    Regarding the discussion regarding Q bonuses,seeing as they are now coming thick and fast and there is actually quite a bit of money tied up in these bonuses
    So I've made an excel chart to sit on the desktop.
    On the headers line - all of the information so we can chase up delayed bonus

    account email address
    bonus
    date
    total spend
    store
    purchase ID number
    date due
    status

    I found 2 bonuses that were activated on one account but
    were not even showing so I emailed them.
    Also the Holland & Brratt purchase online order made in August is looking worrying - 6 months before it gets to the payable stage! I've also emailed Q about this one but it might be a place to avoid making orders from in future unless you have reward money to use up.

    I think I might tuck the nectar offer at the bottom of the chart as well now there are 4 bonuses 2 train trips, Sainsbury local 200 points and I cant remember what the fourth one is ....

    Otherwise quite a productive day - got the 3 boxes of Truffle for TCB from Aldi and then took 2 bags to the charity shop, got three more boxes for Christmas shoe boxes from Clarks (I cant fathom how I've been collecting boxes all year but I still only had 7 and not really enough ...)
    Then to the library and finished up with very welcome hot chocolate in Neros - 2 of my stamping cards were only short one space each to those are now completed :T

    I also checked my Mr T clubcard accounts - thank you to the OP from this morning. Both accounts have a miserable ten pounds in points, no idea what to do with them but there is still a year until the oldest expires.
    But OHs account had printable MOCS - nine of them and all points vouchers - its literally years since either of us have had mailing MOCs from Mr T. I've printed them off and they are valid until December - 25 points for various basic items and also kettle chips which pop up on GJ occasionally - just need a suitable conditional spend now for a £20 shop and then I can use them all up.

    Also looked at my epoints account - it will take years now to accumulate additional points so I've cashed in what I've got for a £15 starbucks voucher. I assume its a physical gift card but when it does arrive I will investigate zeek - a Neros gift card would be have been much more useful.

    Just sat looking at 2 bills on the desk ready to be tackled - road tax and coal bill ...:mad:

    A couple of reports on HUKD to say it's full price and not glitching.
