this is now gone live on my account 123 (sorry if there's a thread already), only for snobby Waitrose at the moment on my account, 5% off - still no good as this wont tempt me into store.


I much prefer the 10% discount at Morrison's Halifax keep offering me.

    Perhaps you've used B&Q, Currys, Tesco, Radisson and Costa.

    Other companies are prepared to buy your custom.

    Got Waitrose (5%, max £10) and Heals (15%, max £250). We are using Waitrose all the time, not spent anything in Heals for about 30 years.

    £200 waitrose gift card coming up I guess

    (5% off max £10)

    Not as good as Amex 20% off and ebay bidding is too bothersome

    Unfortunately you can't buy the paper vouchers any more and get change in cash

    Be careful how you pay for it - some CCs treat it as a cash advance. Can't find anything in the 123 CC T&Cs but better safe than sorry.

    How would any CC know whether I was buying a gift card or groceries?

    In any case I would be using my debit card as I don't have a 123 CC. But I've just realised I can ask for cashback instead...

    It's very simple - the retailer will pass the information to the credit card company.

    They could do the same with cashback at the till - but I have never been offered cashback when paying with a CC, only with debit cards.
