The best deal is to request a new card direct having gone through TCB (£5.25), top up £10. Register for rewards. Hopefully pack has the the top up £10, get £10 bonus offer which is apparently still running (not on the packs I got this week ). Still £5.25 back on £10 spend if TCB pay out.

I have tried the Airtime app offer on SweatC0ins (offer referral is five letters, easy to guess as first part of their name if you want to try .

You need to have the 02 sim in the phone to activate the app as it picks up the SIM type automatically and sends a confirmation text. Once you fill in the details, including mobile number, you enter the code at the end, add a credit card and it adds £3 to your balance ... but you need a minimum £5 to top up your SIM :mad: and looking at their offers, you could be a while (2% on Gr0upon as an example!). This won't solve it for us . Worth a try though . It does say £5 minimum for 02 which suggests there may be other ways to top up only £5 (as most sites/payment screens show £10 minimum for 02)?

That's a shame Anon thanks for trying, do you think the sweatcoins thing would work twice on the same sim?

oops to be clearer. like for like. for an outside cabin.

not inside on one outside on the other.

19 dayer outside select is currently £110 each per night. but i will get free parking worth about £120 + £90 each + £25 each spending money. + £90 quidco or £120 topcash if i join.
all in all the select price only works out at about £50 more than saver if you take all the guaranteed savigs into account. plus we will get our cabin choice and port buses. and not least a table for 2 at dinner.


edit i may pay for the parking and get an extra £85 each spending money.

2nd edit so at the moment select v saver for an outside works out at £50 each more.
so may get the saver after all.

02 test update ... SIM ordered Tuesday (went through TCB), it arrived yesterday. Topped up £11 today by phone (in case I need to get the credit off!). Registered for rewards (50p back in July?). Registered it for Priority. Sent text to 21500 for free £10 - £10 just added .

So £21 credit on the card now, hopefully £5.25 back on TCB.

The sim pack did not mention the free £10 offer - info online said you have to top up within 28 days of receiving the SIM first then text the code (search 02 free £10) for the offer .

Farmfoods' 2L milk gone up to 2 for £1.60:(. Thus making A's 6 pint milk now cheaper but only if you have a colleague discount card or when bought on a comparison shop with at least 7 additional wasteful spending yet more money items that I don't currently have:mad: and only if the 10% isn't lost by another item on the shop:(, otherwise at straight £1.48 it's more expensive than Farmfoods' increased price!

Yet again it's about getting us to spend more money and buy more in order to "save":(:p.

The "saving" on colleague card/10% off competitor's price is about 2-4 pence per 2x2L:(, depending on which competitor's price is relevant on your shop if applicable - and seven more items are going to cost you more than 2-4 pence. So, even if you add a 10p Haribo that you weren't otherwise buying but just to get the 8 items or if you buy a 4p carrot, you have immediately lost any saving and, if it costs you more than 2-4p, as the Haribo certainly does (even if compared against T in hopeless sixes - even more more money being spent:p), you are paying more.

On best comparison, against M, A's 6 pint is just under 3p less expensive than Farmfoods 2x2L adjusted to price per 6 pint. So anything else more than 3p in your shop and the saving is gone. It seems it can only be saved on just buying the one item of milk alone when using a colleague discount - or maybe :idea: actually a competitor's milk is cheaper if their discounts are more than 10%, but then only if you work for/have a colleague card for the competitor supermarket to A. The only other circumstance I can see is if there is some A somewhere that has a really old SEL showing a lower price than the actual £1.48 and then £2 GC, or some competitor shop with DTD etc. - however I really doubt that that is going to exist.

If you have not bboked yet Zippy, this may be suitable...
P&O Cruises: Iceland, Ireland and Scotland, 30 June - 14 July 2018, 14 nights, 7 ports from £899 on Azura. (On hukd linking to P&O site, so probably get 5-10% off that price.)

5% back on Am3x for P&O if you opt in and buy online too.
