Simply take to customer services and have them add the points to your card, I can honestly say I have acquired literally thousands of pounds worth of points wombling for receipts.
Ben - do you just take a bunch of receipts to customer services? Do they ever say anything to you? I think I'll start wombling outside Tesco!!0 -

My daughter found £5 in various coins in one place, I still wonder how that could have happened. I would be nervous of taking home a hanky or any items for the hair, eg. clips, scrunchies etc. due to infections or lice or something of that order.Penny xxx

Just wondered if anyone else goes to drop stuff off at their local skip and comes home with more stuff:o. And do you feel embarrassed asking if you can take it? (at our recycling centre you have to ask and I'm sure they think I'm a right skip-rat!!).AMAZON SELLERS CLUB MEMBER 0082 :hello:0

Same question - don't they say something about the card numbers being different. Do you just say 'can I have these points added please'.
Too easy - it'll go wrong for me and I'll be walked off the premises.0 -
