    Good morning all.
    Happy Birthday emmap, have a lovely day.
    Happy anniversary Snap-ant and Fourp. How many years?

    I spent most of yesterday at the hospital with Mum and her partner. He has been very poorly, has had lots of tests and went for a echocardiogram. It showed a collection of fluid in the sac around his heart, and a chest xray showed fluid on his lungs. He has heart failure and his ankles are grossly swollen. The Dr decided to keep him in to give him iv diuretics to try to get rid of the fluid as he is having difficulty in breathing. There is an underlying possible diagnosis of lung cancer, to be confirmed by a biopsy next week.:(

    Feeling very sad for Mum, as she has already been through this with my Dad 12 years ago when he passed away from cancer. She has been so happy over the last 7 years with her partner and it's such a shame.
    I'm supporting them both as much as I can. I'm pleased that he is in hospital to get sorted out, and that my Mum can have some rest. She has lost so much weight and looks so frail.:(

    Sorry to hear this. Sounds like he is in the best place, and at least your mum will get a bit of a break.

    Happy anniversary snap, sorry Mr fourp forgot, hopefully he'll make it up to you!

    Didn't know that but i've made a few withdrawals on each without incident, so far.

    When bending t&cs it always best to withdraw/spend asap otherwise if your caught and they suspend you could lose plenty. I always spent apg evouchers the same week i got them before they suspended me.

    Of course having enough names/bodies for accounts is helpful too ;)

    It's just worth bearing in mind that it is possible for them to link the accounts

    checkoutsmart T&C say that "a maximum of two member accounts may be linked to a single payment account (BACS/Paypal)"

    That sucks. Are your email addresses totally different from each other?

    Theory and practice don't always tally in many walks of life. ;)

    Have they told you why it has been suspended?

    No it just says suspended, not bothering with it now!
    We're just happy to have a home, a family and our health. Whatever else is just added and it fits. :)

    I've been getting my Mars Bars from Sains locals/petrol stations :money:
    The T&Cs say "swipe" and no minimum but wondering if the visits register when no points earned...
    Can you see the visits under your Nectar card transaction history - provided you spent less than £1?...

    At a guess, promotion abuse/claiming against T&Cs if more than one account? (Not judging, just saying likely cause). Some of these sites track the IP or place cookies so know when multiple "people" are claiming from the same address (regardless of what you actually complete on a claim form) and have in their T&Cs about third party claiming too.

    It wouldn't be so bad but without the Elite and people like us their promotions would fail as most muggles would never get round to claiming (and some of us Elite :o mess up when there are claims involved).
