    We use FairFX for Euros and American dollars you get next day delivery if you buy before midday. Never had any problem with them. I see that they aren't as high a rate as some on Martins comparison thingy thoug xx

    Thanks AJ. Someone else has recommended them to me too. :)

    Bubbs my dad had huge problems with the pricking tests - it took him a while to work out that it worked better if he used the side of his finger at the top instead of the pad bit - I don't know which part you're trying from but it might be useful x

    I understood that bit, 10 returns £85 on the APG - 2 would give you £170 losing £70 as APG is capped at £100 ... unless of course you have ordered 1 to cash in this month and 1 for May, in which case be careful when spending the vouchers that you don't do too many shops and lose the "May" shop. Also be careful they don't link your accounts, which I believe some people have experienced on here.

    Yes this is true on each account I've been doing one for current month, claim e voucher then use that purchase next month's, certainly since the increase to £9.50 I've over 20 accounts so not had any problems with losing vouchers or merging of accounts ( 6 different cards ) Christ knows how they've not Cottened on. Thanks to the elite the food banks are full around here.
