    So this afternoon very tongue in cheek I tweeted Aldi with a suitable photo and said don't think I've not noticed that you have added 4p to the price of your 350g blocks of cheese - the cheek of it! :D
    They sent a standard reply to say my comments had been passed along

    I also tweeted Sainsburys with a picture of their winter spice bleach to say how under whelmed I was. Despite the purple label and festive images my bathroom was not filled with the fragrance of Christmas. I said perhaps I had overly exaggerated expectations of a festive aroma from the pictures on the label.
    They asked for a picture of the barcode and my nectar card number and are putting £5 of points on my card to make up for my disappointment :rotfl:

    It is nothing to scare the horses though - if you register your debit or credit card that you regularly use instore it means you can collect cashback for your instore purchases as well as online (selected retailers only). This is just encouraging you to join.

    Personally I trust TCB and QC (as much as you can trust any organisation!) and only see the positive - more cashback for instore puchases and currently more entries to the competition :). That said, I probably trust QC more than TCB to chase payments and pay up when there are any tracking issues.

    I apparently registered mine a while ago and totally forgot about it. I had to pay to get the battery replaced in OH's watch (couldn't get the back off :eek:) and had it done in H Samuels, checked Quidco a few weeks later and realised I had got 22p cashback on it!
