How, please?

I have spent over £40 on 5 x £3 cards in the past few weeks .

No need to extend those .

Simple Take any one of your £3 (£10) gift cards and that becomes your main card.
Then transfer every other one individually to the main card. Scan main card first, then scan donor card, scan main card again to get balance check after each one and repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat.....think you get the drift.
I moved 22 cards onto 1. Of course you wouldn't want to be doing this at peak time as it's a phaff and you'll probably get refused, so pick a very quiet time of day, ask nicely and job done.
The very helpful assistant in my local offered when I told her I had won a few.

I've since e-mailed Costa HQ to praise the staff member so I do hope it gets back to her with perhaps a little reward.

I just used a £3 C0sta giftcard dated later in the year ... and it seems to only have £3 on it .

Yes, it's only the Jan ones which have £10. Thought that was already known. I only had 6 x Jan, the rest were Aug/Sept

The one I scanned other day was either Feb or March I think but I'm not 100% as I was also checking dates of the cheeses so I might have got confused.

Never had one before either just know you have to slice it real thin as can be quite salty. I'm not really being much help here am I :rotfl:

Sorry, but you were checking the dates on cheese :eek::eek::eek:

Thank you for explaining.

Did all 22 have £10 on and some dates later in 2018?

I was just wondering if something has changed on the system today or if I had a rogue £3 one.

Thanks

No, it wasn’t known until now, unless I missed it.

Ah well, I have a few £3 ones left.

We found out from experience and some out-of-date websites that the cheapest near-the motorway petrol on the west side is Sainsburys (Preston Bamber Bridge) Tescos (Carlisle, Shirley/Solihull, Banbury). Can knock a fiver off a refuel.

Just wondered if anyone knew similar on the east side.

There is a shell station just off the A1/A690 junction at Durham, but I dont know the prices, sorry.
