Santander Amazon opening offer x2

MABLE

Well made headway yesterday with my 30 purchases. I went into Tesco and purchased 14 single carrots and each had attached to them their own barcode with price.  Went to the self service tills and just put them through as separate transactions.  Also 2 purchases from B and M. 

Only 14 to go and still have 5 weeks left.

Why not just do normal shopping or small shops like coffees / lunch breaks etc buying 14 individual carrots is taking the p

Possibly but we had a great carrot soup last night so nothing was waisted.  I prefer to think i was being inventive rather than taking the P.

Well done Mable, I had to smile visualising these 14 carrots all with there own bar codes. I always feel a bit uncomfortable doing stuff like this. What I hate at Tesco’s is every time I put a single item through the scanner it shouts out, ‘Tesco card excepted’ when this happens twenty times I glance over my shoulder thinking I’m being looked at. What we do to make a few bob.

I for one can't afford to buy coffees or get lunch out every day. That is the opposite of moneysaving for me. I take a packed lunch to work and pack drinks or refill water. 14 carrots would make enough soup for a few days 😁

Going to be 30 x 50p debit card payments to Octopus (via app) for me. Challenge complete 15 mins later

Apologies this may have already been answered. Do these "count" as I've seen other posts that some online payments are classed differently by the bank? I'm happy to antagonise everybody in my local Tesco going the carrot route, but if Octopus payments do indeed count I'd much prefer this.

To date no one has been paid out yet so no one really knows what works and what does not. Like others, I have gone down the road of making debit card payments to other savings accounts and the like for other bonuses with other banks and it's worked but no one can say 100% it will work with Santander.
