Over the last four weeks, Barclaycard Freedom Rewards, in partnership with Mumsnet, have brought you Shop Talk: a weekly online talk show where a host of celebrity presenters discussed MNers' savvy shopping tips on everything from hitting the high street to stocking filler saviours.

Watch the highlights here:

Barclaycard say: "In our weekly chat show, Shop Talk, we tackled the big shopping stories that you are talking about in Mumsnet. Andrea McLean, Julia Bradbury, Ben Shephard and Ruth Langsford each took a turn hosting a show and were joined by three panellists, including a member of the Mumsnet team.”

We'd like to know which of the Barclaycard Freedom Rewards partners you'd like to win a £500 voucher for and why.

Everyone who adds their comments to this thread will be entered into a prize draw where one winner will receive £500 in vouchers to spend at their chosen Freedom Rewards partner.

Thanks and good luck,

Definitely Starbucks- with a £500 voucher I could get a Caramel Macchiato and a white hot chocolate once a week for a year

[Ilovetoread]

For practicality it would have to be Homebase because our bathroom is in such a terrible state that it would be fantastic to receive £500 to put towards having a really good revamp. Oooh, a lovely new shower,loo and tiles, it would be bliss.

For frivolity it would have to be theatre tokens.With a family of 5 a trip to the West End to see Matilda (one of our favourite books) and The Lion King would be such an amazing treat for us all. We love the theatre and it would be such a fabulous experience for us and our children.

[NotAFeminist]

I also didn't realise how many partners there were. There's so many good choices, too. I'd love the days out ones to take my son all over to see castles and sea life centres etc. Or a spa one to treat my husband (men can go to spa's right?!) as he works so hard and is quite tall and suffers with a bad back but I think the one I would most like to win a voucher for is Amazon as, like everyone has said, it has such a variety of things to buy. I would buy some more things for the house like a table and cupboards!! I would just use it to treat all of the family for Christmas and make it the best one as opposed to last year!!

[mum2eci]

Amazon would be lovely. I do the majority of my christmas shopping there and this win would certainly help with that!! Prices always seem competitive and speedy delivery too. Love Amazon :-)

[Cherryjellybean]

Amazon for sure! Although I would be happy with lots of other ones too!
Amazon is so varied with books, toys, music etc, it would be a one stop shop for so many things!

[MissRee]

I would LOVE to win the voucher for Homebase - I'm desperately trying to decorate my 2-bed flat so that the 4 of us can buy a bigger house with a garden! Its in such a state of disrepair that we need all the help we can get when it comes to paying for it.

[ShatnersBassoon]

M&S for me. £500 worth of their Walnut Whips would give me so much pleasure.

[tinypumpkin]

Amazon here too for the reason of choice. Just something for everyone. Would treat my sister also who is having a really tough time at the moment as well as DH and the children of course. I am an Amazon lover. :)

[janeyh31]

I would love to win a haven voucher so I could take the family away & have some family time at the sea side. We have visited haven sites a few times & have always had a great time.

[mamaduckbone]

Right now I would say Homebase as our whole house needs decorating and we could have lovely Farrow and Ball paint with that as well as Habitat bits and pieces that we can't justify...new bedlinen and a gorgeous pendant light for over the dining table.

[Fumnudge]

Amazon too, you can treat everyone as they're so diverse. (They also do fat calf slim feet boots that don't cost the earth ??)

[Ruby6918]

id love to win vouchers for b&q i have a massive hole in my bathroom wall a broken toilet seat nothing matches, it is a sorry pitiful sight, and i HATE IT! I would be able to sit on my loo and sigh with sense of happiness instead of DREAD.

[AndHarry]

I would most like to win £500 at Premier Inn so me, DH and the DC could spend the next half term holiday exploring different parts of the country.

[Spirael]

A vote for Homebase here. We're in the process of decorating and furnishing a previously bare room as a bedroom for DD to move into so that the nursery becomes free for her baby sibling due next year!

[SantaIKnowHimIKnowHim]

I'd love to win a voucher for Cineworld, as I recently took our two small ones to the cinema and nearly fainted when I'd bought the tickets, got the popcorn and drinks etc!
You'd need to take out a small mortgage to go anywhere near frequently!
We loved the cinema, though it's a great family day out. So I'd love to win cinema vouchers to see some great kids films for the children and me and some rom com type chick flicks for me, and maybe some action types ones if I decide to take DH for a 'romantic' evening out.

[DixieWest]

Also I think I should win because I've just been accepted for a barclaycard off the back of this thread . Could stick the ring on my new card ;).

[MaryannM]

I'd love to win a voucher for homebase. We have so much renovating that needs to be done in our house but can only go along as we can afford doing little bits here and there and never really getting anywhere in a hurry. A voucher from homebase could help us to get so much done, especially with creating a kids play area upstairs. :-)

[DoctorGilbertson]

Marks and Spencers for me, I think with a bit going to Unicef.

But having read through the thread everyone else has such good ideas (I loved the holiday at Premier Inn idea). M&S anyway, I think.

[joeyhanmum]

Amazon might look after their customers but I'm not sure about their staff after watching a documentary last night, I was pretty shocked! I hadn't come across Freedom Parters before even though DP is a customer of Barclays. Makes a change to be able to support to charities through a reward scheme as well as use points at retailers. I would donate half to ABF The Soldiers Charity because I know from personal experience that military life is really tough, especially at Christmas if loved ones are abroad, and the charity could help struggling families. The rest I'd put towards treating my hardworking DP and little DD and Ddog (have I missed an acronym for pets?) to a Hoseasons break.

[StairsInTheNight]

Amazon- most of my salary is spent here. Amazon deliver! So I dont have to go to the shops... what is better than that?

[FoofFighter]

In my dream world it would be Starbucks, I could EASILY spend £500 on gingerbread lattes as it's my little escape place for some me-time with a newspaper or a book.

In reality I would have to pick something a bit more sensible like Marks & Spencer so I could get some clothes, some homewares and some lovely nosh.

[Tigerbomb]

I just want to say thank you for this thread - I didnt know about the points and have just gone online and claimed mine

It's absolutey nowhere near £500 and if I won I would wish for vouchers for Curry's/PC World. I am desperate for a new laptop for my daughter, it would help so much for her job search/cv's etc

[kateandme]

i would say amazon.becasue it would mean i would have money for presents in the coming need for them.i dont have any money and so to actually be able to buy gifts for people i love on their special days and celebrations would be amazing.
it would stop me feeling so worhtless with guilt becasue i cant give them anything.

[MadMonkeys]

I'd choose Next because i love their clothes (for my daughters) but our budget doesn't stretch that far.

[serendipity1980]

I would definitely like to receive a voucher for Amazon, they offer so many different products, I could treat my whole family, buy some furniture etc. I'm not restricted and they always have great customer service. Thanks for entering me into the draw.
