Hi everyone.
Long time no post, sorry.:o
RL been really busy, and a severe loss of mojo afflicted me. I've been skimming on and off, but have done very little in the way of shopping.
Wine stocks are getting low since DH has decided he really likes red wine now :eek: so I've been looking at the shops kindly posted by you lovely people and listed by elainemn, thank you elainemn for your hard work.
I couldn't find an end date for the deal anywhere, so made a phone call to A. Apparently it finishes on 12th April, but signs will be gone by 9th. Hth.

My little siamese lady crossed the rainbow bridge a little while ago. It was a very traumatic 'put to sleep' situation as the vet didn't seem very competent. I've never had that scenario before, it was always very quick, not so for her. I could cry now just posting about it. I still have my big, black mog, who seems to have really thrived now she is the only one. She's become very cuddly and vocal.

It will soon be time for our annual jaunt to the sun. :j I'm so looking forward to some sun after the miserable, seemingly never ending winter we've had. Before that I need to sort out my garden and prepare it for planting up. So many tubs and baskets to do, but the end result is worth it.

Hope you are all well and happy, virtual hugs to those not.

Naebbirac welcome home :hello:

If I get a £50 argos gf but they only charging me £48.50 because of the 3% zeek discount. Will I still get the £5 credit. Or do you actually have to spend £50 iif you see what I mean.

My interpretation of the T&Cs is that it's £5 credit for every £50 actually spent - which is a nuisance taking your example because I believe you will be £1.50 short. What's not so clear in my mind is whether postage (where applicable) is included in the 'spend' total required. The T&Cs are silent on that.

Don't forget TCB for £1 normal cashback (or £6 for new Zeek customers) and £2.50 bonus this weekend

Yeah gocat I can see what you mean in the case of Argos, because Zeek only have £50 and £25 gift cards which after discount would mean you would have to buy a minimum gift card total of £75 to qualify for the £5 credit. I suppose other gift cards might work out differently, though I've not checked. Argos is quite a good one at the moment though with their own free £5 voucher on £50+ spend too

Just got this email from Zeek. Do they know I was looking at Argos cards

Get an extra £2 saving on top of the regular discounted price when you spend £30 on Argos or H&M gift cards - limited time offer.

:hello:Hi all

Just popping on to say the Malbec not in 342 in my store now either. Last time it was on the 342 plinth but not now. (Incidentally my successful shop a few days ago was about 9.30 am)

The other one that I wanted, the Barefoot Rose Pinot Grigio has also been taken out of the offer:( (I had them both checked)

Other results tomorrow. Messed up my plans a bit though:cool:

ChelseaFred:)

Thanks. Could you check/post your receipt that the offer actually came off. tia
