The folks at Incahoot.com are looking for 100 UK based Mumsnetters to try out their new Incahoot PLUS money saving scheme for one month and to give their feedback on MN. Here's what Incahoot say about the new service: "Here at Incahoot we have listened to what our members want and have launched Incahoot PLUS. This scheme gives you access to a fantastic range of offers which will save you money (up to £1000 a year!) on everyday shopping like Supermarkets, Clothes, Travel, Electricals and Entertainment".

Incahoot want 100 UK Mumsnetters to try the service for one month and leave feedback on their experiences twice during the course of the month. Each tester will be given a year's membership to Incahoot PLUS (worth £29.99) and will be able to keep this membership for the rest of the year once the month's trial is over. At the end of the year testers will be contacted by Incahoot to see if they wish to resubscribe - this will not happen automatically.

Once you are registered with Incahoot you will need to use your credit/debit card to top up the reloadable card and to receive the cashback in your account. These bank details are held on a third party's secure platform and Incahoot will not have access to them.

If you would like to take part please sign up here.
We will email those selected with the sign up details and a link to the feedback thread.

All those who are selected and add their feedback twice during the month's trial will be entered into a prize draw where one winner will receive a £250 Amazon voucher.

Please note, you may receive monthly newsletters from Incahoot as result of signing up, but you can unsubscribe from these emails at any time.

Thanks and good luck with the prize draw!

Hi all,

We've just received this response from Incahoot:

"Incahoot PLUS uses the power of group buying to give you access to exclusive online and offline discounts which can be used nationwide.
The discounts come in the form of cashback, money off gift vouchers and online voucher codes, to name a few.

For example if you buy your weekly shop and petrol at Sainsbury's you will receive 5% cashback on the money you have loaded onto your Sainbury's reloadable store card (which you order through Incahoot PLUS). The cashback is then immediately credited to your Incahoot PLUS cashback account. You can choose which store specific card you would like from over 22 different retailers. These savings are available on top of any in store promotions, concessions or loyalty schemes. E.G if you have a student discount card (which gives 10% of at New Look) you will also earn 10% cash back, by loading funds onto your New Look storecard."

Hi all, we've been back to Incahoot and they've provided the response below. If you want to try the reloadable store cards or high street vouchers then there are some charges that you would need to pay - unfortunately there's no way around testers having to pay these. However if you would rather not pay any fees and just pay for the items that you buy, then you can: use the online cashback deals, online voucher codes, print and save vouchers and offline discounts in your local area. Here's their full response:

"Incahoot PLUS offers you a range of discounts not only through reloadable store cards and high street gift vouchers but also by using the online cashback deals, online voucher codes, print and save vouchers and offline discounts in your local area ? these will not cost you anything to trial and offer you some of the best discount on the market with over 1300 merchants all in one place ? therefore if you do not wish to spend any money in this product test you don't have to! Please click here to see a video explaining the scheme.

The reloadable store cards and high street vouchers do both require a minimal administration and postage and packaging fee ? please see www.incahoot.com/incahoot-plus/fees-explained/ for further information. Please be aware that a number of these fees such as the insurance are optional and only relate to the high street gift vouchers. Incahoot do not make any money on these minimal fees, for full terms and conditions on Incahoot PLUS please click here.

The Reloadable cards are a great way to budget, especially on your supermarket shopping, you can order up to 5 reloadable store cards for one P&P fee of £1.99, this is a one off cost as you keep your card forever, just topping up when you need to shop! Incahoot always save their members money and have been well established since 2010. Incahoot do not hold any of the money that you top up on your reloadable store cards as the funds are transferred directly onto that card. Once topped up, the funds will be available on that card for a minimum of one year, however this varies dependant on the merchants Ts and Cs.
Each reloadable store card or high street gift voucher is the same as the ones that you can purchase directly in store (gift cards/vouchers), however Incahoot have been able to negotiate exclusive cash back discounts to save you even more money. These cash back discounts are on top of any other in-store promotion or loyalty scheme!"

Hi all, thank you for your comments. Incahoot have asked us to post this:

"Incahoot PLUS is not a saving club (such as Park), it is a new shopping scheme.
The reloadable store cards are for major retailers including Sainsbury's, ASDA, B&Q, Homebase, Boots and Debenhams (to name a few). Incahoot do not hold any of the money as the funds are transferred directly onto the gift card for that specific retailer.

Most of these major retailers will give a receipt when you have completed your purchase which lets you know how much is left on the card! With certain retailers you can also check this online. The cashback and discounts through Incahoot PLUS, are far greater than those offered by credit card companies (with no maximum spend limits) and you will not have any interest charges!

We would like to stress that we are not making any money from this trial as we are giving away 100 Incahoot PLUS memberships for free. We're really looking forward to Mumsnetters trialling the scheme and getting their feedback on their favourite savings and discounts"

Hi TequilaMockinBird, Incahoot saw your comment and asked us to post this:

"If a gift card is lost or stolen, you will need to contact Incahoot PLUS immediately. We will be able to stop the card and can transfer the funds off it onto another card."
