy them (I have in the past!) as we are talking 150 CC points (£6) for a £50 spend and a fair deal of hassle unless you have a way of spending them lined up!

    I get it now. Shame I can't get any 3v:(

    So by 3v and use to buy giftcards through tcb.

    No I want a macbook air. After the one with larger memory of the 2. Keep procrastinating as want to get best deal overall that I can.
    Was set on JL but no 3v. Can buy debenhams cards in mr t for extra points and use those to pay off mums account.
    Works out £38 in cc points and maybe £15 gv from debenhams.

    Your way is far better just need the elusive cards.
    Mind you already up to limit withdrawing in cc points on my accounts and both my parents.

    Would everyone be in agreement with redfox closing this thread if we asked her so we can all be together in one place.

    It would seem sensible:)

    no, close the other one

    I could never quite believe they were called chubby sticks. It's like a joke suggested by someone in marketing that stuck :rotfl:
