    A trigger is something that is on the receipt when you pay, but does not show on either msm or asda.com and when you put your receipt in the price guarantee it does not see it hence you cannot see it up there ^^^^ hth

    Just been reading this thread and great work guys. I work as a field engineer and get a company fuel card that can be used in any petrol station so I have a Nectar card and a Morrisons card which I use to collect points from the fuel. Does that count?

    I think that counts but tbf you would be better off with tescos as you can get 2/3/4 times the value and morrisons dont do that

    Yes definately. You are using the cards that someone else pays for to collect something for you..total womble.

    If you wanted to do it my way you'd work out how much you made in nectar points then use the points for food and the money you would have used to reduce your debt. Some people seem to call that a zero sum spend.

    I am with Bubbs on this... Tesco's all the way for petrol/diesel.......to get the x3/4 offers...


    I am saving up for a diamond ring! (I have enough points for a £1200 ring...... but will carry on saving as I fancy something nice!)

    Thank you, never thought of it that way, I will do that. Your idea makes complete sense :D

    Sunshinemummy, wow that's a lot of points! I will get a club card from tescos, and just fill up when I come across one.

    QO, before you start collecting point make sure that you can still reclaim the cost of the fuel as some companies do not allow this, whilst others actively encourage it....

    I have been collecting hard for about one year... often using 3v gift cards (but they are hard to get your head around).

    Been offthethread a while, great work everyone, not sure about the
    APG as I don't shop there often, do use COS but don't eat many of the free products, however I do keep trying.

    Been on inbox pounds for years and just started doing their surveys which bumped up earnings and finally able to claim my first £20, free money yippee, investing it on my birthday meal. Happy days

    I'm back from vacation! 3 weeks away from work and home; 1 week at parents', 2 weeks on an island. We have spent a lot of money (compared to our noirmal spending), but it was worth it. Dh joined me and my dds the last week on the island and it was our very first family vacation ever!

    On the island I managed to womble a few coins (sorry, I did not keep track), and 5 free soft ice creams.
