    Hate to bring the thread down, but my wonderful Father in law has passed :(

    He was more of a father to me than my own father ever even tried to be, and will be sorely missed.

    I am just so glad we managed to get the kids to see him before he went.

    Sorry for your loss, E. x

    Good question - the best usage is to sort of up cycle the rewards, sort of to make them stretch further.
    Ive not had a proper look at the list yet - possibly it needs writing out in list form as a memory aid so its easier to cross match.

    Off the top of my head I think Cafe Nero was on the list so if you can exchange a £5 reward for a £5 e- voucher then in Neros use the Virgin Money app reward which gives you a free hot drink with every one you buy., use your e voucher to buy one drink, get one free.
    if it works that way - possibly

    It would also depend on how long it takes for rewards to become e vouchers - maybe some are actually physical gift cards instead.

    I think I saw Cunard on the list but your bills would have to be whoppers to get enough rewards to make a dent in a Cunard final invoice :)

    It needs further investigation I think

    Thanks for this.

    Someone said Amazon vouchers to feed the kindle, but that isn't more than £1=£1.

    Scamps does the phone have to be unlocked for the app to work or just to get the code please? I got the code by putting the sim in an old (non-smart) phone but use the app on my normal phone. Both are unlocked but for future/anyone else's ref? Please and thank you.

    I have a feeling I did this too. I don't think I put the sim in my smart phone. But it was so long ago, I can't remember.

    If your phone isnt unlocked, just find someone with a phone that is, or is on O2, and put the O2 sim in there, get the code, and then just toss the sim away. Put the code into the app on your locked phone.

    Im not very good with apps:o will have to abduct a child to do it:rotfl::rotfl:

    Yes, phone needs to be unlocked to connect to 02 to activate account. once thats done, you put your old one back in.

    Any unlocked phone will do, we used DS's old one, downloaded the app to each phone and then just put the validation code in.
