Re: The Barclays and other non-Lloyds/TSB Bank thread

One thing about Pay+ is it includes clubcard and, for staff, discount in one single scan. (M&S have also integrated their discount card into sparks I believe). It also had a much higher transaction limit than contactless. BTW is it just me or is tesco's mobile limit flakey? I been refused on app...

Re: The Unofficial Sainsbury's Thread

Fridge at work used to be full of 'em in the before times! Yes, this cost of living crisis really has flushed out the hold outs from my magnificent milk club. It was always better value but it's now just absurd to buy a pint for £1 when £5 gets you three months of unlimited milk. Perhaps one day yo...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

My local Wilko is doing “Spend £5 and get 10% off your next shop” which doesn’t totally fill me with confidence about how things are going Supermarkets have done similar offers in the past. Wilko are safe until Christmas at least with Hilco's investment I expect. Wilko is definitely not as cheap as...

Re: Emergency alerts

So apparently the issue was that three only broadcast the signal once, instead of continuously for 20 minutes, meaning if your phone didn't have a flawless connection at that exact moment it didn't get the alert. I did get quite a fright as I was driving at the time and it came through the carplay, ...
