I think you can just do a credit card, so it only sees what you spend? It wasn't very clear on how you earn the points though - just that it gives you better offers based on where you spend, I think?Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Right, I had a glass of rosé last night and no whirring mind 👍 (although maybe I've just generally got less on my mind 🤔?) Will continue with the experiment!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

I linked Quidco to my card. Never had a problem with it, it just collects data about what I spend.3

Whirring mind in the early hours and waking for no reason is one of the things that made me give up drinking sc, sorry to say but since being teetotal it’s completely gone now, sorry if that’s not what you want to hear 😂MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁3

I'm loving reading everyone's reviews of 2021 and plans for next year 😀 I'm itching to get mine posted (is it sad to admit I've already got it drafted 🤔🤣???), but holding off until the launch of my new diary after Christmas....
Will have to continue to live vicariously through everyone else in the meantime, with the risk that I might appear to have pinched all my ideas by the time I post them 🤣! Keep them coming, I'm enjoying them 😀!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
