    I struggle to do 10, I was trying to think of a way to get a second account.
    I have a card waiting to be validated (bank insisted on sending me Tel banking number so they could ID me).. so I have the phone I bought from Argoos sat with an un-validated AP account on it.

    Thinking, should I validate or not.

    The atm thing is going to be near impossible - only one machine near me then having to go to town centre every day, then there's always bank trouts hanging about, too stressy, and unable to go at night time.

    Tesco, I haven't even looked into that there's no T here and would have to travel out of town.

    Haribo - seems like dead money to me, I'd rather buy things we'll use.

    So 20 per day would be pretty impossible.

    Looks like it's not just me who has thought about a card reader.

    It’s a wonder I haven t turned orange with all the single carrots I’ve been buying lol also the odd parsnip , onion, 4 sprouts for a sprout butty for hubby lol , a couple of mushrooms although they aren t that cheap.

    Nope, so no idea how you generate a declined transaction at will....

    I was thinking of looking into one before to get through credit card/current account conditional spend offers, for example only this morning BA tried to persuade me to get an avios amex 30k miles for £3k spend in 3 months and then a free companion ticket for 10k spend in a year so if I could just pay myself using a card for say 1% it might work out worth it.

    Not getting ahead though, I think we need to figure a good way of using the M&S droid vouchers as DW failed again this morning, we think because it was a sale item with more than 30% off but then how does one do 30+ good value transactions at M&S for 3/5 quid each?

    I don’t think any sale item works never mind the 30% off . It didn’t for me as writing on the screen came up saying not to be used on sale items. So I don’t know.

    I think we should all be happy and thankful for whatever we win and just buy an item of food with the £3 or £5 as it’s free anyway.

    The T&Cs do clearly state that any refunds will take the discount into account, which sort of suggests you return a £4 item on a receipt where you used a £3 voucher and you will get £1 back.

    I think it safe to say that we need to be grateful we have won any and start to think of ways of using them legitimately rather than (further ways) around the system :A.

    Yes I agree and said so further on . Just reading back now.
