I agree that people need to be careful and pace themselves - it is easy to get carried away. Don't build up a stock of 3 v - I did and I got caught out last Christmas getting ready to pay off my Council Tax and HMRC then they changed the rules :mad:.
Worth also noting that "normal" accounts (i.e. not using for 3 V) should be verified for your own safety (address/landline, bank account and main payment card).
Just to add - anyone doing 3 V, any comments I have made about this have been offered in good faith and based on my recent experience/understanding. Anyone joining in does so at their own risk :A.

Im also thinking that investing heavily in CC points at the moment isn't as safe as it has been previously? Something has to give at Ts sometime soon and CC would be an easy option for them. They'd be unlikely to scrap it it, but it'd be very easy for them to make it a less generous scheme.
Just my thoughts on the matter
You are right though. All the 3V doors never seem to stay open for long. I have had thoughts about this and I think that the companies involved....Im thinking of the bank that was taking them? Nationwide, was it? May be worried about legal implications. It's a bit of a grey area but I reckon if you hammered this big time (Im talking bigger sums than most here have access to) you could be venturing into profiteering.0 -

Those free nail polishes and buffers we get with the impulse would go down well with girls this age, as would the impulse actually. I know not everyone agrees but I've always been happy for my DD to have stuff like that at this age. They love experimenting0 -

National Savings was an option but I never got round to them before that option was closed.
It would be ironic that one of the Elite got hit for profiteering given we are in the same topic as banks and Mr T :eek:
I was only recently thinking that having so many points currently sitting in Mr T and in Nect4r is probably not a good idea - having been stung for cashback from the crash of P4U even big companies can fail.

A Morrisons spokesman said: “To help customers get the most out of the programme, Morrisons is also launching a new App.”
The App helps customers to access a live stream of offers on their favourite products, as well as items that have discounts and extra points in-store and online.
http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/business-news/morrisons-rolls-out-loyalty-card-across-the-uk-as-it-takes-on-discount-rivals-1-6915411
Therefore, that's where you may get details of 'points items' from (Morrisons' app.). Possibly.0
