And isnt it a complicated process to make a comment or am I being slow??
It's not really spending a fiver though, really, it's cashing in reward points which have no real monetary value. In terms of Sainsbury's, you could get 2.50 off in real terms, but that's less of a saving than the Pizza Express deal - and it involves less pizza.
I got my voucher ordered! Only thing I get nervous about is handing the voucher over to the waiter/waitress, I always feel a bit embarassed. Still, it's worth it for a free Sloppy Guiseppe!Original Debt 08/10/07: £3200

Reward points do have real monetary value! In the case of nectar, 500 are worth £2.50. So two vouchers will cost you £5, whatever way you look at it. You could have had £5 off your shopping, but you are choosing not to, so it is costing you £5. It's true the Pizza's are a better deal, because they could be worth £18. So by choosing to buy these vouchers you are saving £13 (assuming you normally go to Pizza Express and buy £18 worth of Pizza anyway).carrliadiere wrote: »Only thing I get nervous about is handing the voucher over to the waiter/waitress, I always feel a bit embarassed.
Why are you embaressed??
They are running an offer and you are taking part. I don't see any reason to get embarassed

I don't know, it makes me feel like a cheapskate. I will do it though, I'm not that embarrased.Original Debt 08/10/07: £3200

Sorry - Just so that I understand this..
With this Voucher - I can go into a Pizza Express and get any second pizza for FREE?

Yes, the cheapest one is "free". I use quotation marks because you used your points to get the voucher so it's not free in the true sense of the word. It's more "buy one get one for £2.50 worth of nectar points" ...but that's not very catchy

I still think it's free. I got those Nectar points as a byproduct of buying something I wanted to buy anyway, or for providing a quaterly meter reading to EDF (who are quite generous with their points), or for filling in online surveys to get bonus points.Reclaimed thanks to this site:

So...can I order 2 vouchers, take 2 adults and 2 children out for tea and use both vouchers? ie pay for 2 out of 4 meals?
Thanks

Ah, exactly! It's not cash, it's not in your current account, you don't have to pay it back - it's not money, it's free!Original Debt 08/10/07: £3200
