    Me too, came on here really pleased with myself with 1 x 2000, 1 x 1000, 2 x 500 + 1 x 200!

    First time round had a really jolly attendant in the filling station, wishing me luck, that's when I got 200. I said it's ok i'll be back in a minute, went in to pay he said 'you've just missed it, that chap just got 5000' :mad:

    Still I'm happy with what I got and I struggle to spend points at Sainsbugs, even in the double up.


    I got 3 x 1000, 5 x 500 + 2 x 200! happy with that, 6 x £10 diesel without moving the car,
    thanks to Anon I think who said you can do 2 x £10 on the same fill up, done x 3 went to the store done 2 x £1o shops incl 3 x kellogs granola (so £6 cashback to come) and then another visit to the petrol station for another 2 x £10 on the same fill up :)


    happy days, we go again tomoro :)

    Well I did 8 this evening , 3 petrol x£10, 1 shop just over £10 and 4 gift card ones . Unfortunately they never had any £10 Argos cards unless they have them at another store so I bought 2 x £10 Debenham ones, 1 x£15 Arcadia one and one x15 Primark one.

    My haul was 1 x 5000 points :D, 1 x 1000 points , 4 x 500 points and 2 x 200 points so not bad at all.:D

    My Debenhams £10 cards didnt give extra points. They do however show the amount of points where I asked the sa to add the bonus points from the previous shop. So I don't know :cool:

    Jammy.

    I managed 2 x 200, 5 x 500, 2 x 2000.
    I turned up at the petrol station but it was closed for a fuel delivery, so I had to go to another store.

    Annoyed that my size boots had gone....

    I had a coupon for 600 nectar points if I spent £15 on laundry.
    So bought 2 Ariel at 3.50 and a Bold at £4.50, a Fairy liquid at £1, a Lenor for £2 and a cheap washing up liquid for just over £15. I handed over £7.25 in coupons from SSM which were taken no problem. Got my 600 nectar points which I can double up to the value of £6 and got a tillspit for 200.

    So an almost carbon neutral shop:rotfl:
