    Sadly nothing in the water.

    I have decided I'll have a drink on Saturday night as a treat. Plus I have 2 opened bottles of Taste the Difference from New Years eve that i can't throw away.

    I used a £3 M&S today, for a box of Belgian choc biscuits reduced from £6 to £3, with no problem at all. Just showed SA the details on my phone.

    Goodnight again.

    Have used M&S gift cards on the last Dine in for £10 offer which was an effective 75% discount on individual prices. Cash paid = NIL.

    Good evening elite

    Having hell on earth with AP, trying to use the marky with sparky ones is proving impossible, so two questions:

    Can you use them on reduced items? As the whole of my basket was RTC food, I tried breaking it to two transactions, but the manager said it wasn’t working because it’s cast as sale iitems.

    Can you use them all at once?

    Please any advice????
    I haven't done this but someone said they need to be treated as coupons not gift cards?
    I think....

    Ok so 3 4 2 £3 each , in t 2 4 £5 buy 6, 18 v10 = £8 diff, so 10-8 = 2 -10% = 1.80?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    3 for £6
    6 for £12 v 6 for £15
    If 3 4 2 not picked up £18 v 15. - 10% of the competitor price £1.50
    £12 -£4.50 =£7.50
    £7.50 divided by 6 = £1.25
