    You might have to message them to get to the bottom of why you are being ignored on your birthday ...
    Thanks I have just done that. I rarely give out my number in case I get spammed.

    I just treat it as a hobby.
    I'm new to it really and only joined shopprise as it lowered it's rewards points.

    In the olden days there was couponing - it used to take forever to source the coupons - from leaflets, mags, newspapers, writing to companies etc and they then needed cutting out and arranging and keeping them in date order so you had one of each type ready for taking to Mr T and you had to spread yourself about, visiting different stores, finding your favourite till persons when possible so your face wasn't too known.
    That stopped overnight so then we have had to adapt.
    Now instead we chase glitches and look for yellow labels, we use cashback websites and apps, try me frees, survey websites, receipt snapping websites, we test products for companies and sometimes there are a few coupons as well ..

    I'm tempted to top up the wine but decided that I'm happy to wait for Lidl £2.99 offers to stock up as/when needed. Their cava is still my favourite when it's £3.49 of course.
