Note that Morrisons are changing their gift card reward scheme. From 12 July you will not get the X pence off a litre coupons, but instead you'll get "More" points (worth less than the fuel discount, if you buy full tanks)

Fuel coupons earned before 12 July are valid until the date printed on them and they are stackable, so you can use several on one fuel purchase.

And it's a B&Q Diamond Club card, not an OAP card, you cheeky young whippersnapper, available to anybody over 60.

Yes i am aware its being changed, Thanks. It was just an example regards why bother vouchers/gift cards.

"young whippersnapper" i wish i feel 65 never mind 60. Sorry could not remember scheme name.

No doubt when i get to allegeable for all these pensioner schemes the younger generation will have stopped them.(one for DT maybe ) Live long and prosper.

Yes it was me, and yes I pay contactless, then get the fuel voucher, fill up my car on the way out and use contactless again for the fuel.

I have found that Amazon are now using their multipack vouchers rather then £10 and £25 ones, but thats okay as I buy the £30 ones, and then £25, then my little bit of shopping.

:-)

Good idea to use your contactless on the fuel as well...

BUT...

...aren't you limiting your savings on the fuel saver? Imagine this scenario:

purchase £100 amazon vouchers from morrison's contactlessy

= £5 contactless cashback + 10p off per litre of fuel

Then you either

(a) purchase £30 of fuel contactlessly (within the same month assuming you have a second TSB account)
= Assuming you get around 27 Litres of fuel and then took off 10p per litre you would save £2.70 + 5% cashback on the transaction (£1.50)
saving a total of £4.20

(b) purchase a full tank of fuel (lets say 60L)
saving a total of £6

Thanks Westie. I don't think our local Morrisons is geared up for contactless, it certainly isn't at their petrol station.

That's interesting, I've got the main use of my TSB contactless from morrisons petrol stations, and used them across the mid,ands and South Wales and it's always worked contactless.

The other supermarkets apart from Waitrose are very patchy.

It's not pedantry... just wrong.

Quick questions: is TSB contactless cashback calculated based on calendar month periods?

Yes, by calendar month and by transaction date, rather than statement date IIRC

What was the reason for getting less than £5 cashback again? I'm sure it was posted somewhere, can't find it.

That was my understanding but doesn't appear to be the case. Used it for a morrisons fuel transaction on 30th June, was actually statemented on 1st July and not included on June cashback.

My experience as well and the reason why I seldom get full cashback... Very confusing.
