    Just spent an age onto Nectar live chat trying to sort out missing points. I would honestly show you some screen shots of the ridiculous conversations I've just had but there's too much personal stuff in there.

    I've gone round and round in circles. They do not know what a till spit is. They cannot accept that I've earned so many points from a £20 shop:eek: so they must include Mycoupons points!
    My coupon points take 28 days to show! And on and on we went. I was so irritated that I stayed on until the bitter end and beyond knowing they close at 8pm. At 8.01 I was asked how many points I was missing in total and I was told immediately they would all show within 24 hours. Finally:)

    And breath

    have you dared check your account yet today?

    I've had these pointless conversations with nectar. Once I was told points that should have gone on for a shop over the weekend actually went on 2 weeks before I even did the shop!

    I had a problem with my card a while back - I seem to think there was some sort of block on it, no till spits at all. I had been doing regular £20 a week shops but I went down to just the odd pound.
    Instead I got OH a card and used this instead for our usual Sainsbury's shops
    I had a small stash of points on my own nectar card and gradually I whittled those downwards. Eventually I started getting till spits on my own card but it was at least 6 months later.
    OHs card seems to get the better offers now for instance when I registered both for mycoupons he was getting 900 points for a £30 spend every week and I was only getting 200 for a £10 spend

    Same here on both counts E ...trying to find summer clothes in the shop for my Nile cruise is a nightmare but I have managed to pick up a few nice bits of linen in my favourite Charity shops ;)and a nice dress and sequin shawl

    I almost envy you, experiencing that for the first time. It will be forever ingrained in my memory, it was absolutely amazing. And if Abu Simbel is an extra it is well worth paying out for :D

    You know I did think that, when I was replying earlier to mention the M mbuy. I thought "S/P sauce would be cheaper":rotfl:. Of course 75p Sharwoods never got onto the list as that's way too expensive now for me - and it's 400-odd g. and not even 500g - you may as well just go for the regular own-brand 500g sauces for that sort of price (and having to buy mbuy for the Sharwoods).
    Didn't even think to be honest. I'm still very new to all this serious budgeting malarkey and we don't normally buy jars or tins other than beans and tomatoes etc I'm just trying to make life east for a few days to be honest. Though I have a few portions of home made bean soup in the freezer :)

    Ok so DD2's plane has been cancelled to Glasgow. She has been offered to be taken to S'ton and flown from there around 5pm today. They were only going for today and tomorrow. :(

    Being given a light refreshment voucher for S'ton. Any knowledgeable internal flight fliers know if any compensation due.

    Good morning!
    If I did a shop that produced an APG and I had reached my limit for the month am I right in thinking I just don't claim it until November (does it work to calendar months?)
    I'm happy to test some of the wines out although I think they have already reduced the prices of them before the offer because looking at vt and vM campo, wolf blass etc are £8 and only £5&6 in A to start with.
    I think I overdid it with the T wine codes. I could hardly get in the porch yesterday when I got home and I have more coming today which I'm holding Tinyshoes completely responsible for because she pointed out that I could use the same codes on DH account.
    But in saying that who can have too much wine?
    Just waiting for APG to come through and as soon as it does I'll put my order through.

    I have no recollection of that. :o

    But I will gladly take the blame for you. :rotfl: Actually you probably have mine, nothing arrived here. ;)

    But then I didn't actually order. :eek:
