mhoc...I am no expert, but think I have managed to understand it by reading the threads over on the pensions forum. I dont want to take over the elite thread into a sipps discussion, so think you are best asking questions over there as they are very clued up!
But to briefly answer your questions....
There have been a lot of changes to the pensions and the way that you can access them in the last few years, so maybe this has some significance?
The Elite are the experts in everything shopping related, but there were other opportunities going on a few years ago regrading opening multiple bank accounts..for the sign up bonus for example....I think it was with Yorkshire....that people over on the banking thread were hammering, but the elite did not know about it. I stumbled upon it too late, as it was withdrawn, so did not bring it over, as no point knowing about 'what we could have had'.
The sipp is a cash sipp, so you dont have the fluctuations like other sipps.
You have to understand how to get the money out again, tax free.
I am no expert so would suggest reading over on the thread, and asking the people over there questions. I have found them really helpful

Ok I will make a list of questions and venture over there - Elite is like a warm cosy blanket, visiting other forums is slightly daunting incase they think your questions are very idiotic

TM, I got told at cs desk in S that I could only have one voucher added to each card. I asked her to get me the manager as I would like to see that in the T&C's, as I had read them, and could not see any mention of this 'rule'. She went off, and she came back (without the manager), and said...'she said I can do it this once'...lol

An Ebay question please. I had one of the offers this morning, £1 if you sell anything which i accepted.

Does this only apply to future sales, not ones already listed?

I ask because I listed 3 dresses last Sunday, one has no interest at all, one has had lots of views but no watchers. The 3rd though has 8 watchers which looked very encouraging and its just had its first bid :j
So when it ends will it incur £1 fees or the fees it would have had previously?

I dont know why this dress is so fascinating, I listed it because it looks very ordinary and everyday and sparked no joy.

Morning luvlies, mention on the dark side best nectar virgin trains west coast offer yet 1,500 pts for any journey. Not on either of my accounts but may help someone

While I was checking on my app I happened to flick to my loaded offers. Both mine and DH collect points on each of your next 10 swipes at Sainsbobs were both full, showing green and ticked on Friday when I last checked. Our accounts are both showing amber, DH now needs 4 more shops to complete and I need 7 :eek:. What's happened, has anyone else had this happened please? We both swiped many times each last weekend.

Unless people get different offers, the 500 point train offers expire in 3 days, so maybe the 1500 is coming up next as it couldn't apply both to your next train booking?

I just got my bonus applied - 100 points.

re Sainsbobs, I did 2 shops earlier in the week and put 200 points in each card. After that the ss till would not accept any so I had to go to Cs to get another 2 put on. This could be a very long job.

I went to the ss tills with a few items on Thursday eve & successfully put a 200 points through but it rejected the next one. The sa came over & said I'll have to put them through on another till. He took them all after me counting what I had, 7 vouchers = 3000 points & put them all on & gave me a receipt. I checked last night & they're all showing but the 2x1000 show as a single 2000 & the 2x2000 show as a single 4000. CS was closed. Painless. Good luck.

My understanding is the offers apply to listings posted after you have accepted the offer in the time frame stated - so your existing listings will have the fees in force when you listed them.

Now if you cancelled the listings and relist I think they would then count (if you are allowed to?).

With the relisting, personally I copy & paste the old listing as a new listing, rather than use the relist button. just so it would qualify
