Money Moral Dilemma: Should we share in sister-in-law's cashback?

chrismeister

If you're at a restaurant then you're obviously not money saving? Surely it's about enjoying being there and not trying to scrape back half a percent of your bill? I don't go out often since it's senselessly expensive but I certainly don't faff over tiny percentages when I'm paying so much in the first place!! Personally I'd have a problem with someone trying to complicate the bill paying process

Totally agree with Samsung66. My brother is great on coupons/vouchers/deals and offers and we share the knowledge! As a family we usually eat out this way and do the necessary printing out of vouchers etc beforehand. The better the deal, the happier we all are. I am not saying we are the perfect family by any means, it is just the unwritten rule in ours to be totally upfront on offers! So thanks bro for the free admission voucher to national trust property and for driving, (I paid petrol and mum bought lunch, happy day!!)

No. If you think the idea is so good you want a share of the proceeds, then use your Sister In Law's example an DO IT YOUR SELF! After all, she has only followed the tips/examples given by Moneysavingexpert :-)

She's obviously far more savvy than you - well done girl!

I fail to see what your problem is with this - they gave you a present, it doesn't matter what the source was - if I buy something, as a present. from Tesco Direct with my Clubcard does that make it less vauable? The goods are earned, whichever way you look at it....

I wouldn't worry too much about it, you're not losing out as it seems you can't be bothered to do it yourself
I actually ask people if they want to pay with their card and I give them the cash. However, I know that a daughter has gained over £1000 in a year but I think it takes a bit of OCD in you....

I don't understand the problem. In that you've caused it yourself by agreeing every time. If it bothers you, just say thanks, but you'd rather use your own card. And if you don't have the guts, at least don't be petty about it.

It seems to me that you just don't like her, and are looking for a reason to complain. Otherwise you'd have paid the bill yourself by now.

Blimey! Can people really be this tight fisted?

Seriously, at the most she's earning 1% on her cash back card. It's pence, not pounds......PENCE.

Now people can get almost addicted to the thought of getting cash back, same with club cards. Maybe she's all excited at this, even though she's getting little. Let her have her fun, she's family to you.

Or are you going to fall out over 25p? Fair enough to anyone who would. Bet you don't tip either.

I'd be more worried about my consumer rights than a few pence in cashback, to be honest. If she pays she is the only one who can complain or get a refund for faulty goods. If anything goes wrong she would have to take it up for you.

Why don't you pay your own bills and do your own shopping? You shouldn't let other people try and live your life for you.
