    Sorry - can you post a link to the rules as I can't see them only the generic ones. I don't want to keep going against the rules!

    Hi I'll beat both those nett prices (so after cashback taken off by at least another £50 
    so eg Maxeria Blue Didyma 4427 - 132 = £4295 and I'll be less than £4245
