@edinburger - that's a clever way to top up your required spend - does your card allow multiple same day purchases?  My MrS card (now NW) stops working on the big river site after 3 uses in 24 hours! OH's spanish bank card won't let him on the big river site more than twice in 24 hours!

I'm 11? Transactions in, seems to be ok 😅

I'm utterly amazed! - Perhaps it is related to the amount spent - if not individually, then collectively???

Similarly, when I went out for the first time in nine months (during the pandemic) to shop at a local market, I went to the baker (Bury St E), the fishmonger (Lowestoft), the greengrocer (Romford) and the butcher (Ipswich) within about 25 minutes, having to enter the number manually in the butcher's. I was just thrilled to be out. I tried to buy a coffee (!) and in the end paid cash and then went into the EoE Coop. My card had stopped working completely and I had to use the other one. By the time I got home, they (the bank security team) had rung home and my husband cheerfully told them I had gone out to the local market, not having been out for months. Someone there realised what had happened and sorted it out. From memory it was Good Friday morning. I believe he suggested I would not be happy if they had cancelled my card and the woman who had rung agreed she would not have been either. I was impressed by their diligence

Just realised there's a really specific order to the Spanish bank offer and I've done it wrong 🤦🏻‍♂️ Started again, please message me if you decide to do it and I'll explain
