Thanks very much @fishfingersandchipsagain and @Justhereforthechristmasthreads Inwill look into that!

fishfingersandchipsagain · 03/12/2023 09:43

@Houseofsardines depending on your budget. this Cartwright and Butler hamper is lovely. The “thinking of you” sleeve can be removed to leave plain packaging, although I think would also be fine as is.

Code JOYLNER20 takes a further 20% off a checkout making it £23 for £35 worth of goodies. There are also loaf cakes reduced from £14 to £7 (and then code would take down to £5.60).

If you look specifically in the SALE section because they only accept one code at checkout so won’t stack.

They can deliver to multiple addresses too, so no postage concerns (from what I remember). I think you could get something very nice delivered for anything from £23 upwards.

I might have had a bargain fail yesterday.

i did an Asda click and collect via Quidco for the £10 bonus cashback. And I bought a bunch of “star products”.

The cashback and bonus hasn’t tracked yet, and I don’t quite understand how the star products shop links to my Asda rewards app. I have only ever used the rewards app instore. This is my first Asda click and collect.

I presume I can put in a claim for Quidco, but does anyone know … if the shop hasn’t properly linked to my Asda reward thingy can I get them to add it afterwards in store? TBH if I don’t get the Star Product cashback I probably won’t pick up the order as it would be cheaper in Sainsburys.

NoWordForFluffy · 03/12/2023 10:45

As long as you're using the same log in details for the Rewards and the shopping account, they should be linked. Has your shopping been picked yet? The rewards will show once you've paid for the shop when it's picked.

Has the Quidco bonus not changed to pending?

Ah, that’s fine then. Yes the logins are the same.

No Quidco isn’t showing pending. I shopped with both Asda and M&S for the bonus cashback and neither tracked, although I have screenshots of both and will raise a claim.

SplendidPendips · 03/12/2023 10:59

I find Quidco painful for tracking and paying....

I found asda rewards are very helpful on the phone. I had a bonus that didn't get added on, they couldn't have been more helpful. He apologised profusely that I had to ring and put them on straight away.

Can anyone help please. I have one last person to tick off before I'm done. He's 23 my cousins son. Budget £10-£15. He doesn't really drink. Likes computer games on the PC and loves cars, he has some sort of fast cool car

Anyone else getting spammed by Fahlo? "Give the gift of Fahlo" when my order is still sitting there as unfulfilled!

Does anyone know if there is a way to get a discount at Next please?

It's rare to get one. Sometimes they send £10 off £25 codes to current customers. Other than that, it's using the clearance section.

FlourishandBlotts · 03/12/2023 12:06

Does anyone have a papier referral?

sorryiasked · 03/12/2023 12:14

If anyone has an argos code for £70 spend I'd really appreciate it.

(I only get lakeland ones which I shared a couple of days ago)

I think they had a £5 off if you downloaded and used their app for the first time recently but don’t know if that’s still on.
