    Morning all :hello:
    Just telling my sis about android pay as I think she has a samsng phone. So you need to add a visa card. And can use up to 10 times a day. Even for small purchases e.g. one banana.
    Is that all right. Dont want to get it wrong or else wont hear the end of it :eek:

    Correct. 10p filler sweets work just fine. :D

    And my 10 droids today = £3 Gregg's, £3 M&S and a coke.

    Did anyone else take up the Amazon windfall offer on VC?

    Was I the only one who did not see anywhere that you had to upload the receipt within 6 hours? :mad:.

    There was no mention of this in the activation email - it said to keep your receipt safe.

    I am very annoyed with them and with myself for falling for it - it was an online purchase, from an online site - why would I need to upload a receipt? The items haven’t even arrived yet to take a photo of the receipt, which is what the instruction said - if it said a screenshot or photo of the order it would have been clearer, together with an instruction to upload the order immediately..

    Rant over.

    I uploaded the receipt on the amazon site. They acknowledged they had received the receipt. And er yes it was obvious you had to upload a receipt. Sorry. Think it said it just after one registered the offer. Cant remember, but I know it was obvious and was surprised as dont normally have to do that.
    Perhaps try uploading the receipt from the amazon site and see what happens.

    Thanks Enterprise Will do both Lappie not even a year Got last Christmas as the other one was old

    Really WANT but do not need a newer phone something to investigate once I have tied up finances for the year but I still doubt I can justify it mentally If its note broke etc ........
    I have dropped my phone (no case) about 100 times onto concrete without it breaking but finally I did it again a few weeks ago and managed a tiny crack on one corenr of the screen thus meaning I could claim on the Nationwide insurance. They have only offered me 100 quid...but then when I was digging through the paperwork I found that it was 5 years old and after cashback by redemption had cost £68 including 2 years of airtime. Sadly such seals are no longer available for top of the range android handsets so the replacement will be sub100 chinese special from bang good or similar.
    I think....
