I think the only way you could get that free is on prescription. You will spend a lot less buying supermarket or pharmacy own brand Paracetomol suspension though. Exact same ingredients but cost a lot less. You pay for the name with Calpol.

Thanks again,

I looked on my supermarket for the same Paracetomol suspension and your right Asda's own brand was £1.20 cheaper than Calpol. :A

Thank you. So that appears to mean it is based on the day you claim the voucher, rather than the alternatives, and within the calendar month. Hopefully you haven't lost much? For anyone else near the £100 limit where claiming the voucher would mean you would be capped, if you don't wish to lose any a reminder that if you wait until Saturday (next month) then you should get the full amount.

Now Munqui, if you accept the challenge and are willing to try a C&C test shop on behalf of the Elite, and there is another adult that could legitimately have an account in your house, it would be interesting to see if/how "Household" is enforced on the system as you know your "household" is currently up to the £100 limit ... obviously only if you would be shopping anyway, don't go overboard on the test in case it does still recognise the £100 limit has already been met (and if necessary, something that could be returned after the test).

I don't believe anyone has actually tested this previously to know if household is enforced (someone mentioned it is in their T&Cs that they will not issue vouchers above £100 to a household, so I am sure I am not the only one intrigued to know if they do!)?

Obviously, no pressure to do this and if you don't want to/can't, or are one of the Elite who sticks to the rules so this would be outside your comfort zone, then we would fully understand :A. Note to all - I am not encouraging anyone to break the T&Cs of APG or any offer, just curious ...

Many thanks

Had to dash earlier but back now...



Hmmm, I had been thinking of setting up an account for the MIL (different address, legitimate reason too in that she doesn't drive or have a debit/credit card and is pretty hard up), so the idea of managing couple of accounts is something i've already thought about.

My wife could setup an account :think:, but instead of doing another CC tomorrow, I'm probably going to attempt £51 on each account next month (glitches allowing ofc), we really don't need any groceries at the moment.

Then again I've got until 1pm tomorrow to change my mind :rotfl: 7 fillers and an expensive (so expensive i should return it) bottle of 1L JD :think: 90p back v M

edit: oh i didn't lose out as knew how close to the limit i was, it was the difference between 8 and 10 boxes of udi :rotfl:

It works per account not per household.

Just back in from A and realised that I've picked up the wrong peas:o

Still they'll get eaten.:)

Finally got my Carling cider and promoted by Elaine's post this morning spotted a womble with 3 pumpkins on......so £1.50 back on TCB.:T

Off to sort out my receipts......
