Am I correct in thinking that if I top up my Iceland bonus card and get the extra £1 for every £20 I add, I can then spend it on a Tuesday and get my extra 10% over 60s' discount as well?  Seems like a win win if that's correct.

    Pmd the team to move to an actual board on Monday as it’s currently not been posted on one

    Thought I'd posted it on the Shopping board. The question has been answered now anyway. Thanks

    If you have a little used Paypal account check to see if you have been offered the spend £10 get £5 off voucher.  You can top up your Iceland card with Paypal so topped up £20 and only paid £15.  £21 on the card for £15 cost to spend tomorrow at 10% discount :)
