    I overpay my bill, and then O2 automatically credit the extra bit to the next bill. So if your bill is £9.24, you could pay £10 one month and then O2 would carry over the 76p, so your next bill would be 76p less.
    Brilliant, thanks. I will give that a try.

    On my mobile they are now taking 2 minutes or so to load before the timer starts which is bad enough then sometimes there is a 30 second ad before it all - so when SB Watch is running bonus rounds of 9 videos that can be 25 to 30 mins just on ads without any video run times which without skipping them probably brings it close to an hour for a massive 2 SB.

    Aye, they are pointless at the moment. Entertainow is broken for me too, so I'm down to 3 phone apps.

    Hello. Sorry for being thick but what time then would you restart the apps to run them twice? Does it now reset at 2 am and 8 am?
    Thanks

    I've only ever redeemed Amazon vouchers - does the Mastercard work like a normal card? I wondered if I could use it on my Amazon account as back-up instead of having my bank card registered with them. Too many accounts hacked lately and registered cards used for big purchases (mine's not a credit card so would not have that good a protection if used)

    Yes you can. However there is a weird £0.99p charge that sometimes gets applied to pre-paid cards which means it may get rejected as having insufficient funds. Better to purchase an Amazon GiftCard for yourself. If or when the Mastercard gets rejected as as having insufficient funds when buying the giftcard just keep re-applying until it's accepted!

    Edit: misunderstood what you meant as a back up card. As a back up it would only have the limited amount, say £10, on it that you bought it for, so not much use. If you buy the Amazon Giftcard (from Amazon!) you can then check your remaining giftcard balance before a purchase, and even top up the giftcard balance as required.
