    I've had loads already! I doubt there will be many bargains so I will probably just avoid unless I do find a bargain I want! I don't think I will be queuing up anywhere though!

    I hate the emails that say...'sorry, we made a mistake in our last email' ....there seems to be loads of these emails!
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    With those ones I think if a company cannot get a simple e-mail correct then I have no confidence in their ability to safely look after payment data.

    I've noticed that too!


    I certainly won't be buying on Black Friday - cannot be bothered with queues or crashing sites! I don't bother with the sales after Christmas either!

    I'm quite new to comping , started a few months ago, but was wondering why I suddenly get so many emails and especially the "sorry we made a mistake" ones

    For all the new members that are wondering what the advents are all about - and what to expect...

    Just look at these Quidco or TopCashBack threads

    Not me, I have been unsubscribing from everything on my main comp mail account for several months now. I might get a few on my account for newsletter comps though.

    Yes, I think it is good idea as I really peeved about load of emails into my inbox. It's Time to take a leaf out of your example. Thanks :)
