    Please can I ask did everyone who got blocked and banned by shopotize get themselves reinstated?

    I think FB had a day of it as well, blocking people.

    Also what happened with the Nectar extra points thing? Did everyone get their promised bonus points for buying Lakeland items? If so how much your bonus points? Did they award for under £1 purchases?
    Also I think some people did Currys, Dunlemn mill and other orders - did you get your bonuses?

    Ive had so many nectar problems with bonus offers in the past and as it was so close to holiday time I didn't take part

    I love giving compliments to the individual, management and company ... but it is sadly to rare an occasion x

    Too true. Sometimes you get a very vexing day and you think the Karma has all gone to pot so you have to find a way to redress it and to get things back in balance but finding some random act of kindness to do is near impossible :)

    DM, you can take your light bulbs if they are specials. You would be expected to let the buyer know this before they make you an offer.

    I will probably just leave them to be fair, they were about £20 each, but in the whole scheme of things, fade into insignificance.

    Morning! (How rude! I should've said that in my first post this morning.)

    My Greggs app is just showing the free hot drink. :(

    drat, just checked mine yesterday and noticed the free Heinz breakfast ???? - breakfast bap and coffee - but didn't get to check OHs. I missed the last offer as we didn't get to go to Chester or Liverpool last month - it was something neither of us liked so it was doing to be donated.

    But the last time we were in Greggs while stood in the queue offers we thought had expired re appeared - I had the granola reappear, that was horrible as well. OH had 3 offers appear but the staff could just not get them to scan off his app so they said he could have his crisps and granola anyway :)

    Have you any idea how long it would take to read the whole thread?:eek::eek: If someone is now starting to do so from scratch:rotfl:.
    yes i do, i knew it was spam, as red fox has now confirmed. if they really wanted to know how we operated, they could have skimmed and asked a few questions. but he/she just wanted us to fill the servey in and make them a few £££.

    But was it really spam? Yes it was against forum rules, but I had a quick look at the link and the contact email appeared to be a legitimate university email address and he may indeed be conducting research for his PhD if I understood correctly. However, he may need to review his approach though as I doubt that approach was approved for his PhD.

    I have been looking at somewhere to move our Cash ISAs to and have settled on T Bank where you get 1.11% for a 1 year fix - you can get 1.1% with Coventry BS on Easy Access but I decided T would be quicker to set up given I have T Current and Savings. If you make any withdrawals within the year then you lose 90 days interest. Who would have thought it would take so much effort to get 1% :eek:.
