Nipped in to S to double up.
Noticed that they credit 4000 points then subtract 8000. I wonder if this will postpone the available balance? !
Hope not. ....

99p....I dont know the best way to use the coupons...I think people have had more luck with the newspaper generated ones rather than the PDF ones but I'm sure someone will be along to disagree.

With regards to how many you can use each transaction thats possibly store dependant...I use 3 local stores who all seem to have different things programmed into their SS till regarding coupons....one will let anything through as long as the item was purchased ...one will only allow 2 coupons before the refer is made and the third store checks everything other than a T generated voucher.

Sorry that doesn't make it much more clearer for you...but I'm not sure you will get a definitive answer to your question as coupon policy can be very store specific

I use the ones with overage about 3 or 4 and hope the operators don't check too much lol but remember to get enough stuff to cover the overage .:)

Not tried at A SS, but on the manned tills it scans then voids then goes in manually OK.

At T SS, it was rejected so SA had to come to validate and input manually but that was 4th Nov and may now have changed - some have said they scan OK now.

One brave person did 25 apparently - don't know if all in one session.

I only use ones from the paper.

DD: Mum, why has my recycling bin gots loads of Metros in it?

Me: Because mine's full.

Morning all! Just popping my head round the door as I've just spent 2 hours writing Christmas cards, and I've done about 80%. Unfortunately DH's family all send (and therefore expect in return) specific cards with the appropriate 'name' on it, ie 'to mum and dad', 'to a special sister' etc, which means a trip to card factory and a lot more expense than if I'd been able to use up the 10p card packs I've got stored in the attic! It will also mean DH has to write those ones himself, which will inevitably involve him leaving it til the last minute and sending them first class as always

Going to do some more job hunting this afternoon. Starting to feel like it's very unlikely I'll find anything before Christmas, and wondering whether to go it alone and start my own business instead.

Has anyone looked at the Market Porter MSE Christmas meat offer? £55 sounds a lot to me, but it's all free-range and it would save the hassle of going to the supermarket and battling the ravenous hoards who seem to think the world is ending if the shops are shutting for 1 day :rotfl:

Best not to use on a self scan as may have to be done by someone who will no doubt check the price of them. The vouchers I use scan fine at the overage price. I Don't bother with BT v a but I believe 5 is the number.

Good morning, lovely Elite :wave:
Has anyone had their mystery bonus points added from Nectar yet?
My transactions aren't showing online, but when I phoned them last week I was told they show at their end.
Shame they're not added in time for the double-up.

A friend once had a spider bite whilst in South America. It swelled up when she got home (hadn't noticed it before) and it DID have eggs in it when removed. The research students at the teaching hospital near her house wrote papers on it! :eek:

Good morning all. Hugs to those in need.

Went to see the most awesome Deacon Blue last night. As I was staying in town I waited with a few others at the Stage Door (how rock and roll) and met the band and now am the proud owner of all their signatures. :T
