    Just reading back and I see a mention of P Pal, I would just like to tell you of my experience yesterday, I had an email from pp telling me they tried to take a payment from my bank for £450 converted to US dollars,to make a payment to xxxx who had requested it,( I do have the e mail address) the bank refused as not enough funds,( I only keep a float of about £20 in that bank acc.) looking at the e mail I thought it was a scam but seeing as they used my full name I decided to read it all,I phoned pp who were most helpful and came to the conclusion somebody had got my p/w for pp and did the transaction.nobody knows my passwords at all, upon there advice I have now changed my p/w, i also spoke to my bank who said if the funds had been in the account the cash would have gone to pp as requested, now I'm thinking... Could this be an inside job as nobody could possibly guess my p/w.

    They don't have to know the password, they will have a piece of software that searches email addressed and then tries random passwords until it gets the right one.

    Is there a possibility it's because of this? From M&M T&C. I read that as for this type of promotion all the items need to be the same.

    Taken from the table of how they apply different promotions:

    Save X% when you buy Y products

    All products must be the same and all have the same price

    For example:
    Save 25% off the total cost when purchasing 4 bottles of the same wine. E.g. a bottle of wine costs £10, so when 4 are bought it costs £30.


    I could be off the mark. I suppose the only way of knowing would be to buy 6 the same and see what happens?

    No ,I did get the full 25% discount.
    I didn't buy 6 Gallo as it would have been capped at 10000 points if it had worked.

    I've just noticed I was only awarded £1 for the free cider and it was £2 needless to say they have received an email.

    It could depend on what options you set up for password retrieval

    Your computer could be infected with a key stroke logger

    You might have signed in at some point over an unsecured network

    You might have signed in somewhere and not signed out

    Someone might have seen you key in your password

    Etc

    Etc

    I saw Saxon around 87/88 I think

    This was one of my favourite songs in the 80s :)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkKrUz45icE

    I must have taped this LP to use in my Walkman, it reminds me of doing my paper round early 80's :rotfl:

    Wahay in the middle of catching up thinking hum wonder if anyone on here watched this band lol. Not my first concert but did get to see Saxon and meet Biff afterwards (BF's of the time hero). Otherwise 10cc was my first (Manchester Apollo), then Paul Young (with QTips) College of Ripon & York St John (Ripon), Bad Manners (Ripon), and Prince 5 times of course (last one Leeds this year)..... :D

    Edit - forgot Judy Tzuke, Weapon of Peace - sure there's more but realising I now have an age thing re remembering lol - expect a couple more edits ...... Teardrop Explodes, .

    No, what I mean is even though you qualified for 25% off Instore.....that reads to me like your 6 wines would have had to be the same to qualify for a M&M comparison for that type of promotion.
    I don't know if Im explaining it clearly, I know what I mean :o

    It is just guess work at the moment I suppose.

    I've managed it, there was a little arrow at the side of the card, and this brought up the selection of cards.

    I now want to drive to Tesco and get some more!

    I've spent the past half hour trying to work out what you are all doing with these 3v cards. I'm not getting it. Can anyone please explain? Tia
