    My wife and I are going out for dinner this evening and I found that the restaurant is within the FIZZ scheme so I purchased my second voucher which amounts to a saving of £2.25.

    Added to the FIZZ saving on groceries (£1) that brings me to £3.25 :)

    I am starting slowly with the FIZZ Benefits as I want to be sure it all works and also that I do not suffer cash advance fees on the credit card.

    I'll have a look at FIZZ @Grumpy_chap - at the moment I use everup for my grocery vouchers - you get cash back plus 'virtual coins' which you can then use to win other prizes.

    A sale on FB Marketplace for £10.00

    @Tattypud

    Do let me know how you get on with FIZZ.

    I only signed up as I received a link via my pension. I am not sure whether everyone can join or have to be linked into the scheme. It might be similar to Reward Gateway for sign up?

    You might want to look at the everup app. Restaurant discount vouchers are available giving between 8-12% cashback. I've had no problems using my Lloyds Ultra credit card (gives 1% cashbook too) buying from everup. Good discounts on supermarket spends too.
