    If you're not one of these 'has to spend' folk, then consider stoozing. With current interest rates you get better returns than cashback. Also might want to look at the Halifax reward account between you & wife it's an easy £30 a month from cash recycling.
    Certainly not a 'has to spend' so I'll look at stoozing. Thank you.

    How do you make the £30? All I can see is a £5 reward with Halifax

    The Halifax trick is their reward accounts. You're allowed 3 each, then need to pay in £1500 & pay out by debit card £500. They allow internal transfers to count for the £1,500. And the debit card payments you can just pay money into a savings account thar accepts debit card payments (YBS for example) or just use cards for payments where you can't use credit cards, ie paying off credit card
  • I've looked around and considered an Amex reward card for the shopping etc but Tesco (online) don't accept Amex...
    Yes, they do, according to their website.
    All the usual UK supermarkets accept Amex. Only place my card has bounced recently is Home Bargains.
