    On Arg0s it says PAYG phones have to be bought with a £10 top up, but there doesn’t seem to be anything forcing you to when you order for fast track collection?

    Has anyone bought from there and walked away with the phone without a top up?

    None of the iPhones I bought I have got top up cards but then they were not locked to any particular network. Is that the same? All reserved for collection in store not fast track so didn't pay until there.

    Good afternoon Elite :hello:

    Got home yesterday but after overdoing things as per, I’m spending today in bed :o. My joints are hot and swollen and I dare not mention my feet, cant even get my slippers on today :eek:

    Looks like there’s too much to catch up on but I might just flick back through the pages tonight, just to make sure you’ve all been behaving yourselves :cool:

    Hope everyone happy and well, cupboards still full? Strange but I’ve missed you guys :)

    Hugs to all the Elite poorly, special thoughts and hugs to those low in spirit and mind. You’re always in my thoughts xx

    Plenty of rest young lady .....we will never learn not to over do it ...
    I am guilty of the same crime ....and sad to say a repeat offender

    Yes, it is right of the key pad. If they have security cameras they will have seen me scanning the ATM all round until my phone beeped :o. I also did the same at other ATMs too - though in fairness it did say contactless in. Screen so I knew it was there somewhere!

    It is not exactly obvious as no label on my nearest San - I tried scanning the keypad, the card slot ... I was expecting getting a tap on my shoulder from the police for suspicious behaviour :D.

    My suspicious behaviour at Bclys till today netted me a coke, £3 M&S, 3 X £3 Gregg's, 2 x £10 Dine out and a £20 meal voucher (over 2 phones). I decided to use this rather than the STDr as one of my cards is Stdr and their ATM message asks me to use card whereas Bclys says cannot read card. I didn't want to flag my account with Stdr so hoping the fact this ATM says they cannot read the card won't flag my account anywhere.
