    I got the same script, but as I have not read the T&C's yet, I could not answer in the same way as you. I did reply to her 'Did you get these vouchers today?' with 'Well I could not have got them yesterday, as it only started today'. Perhaps that set her off on the wrong foot :o:D



    Who told you this?? I have used gift vouchers on petrol on numerous occasions.


    Had 5x200 now. Bloke infront of me at petrol station got 2000 grrrr :mad:


    I have missed them again? :D

    If ever I do catch them in stock, can I only order 3, or is it in multiples of 3, so I can get 6? And do they work out at £1 each? TIA

    Think this is correct that you can no longer use Sainsbury gift cards for your petrol purchases.

    Hi Dave

    I tried to use the gift card at the petrol station and it said 'card not set up' or something. I then phoned the number I was given and S asked how I had got the card. I said it was a prize and she said it couldn't be used on petrol, and, indeed, it does say that on the back. Thanks, Matty, for confirming this. It's a shame though!

    Do you know if it is worth trying to use it on a gift card please?

    Re birdies. Yes, in multiples of 3 as they are 3 for £1. If you thought it was worth it, I presume you can get 2, if that is all that is left, and then something else in the 3 for £1 promotion, but it obviously wouldn't be such a good deal then.

    Hmmm, wonder why they changed that. I might ask tomorrow when I am in. Anyone know how I can change love2shop vouchers into vouchers for sainsburgs/adsa or teskies please?

    This happened to my Aunt when she was in France, she had insurance but had to pay ambulance before they would move her from the accident :( :mad:

    Meningitis is terrible, as a baby DS2 had Meningitis septsemia C when he was a baby... we took him to the GP with a rash on his ankle, who send us to hospital saying he was not sure and wanted it checked out, when we got to the entrance door of the hospital there was staff waiting for us, DS2 was snatched and they ran with him. A lovely nurse looked after us, we followed and could see several doctors working to get a line in him at the same time. They were miracle workers that night. Even in that short period of time, he lost most of his hearing. If he was longer, he would have lost limbs, and within a short period it would have been to late. All I can say is that I love the NHS, and it does scare me that people would ask to see a document before saving someone's life, but we should be better at getting the money either before they leave or from the country of origin if at all possible.

    Evening all. Hope the elite are well. Xx

    So proud of my dd2 she is home from Nottingham after 5 days away from her kids, she stood up for someone she believed in, and not only was he found not guilty after jury being out for 20 mins but judge said case should not have been brought and questions need to be asked. Sadly his accuser won't be charged even though she has done this, 7 times now as she has mental illness .

    Hey lots of people seem to be getting 5000pointers:T

    Thanks for the comparisons juju. It made interesting reading.

    I "did" S in my lunch half hour:)

    3 petrol fills giving me 3 x 200. The S I visited is 2p higher than A so still happy with my 10% off

    Rushed inside to do a quick shop and fell at the first hurdle as my S didnt sell the Iams cat food. So I switched to plan B:) and bought all the items that I was sent coupons for in my mail shot last week. Some of them were on my coupons too so I hit lots of points. Optiwell voucher took off £1.80, Ribena took off another 50p and I had a £2 off no minimum spend too. So only paid £5 something

    Got another 200points.

    Going in the morning for a £50 petrol fill.......in £10's of course:D But in view of the lower numbers of mid value points vouchers being given out, probably won't do another food shop.

    Evening paw sniffers:D

    Are we all well:)

    You were lucky to get Optiwell. I went armed with vouchers but couldn't find any. I asked a SA who kindly went to a computer and told me which stores stocked them, none near me. So now I want a T conditional spend or something!
