    Last week I finally cashed in all my Disney Reward points from the titles I got DTD on in December. I had enough to claim 2 titles but not enough to claim a 3rd :(

    They just arrived and I didn't realise they would send DVDs with more reward points on them :j

    It was enough to claim another title :money:

    If you want to use 4x£5 vouchers on each shop but you are only earning £19.80 per 20 pack shop then you either need to buy a filler which gets you extra points or do 2 shops of 21 packs at the start (you'll max out at £10 Match points on those shops but you'll get £10.50 in More points)

    if you buy 21, 21, 20, 20, 20 and get a 20p filler on each of the 20pack shops then your costs are

    shop 1 (21 packs), pay £20.79 get back £20.5
    shop 2 (21 packs), pay with £20 vouchers and 79p cash get back £20.5
    shop 3 (20 packs) and 20p filler, pay with £20 vouchers and get back £19.80
    shop 4 (20 packs) and 20p filler, pay with £20 vouchers and get back £19.80
    shop 5 (20 packs) and 20p filler, pay with £20 vouchers and get back £19.40 (because of the £100 cap)

    In total you've paid £21.58 in cash but you'll still have £20 worth of points so effective cost for 102 packs of biscuits and 60p of fillers is £1.58

    Spot on, thanks gor this aau, youre a gem!!!! X
  • Fab news Aau, I got loads of codes from OH's sisters. We have loads of disney dvds now but they barely get watched. My DD likes films like Matilda and home alone lol. What ones did you go for?

    Goals: Save £500 for emergencies, Save £200 of Amazon vouchers for Xmas, fix my holey clothes!

    Haven't tested yet to check it compares correctly but Cobra beer (12 x 330ml) is currently on MSM @ £12.00 @ M & S v £7.98 @ A - might be useful for anyone wanting to get to the £15 spend in M (who already has enough biscuits!) or S brand match.

  • Mmm, now that's interesting:think:
    The M&M website viewed on a Mac gives far more detail than on a PC - detailed points transactions, in particular. At least it does for me.

    I hope everyone gets their clothes honoured. Thanks should go to the HUKD Twitter feed for alerting me to it, but I'll take 'em ;)

    Beautiful blue sky today. Can't wait to go out and stretch my legs.

    Someone was asking about internet as I skimmed! I've heard good things about plusnet if you're not bothered about having a Sky/Virgin/BT package. Anyone here have plusnet?

  • Just to let you all know, I did the fox's biscuit shop in Morries and it worked. 990 points back per packet making them totally free. There's a list on the M's website when you type 'fox's' into the search bar in the online groceries. It will tell you which ones you get 500 points back on. They compare to asda who have them for 50p a pack! HTHs someone.
    Very belatedly, but many many thanks hollie:T:j:T

    Not personally Emma - as it was not available in my area when I took out my VM contract. However, my bestie has it and it's really quick and really cheap!
