    Ally have you uploaded the same receipt to COS & Clicksnap? I thought you could only do it on one as they're related somehow. Have I missed a trick here?

    Yup. Mine seems to be letting me...Or rather I've been uploading to both and haven't noticed it failing!

    One App has fewer eligible shops than the other. But go ahead and try it. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

    Hi all

    We went out last night. A neighbour gave us a £50 restaurant voucher as a thank you for helping them out (very kind and very generous but then I know £50 isnt a lot to them so I didnt feel too bad!!). Had a nice meal but didnt sleep well so it was an early start.

    Used a voucher for Mr Ts towards a grocery delivery, just waiting for it to arrive.

    Done quite a bit of washing, took yet more junk to the tip and helped OH give the apple trees a haircut. Had leftover odds and ends out of the freezer for tea.

    I have a dilemma. I found £40 worth of Amazon vouchers in a happy birthday gift card in a drawer a while ago. I havent checked but I am fairly sure they havent been used. I have a vague idea that my 14yo lost some vouchers but I am not certain and hubby cant remember. They have been in that drawer for at least a year, probably longer.

    What to do? If I ask the kids it could end up in an argument and they could both claim they were theirs. I could split them, or I could buy something that benefits the whole family. Or just keep them for now. I had this thought that I could even keep them and give the kids one each for Christmas but maybe that is so wrong. Ideas please.

    Hi jonno :hello: it's been a long while! I really don't know the answer to this but really hope someone can explain this whole thing to me!

    Yes DNMS, it has been too long. I've been reading ad-hoc but not joining in nearly enough. I see things have changed a lot with your family, - I hope life is treating you well at the moment and the world is being kind to you. So lovely to 'see' you - shall we have a virtual cuppa :coffee:

    Hi Jonno.

    Download the CheckOutSmart App and the Quidco ClickSnap Apps to your phone. Both have a feature where you take a photo of your receipts and upload the receipts to them and you are rewarded with 5p a time. Thus one receipt can be uploaded twice and generate 10p cashback.

    You'll also get other offers on these Apps, mainly money back on brand names but the Shopitize App has been giving money back on any milk lately.

    CheckOutSmart are offering the full cost of some items back too.

    Thank you so much ... bumbles off to download and thrilled I have a batch of receipts to see if they work :T

    Your children haven't missed them. Greatest good for the greatest number: buy something for the whole family

    Jonno, there's a limit to how many you can put through in one day. If your pile is huge you may need to do some of them tomorrow.
