    Sorry. 
    The name of the PPC Is Close Unit Protection. 
    So search the forum for other recent threads about this outfit. They don't figure here that often, but I think there was a relatively recent thread which might give you some ideas if the poster in that one is a stage or two ahead of you. Use 'CUP & Enforcement' as your search term. The ampersand (&) makes the search engine, which we are still struggling with even after 12 months of the new forum format, just a bit more accurate - as I find it!

    It just seems to work better for me, I don't know if it's the correct method, but I do seem to hit the target more often. It's still nowhere near as good as last year, but I guess we are all trying to find work-around to get what we want when we want it. 

    I really don't know if there is one, but MSE could do worse than put on some info-tutorial on how to do anything more than basic text usage. 

    The Quote function too is pants!

    I tried searching using quotes on here and it never works!  I didn't think about trying ampersand when searching here.  Worth knowing.

    FWIIW, I have always struggled with the search facility on here.

    Haha, I thank them all, pretty much, having been on the competitions and vouchers sub-boards in my early MSE days, where everyone thanks everyone!

    When I first started on the forum, whenever I got a 'thanks' from @Coupon-mad it used to give me a boost and some confidence that I was on the right lines.   But now if I don't get a 'thanks' from CM, that is much more telling, that I've either messed up with my advice, or she doesn't agree with me! 🤦‍♂️😊

    When I see posters with astronomical numbers of thanks I look them up, many appear to be recipe swapping type posters,  not this one though.
