    Cant see how to get £60 of petrol in a car either unless you are driving a tank AAU1 :eek:

    It's been on fumes for a couple of days :cool:

    Can't see how that's possible to get 60,000 on 6 x £10 spends when the vouchers given out are 2000. Even if they were all 2000 points that would only return 12,000 for a £60 spend. Or am I missing something?

    Nah, i was just missing my coffee. :rotfl:

    I think it was because i had £60 in my head as being what i spent and £60 being what the points i won will be worth in a double up

    I think aau has got a bit over excited with his wins and added an extra "0". :rotfl:

    I made it 2 x 2000 and 4 x 500 = 6,000 as those were the combinations he said he won. An accountant getting the figures wrong! :eek:

    That makes more sense, thanks.

    As well as adding an extra 0 on the end he also got the comma in the wrong place :rotfl:

    Poor lad.... stop picking on his maths (mine is far worse!)

    Hi all :)

    Great news about your DD, TS - what a relief for you all :T:T:T

    I managed a JF order this morning :beer:

    My nearest 2 S's are excluded from the promotion, which is annoying :mad::mad:, can't decide whether to go further afield or not.
    Last time this promo was on, my store wasn't on the exclusion list but didn't give out any points. When I queried it via FB, they said it was because that petrol station didn't have the machine to print them out? I have never seen the coupons, but assumed they are the same as the normal ones which offer extra points/money off etc so not sure why they need a different machine. Anyway, they sent me a £5 giftcard because it wasn't listed as an exclusion(which I then lost, so the whole thing was a waste of time :rotfl::rotfl: and I still haven't got over losing it :o)

    Have a good day everyone x

    He picks out every error going! It's fair play in my book :D:D
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.
