    Does anyone know - with Amex Gold membership points, is the exchange rate different for buying Amazon giftcards rather than account top up? I have 47k of points, which I would think is £235 top up but the Amazon site is only showing £212?

    I need to cash out and cancel before renewal tomorrow :eek:.

    Many thanks

    After a further three mammograms plus an ultrasound this morning, the verdict was that I have a tiny (3mm) cyst. No further investigation required. Relief doesn't even begin to describe it. It's been a long two weeks but I'm so grateful that the NHS was able to identify and investigate something so tiny.
    Thank you all for your kind thoughts and good wishes xx
    Such good news, you can now breathe and live.

    Does everyone know that Aussie shampoos etc are on offer in Morrison's for £2 or in Superdrug for £2.07 - it was mentioned on the dark side last night

    I expect though that everyone has enough shampoo to wash the hair of a small village for a lifetime :D

    So I went into Superdrug today for a Aussie shampoo for coloured hair and presented it at the till alongside my blue NUS card which took 21p off.

    I also had the SSM printed off £1.50 coupon for any Aussie :j

    Final bill was 36p :T

    Be interested to hear what you come up with.

    As well as the post vouchers for 2 off 10 we am have some 2 off 10 till spits. Does anyone know if these can be used together and if so what the pre discounts spend needs to be? Ta

    If you get a till spit for £2 wys £10 it works on this combination

    weekend newspaper - Times or Telegraph we usually get
    latte worth £2.20 or suchlike
    2 magazine worth £4,
    plus between £2 and £4 of shopping depending on the npaper - if its Saturday or Sunday :)

    I still struggle to find things for £2 - usually its a cashback item :)


    The daily telegraph is £1.80/times £1.60,
    2 magazine worth £4
    coffee £2.10,


    That's £7.70/90...only £2.30 to "spend"


    then pick up a staple for £2.30, milk, fruit, porridge etc
    only 30p to pay :)
