    While I would never eat anything out of Greggs, I may use this to try one of their hot chocolates. Otherwise it will find a good home. These don't expire until September 2027.

    Looks like it. First Direct has been hinting at a perks hub for a while, so this is probably the rollout. Discounts on cinema tickets and meals sound like the usual starter offers. Worth keeping an eye on the app or inbox to see when they open sign ups.

    They've changed the offer so that you now have a week to redeem it, though they've forgotten to update the T&Cs. I guess take up must be slow and they need to rid themselves of 7,000 of these books.

    Today's goody  - entry into "first direct bank arena gig prize draw" (their lack of Caps) tickets for the Strictly Live show.

    Even if you're not interested in Strictly, this prize comes with £250, paid at least a week prior to the event.

    This requires "confirmation of attendance", not sure how you prove you attended something a week before the event. Maybe an email to them to confirm you're attending? 🤔

    You can always give the tickets, drinks vouchers and merch vouchers to a Strictly fan. Keep the £250 for yourself.

    Has anyone tried the Christmas movie from Rakuten?  Just wondering if it is strictly limited to a selection of Christmas movies or can be used on anything up to the value of £6.
