I have a lot of APG, and I also have a gift card sent from Asda.... do I just ask use an APG bigger than the shop and ask them to put the difference on the gift card.... and why have a few?
Thanks x
if you have a £5 apg and £4 worth of shopping, ask them top top up a gc with £1 or £1.01 as some SA's dont know how to cash 0p, which can cause them to get on the blower to a trout!
you cannot top up a gc and use it to pay the balance in the same transaction (in case u didnt know)
the xmas savers card gives you £6 if you top it up with £144 by tonight. the more u have, the more you get.
ive 20 full ones now so tomorrow, they will all show £1500 -

So you accumulate left over APG onto gift cards or xmas saver card. If you get an xmas saver card and have £144 u will make an extra £6 profit. so you made 20x6 = £120 profit. Also you have £3000 in gift cards!.

I googled it and found the group, it comes up as the 1st hit. I registered a few days ago but after about 1/2 hour it kicked me out. Don't know if it still the same.I have dyslexia, so get used to my spelling and grammarMortgage pay off date 11/2028. Target 12/2020 :rotfl:

I've looked at Santander and it seems very good if your bills are massive and you have a mortgage with them
using their online calculators my utilites might only gain me £43 a year depending on how much the bills rise.
so £43 in cashback but £60 in fees from next year
http://www.santander-products.co.uk/banking/calculator/123ca.html
the 3% for balances up to £20k is a bit more interesting - it says £592 for a full £30K which is good enough if you have the full amount and don't mind such a large amount in a current account.
I feel safer with small parcels squirreled here and there.
My biggest worry though is that its a Spanish bank and I worry about how close Spain is to economic collapse, unemployment of over 25% but actually closer to 50% for youth unemployment (yes I take worrying to a new levels of hysteria)“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.
