Re Waitrose our nearest one is Chester . I have 4 think it's £6 off a £30 spend. When this happens I like to go the once and use all 4 at the same time. Needless to say I'm there ages and my heads spinning. I don't like to buy things that are dearer than anywhere else as it defeats the object. Don't know if I can get my head round the pyo . Where are you Nellie

See if the fairy washing liquid 24 is in your picks. If so they are £7.00 each or 2 for £8.00 so with pick your own you get 2 for £5.20 making it £2.60 for 24 washes bargain. They are good for bumping up a shop.

Good luck, will be nice when you finally win

I was just wondering if it might be worth contacting Watchdog on this? Bit of a cheek expiring gift cards as they already have the money. Apparently in the US gift cards are not allowed to expire for at least 5 years.

Bit of a mouthful but the US legislation contains this

(e) Prohibition on sale of gift certificates or cards with expiration dates. No person may sell or issue a gift certificate, store gift card, or general-use prepaid card with an expiration date, unless:
(1) The person has established policies and procedures to provide consumers with a reasonable opportunity to purchase a certificate or card with at least five years remaining until the certificate or card expiration date;
(2) The expiration date for the underlying funds is at least the later of:
(i) Five years after the date the gift certificate was initially issued, or the date on which funds were last loaded to a store gift card or general-use prepaid card; or
(ii) The certificate or card expiration date, if any;
(3) The following disclosures are provided on the certificate or card, as applicable:
(i) The expiration date for the underlying funds or, if the underlying funds do not expire, that fact;
(ii) A toll-free telephone number and, if one is maintained, a Web site that a consumer may use to obtain a replacement certificate or card after the certificate or card expires if the underlying funds may be available; and
(iii) Except where a non-reloadable certificate or card bears an expiration date that is at least seven years from the date of manufacture, a statement, disclosed with equal prominence and in close proximity to the certificate or card expiration date, that:
(A) The certificate or card expires, but the underlying funds either do not expire or expire later than the certificate or card, and;
(B) The consumer may contact the issuer for a replacement card; and
(4) No fee or charge is imposed on the cardholder for replacing the gift certificate, store gift card, or general-use prepaid card or for providing the certificate or card holder with the remaining balance in some other manner prior to the funds expiration date, unless such certificate or card has been lost or stolen.

Considering US consumer law is normally far worse than ours, it might be worth pressing them to at least come in line with that.
