  • I'm not doing the train thing. I swore I would never buy anything or spend money just to get points, and I never have.

    I shall definitely have to check before I next go on the train though, as great western is our local line.

    i used to pre book games at tesco just for the points. by the time they trebled them for p&o cruises. i got a very cheap cruise. i did do the visa card paypal trick at the same time.

    Could anyone tell me what a non-profit policy is please? Apparently I have one that I knew nothing about!

    Google hasn't been terribly helpful :o

    Do you mean a non-profit whole-of-life policy? Pays out a predetermined fixed sum on death, as opposed to a with-profit policy, where there is an investment element?

    I've got no idea. I had a letter telling me it was being transferred but it's not something that I've been paying into and the letter was sent to a different address. I'll call tomorrow but it's bugging me :rotfl: the letter just tells me it's a non-profit policy
