Am I right in thinking once saved to Paypal, we have until 24 Nov to use it?

HOW TO REDEEM A CREDIT
6. An Eligible Customer can redeem a Credit at a participating Esso branded service station in England, Wales or Scotland when using the Esso GB smartphone app (featuring the Esso fuel app service), when spending £10 or more on Esso branded fuels and completing the purchase using their PayPal account, which they must have associated with the Esso smartphone app.
7. Credits will be valid until the end of the Promotional Period, or until 16,000 £5 Credits have been downloaded by Eligible Customers. Eligible Customers can redeem a maximum of one £5 Credit as part of the Promotion.

That's how I read it, 24th November.

Do any elite know any recent/soon to be grads/MAs/PhDs who are looking for an analytical grad job. Ideally numerate to the extent of having an A at a level maths, as the company I work for is trying to recruit.

Anywhere near Lancaster?

Thanks. I don't know if this is correct, but this Esso thing may only be 2 PP ac's per Esso account.
I've used my app twice (separate PP's), but I then went to change the PP, and got an error saying something like "Cannot do this try later".
Tried the same on a different handset, but got the same message, so went back to main phone and made another Esso acc, added next PP, and it seems to have set up fine.

Morning Savvy, I agree too - save the special box for Christmas, like DM I see boxed biscuits as a different item to everyday packet biscuits.

The only thing was they'd be (technically) OOD by Christmas so the special-ism of them goes. No longer special, just OOD biscuits:p. However I've made the point myself - precisely why I have underlined and italicised the word "technically" as I am looking at it way too technical. Biscuits are biscuits for me:doh: although I would have seen them as a "different item" for price promise scheme purposes in the past. Then I would be seeing technical differences in lots of things, far beyond what anyone else would when others see items as being the same!

The packets are managing to last - though they certainly would not if I left them outside the cupboard and put them in sight. Somehow the box is managing to be left untouched even though it is left out though - looks like it is too much hard work for my family member to open them:T. I've felt like opening one of the packets of choc digestives today but so far managed to resist. I will open one of the four packets later, that have been timed and worked out so that they should last one a month until their BB (I know they would last longer). The box will remain for Christmas.

What you ought to do sometimes is save the box after use and then fill it with biscuits from packets later. No-one will notice the difference because there is none. Biscuits are biscuits. There you are - biscuits from the packets - now biscuits in the box, exactly the same as buying them as a box!

I'll have my special packet of chocolate digestives on some other day soon and leave the ordinary box until Christmas:rotfl:.
