1 - why didn't you stop once you had the 3 month 5% finished and thus about 24k points, close the gold and start with another new customer card 5% offer and also be able to be a new customer for the gold again sooner.

2 - surely the cash out is to your nectar account where they can then be doubled up to be worth £470 - not too late, takes about 3 days to transfer them out to nectar

I am now a little worried about you Anon....

Valid points - I planned to recommend Mrs Anon then switch at 6 months and keep flipping, but got busy . I like your idea of switching spend after 3 months, I will investigate more, thank you. I need to investigate other cards in the stable - we already both have N3ctar, but could close one of those (after Shop M ) then return in 6 months too for another bonus by flipping.

I had not spotted N3ctar was an option ... so thank you so much for highlighting this option :beer:, I have gone with that .

I have £1k of double up vouchers to spend next week (so far ... - four lots from the same store with the same card) so now need to think about what I will get - I should really have thought about that before cashing out :eek:. We could potentially get another £800 ish too ... more if theAm3x come through before the end of next week . As they will apparently pro rata the annual fee, I may keep it running for a month to hit Shop Sm then close (though we have six other cards to use and if 1stop are not included again this year then I am not that bothered ).

Many thanks

3 weeks is seriously impressive, I guess the show is not quite as high profile as a couple of seasons ago when Nadia was all over our screens.

I am wasting money not switching broadband providers, I am just wondering if fiddling with affiliate links will let me get QC plus the cheaper monthly rate BT offer and higher value gift card and then of course pay 12 months up front to save another 12 quid and then hope for a get out of jail (contract) free price rise once the gift cards and cashback have been banked….

Alternative option is to see if a new switch to 1 month notice SSE from my name into DWs name would trigger the £150 new customer QC.

When I was looking for a back up, there is a TalkT offer on hukd - friends and family £19.95 for 18 months but you can (with a little effort on the url ) get Q Cashback too. This probably wouldn't meet your requirements though as they guarantee the price won't change during your contract.

Awww bless him. Although no point replying to him at the moment michaels, I think his internet has just been cut of and the children are rebelling!

Well I am VERY please with myself, (did not want to mention this earlier) I have just managed to avoid who won bake off for about 3 weeks and managed to watch the final on catchup without knowing the winner, makes it so much better. I fell behind when I went on my hols.

No, my battery was flat . Internet saved with one day to spare .

I ventured in last night but unfortunately my nearest stores had no stock . I will no doubt be going again .

Has anyone else noticed that A has rarely been mentioned in the past few weeks? Not even a normal deal to go for. . Sad times.

Anon

I don't even like going into A now:o I have giftcards to spend and once I work my way through them I probably won't visit very often at all. It seems a bit rude really considering how kind they have been to me.

However I have bumped into elaine twice......both times in T:rotfl:

OH managed to order the perfume glitch from late last night over on dark side whilst I was asleep. He placed quite a large order of various men's and women's fragrances for around £20 C&C. He got an email this morning to say it's ready to collect. :eek:

Got up, drove to the shop ready for doors to open. Went in, sa apologised and said that only two third of my items were in stock and that she had to arrange a refund for the rest. At this point another sa gets a phone call and looks rather worried whilst I'm being handed over perfumes. My sa then goes over to her till to arrange partial refund of around £6 but at this point other sa put phone down and started walking across to me. I said to my sa 'sorry need to dash' and legged it out the store. :rotfl:

On the plus side - birthday and christmas present sorted for the next couple of years for a large proportion of the family. :T

Oh my goodness:T:T:T

What a lucky lady you are. Mr TM won't even go through the tills with me if I'm even using one coupon:o I send him off to Costa now:rotfl:

Anyone want a nice recipe for the Marksies chickens.....the 3 for £10 ones?

Made this last night and it was lush. I took a photo but it looks disgusting:rotfl:
I had all the ingredients in too which was a bonus:)
