    No problem, happy to help. If T's prices are picked up I think the apg would be £3.09 for each meal deal making the net cost £1.91 per deal :)

    And down to 91p if you get the peanut butter ice cream and claim the £1 on Shopit!:T

    :o:o No doubt this will be old news or untrue or whatever but I thought it was worth posting :)

    So this guy was spotted wandering round with a Point of Sale (POS) device. All he has to do is key in a price less than £30 and then touch the device on the pocket that contains your wallet. Ching! You've just been charged automatically on your touch pay enabled credit/debit card.... We just tried this in my local pub with their POS device and it worked... (I've actually shown people this using the NFC function on my mobile to read their card data through their wallet to freak them out but this is the first time I've seen someone doing it for real). Time to invest in a screened wallet I guess...

    This is just so scary, and the fact that all or most cards now have this contactless payment, which I dont like at all.

    Time to go back to cash, I think...

  • On a happier note, I just rang HMRC and it seems I am due some tax back. :T

    with my contactless card I don't even remove it from my phone case in mcd's I just wipe my phone over it - sometimes I'm not even over the numberpad thing and it beeps as paid!! I also said to my oh that it seems scarily easy for fraud - now I know it is!!

    If anyone feels so strongly about the above that you want to reply can you do so on twitter please and keep this thread free of it?

    Thanks

    before anyone goes into spasms re twitter - on the Elite we are constantly reporting glitches, freebies, offers, coupons, bargains on an hourly basis.

    this person maybe does a few tweets per month and has 37 followers - so why is anyone getting upset?

    Twitter is the equivalent of standing in the market place and shouting out and seeing if anyone sees and hears you. if you want privacy then you set up a private FB group and get people to apply to join.

    My Asda has no mention of the £5 meal deal. Is it only specific stores or will the offer come up when scanned at the till?
    Thanks
