    thanks anon i learn something new everytime i come on here did not know apg 19.99 in store. i have had them check authorisation recently for 9 pound odd. but it was on a spend of £12

    You are welcome. According to the apg rules (which we all abide by :A) you could have one apg of £100 or claim up to 10 in 1 month, but above £19.99 triggers a supervisor authorisation on all tills. Most stores are set to allow up to £19.99, though there are exceptions that some of us have found now and again, plus every so often there seems to be a random supervisor check triggered by the till, even in stores that are normally fine.
