    I got the Mecca call yesterday too - have not yet been on to the site, but they said they would credit me with £20 to welcome me back!

    How many games of deal or no deal did you have to play before you could withdraw your winnings?

    I kept playing 50p games and then delaing as soon as they offer ed me anything above 50p ;) sometimes I had to accept 45p-50p but generally I didn't win or lose much. I kept checking back to see how much it would let me withdraw after each game. I think i played about 5-10 games.

  • Hi Benben and Hypno have you both done the Closer Bingo £10 free? I've just won £59 so very pleased with that ...Yay..

    Was there an offer when you originally did the Mecca Bingo? Now its get £10 when you deposit £10 so I can't see much point in that?

    Hi Benben
    Try and get the card thing with mbna sorted asap. i had a card with them once and if you go over your limit the 0% interest stops immediately and you pay the standard rate of interest usually over 20%:eek: Not good news if you are stoozing.:confused: It will be in the termas and conditions of your card - and yes the balance transfer fee is counted as part of your limit so be careful.
    Reduce,re-use, recycle.

    Thanks sophiesmum ... I just called them and played dumb and explained I didn't know etc etc, and they agreed to only charge half the fee (£6) and have continued the 0% offer ;):D Thanks for the tip though :D

    I dont remember what the deal was when I joined Mecca bingo, but I've never won anything on the bingo sites yet and I think I've done nearly all the offers :rolleyes: :D

    Hey benben, glad you got the mbna thingy sorted out. Just checking, did you use saynotto0870 to phone mbna? I use that all the time so I can use the free minutes on my phone to call. You've done loads, again! Have a fun day :)

    Oops, no forgot to use it mushypeas :o:o okay, today .... the flat is fairly tidy, just needs a bit of finishing off :rolleyes: then we're having a roast today so need to plan a time for that ;)

    My sister has dropped round their spare camera so I can get on with some more ebaying later :D No idea how I'm gonna make my £10 for the January challenge today, but at least if I can get some stuff on ebay I might get extra another day this week ;)

    Good luck today benben, you've made £76 already!! Wow :)

    Edit: I saw in SS thread that you can apply for credit card through quidco and get £41 cashback so I've done that today...though don't know if it will track but I thought it was worth a go!
