Getting FIREd up 😀

I know, it's mental! After being excited about breaking the £100k barrier in September, when I checked in on 01/03 "I'd"* added another £21k. In 6 months 😳! 

* Clearly not all my own work 🤣!

It's pretty awesome when your movement has very little to do with your own contributions!

I feel this is totally the place to ask this

If someone leaves a Sainsbury's till spit "Get xxx points with this voucher when you buy y", will I get the points if I use it, or would it go to the person whose Nectar card led to the till spit?

@edinburgher I think it says the last few digits of the Nectar card it is valid with somewhere on the till spit. Happy to be corrected.

Whilst it details the last few digits of another Nectar card I have always received the extra points when I have used one of these left by someone else

Agreed, BF and I have spent years swapping them between us 😀

And yes, definitely the place to ask it 🤣!

Yuck! Prolific seem to have increased minimum cash out to £6 - what was wrong with a fiver?

I've decided it's not so much the higher minimum I dislike, as the multiple currencies and the fact they're trying to spin it as an upgrade. It's just annoying seeing two different balances and it cashing out as two different amounts, and you then having to withdraw it as two different amounts. I've just withdrawn GBP 8.15 and USD 0.20 (estimated GBP 0.15), but when I came to take it out of PayPal, apparently there is a USD 1.00 minimum, so that's just sat in my PayPal account living its best life on its own for a bit now!

Oh, and two different cashout email confirmations, of course 🤦‍♀️

I had totally missed that! How annoying 😔

That is going to be a real pain for me - my accounting software denominates Prolific in £ and can only deal with one currency per customer… and if it’s paying out into PayPal in two then it’s going to create a mess as I have other customers who pay in $. Am going to have to consider my options there…
