An alternative to Loyalive – free loyalty cards app from Stampuno to access all your shopping cards in one place
Do you have the same problem as me? A handbag or purse with too many plastic and paper loyalty cards in those tiny little pockets – and they can be a real pain to use.
I might often struggle nervously to find the right card when I get to the till or café counter. If I can’t see it (my eyesight isn’t what it used to be), I sometimes give up, because I don’t want to hold up the queue, pay the full price and lose some potential loyalty points.
Never Again Miss Any of Your Loyalty Card Points
I think a loyalty cards app is important for us shoppers. We spend huge amounts of money in shops every month and we deserve to get and use all the loyalty points we have earned.
After …

Free cake and hot drink from John Lewis – new loyalty card
Got my John Lewis loyalty card and welcome pack today after applying a week ago. Guess I’ll have to find room for it with my other loyalty cards.
I got free cake and hot drink vouchers from December 2013 to June 2014. I went with my friend and we used our vouchers to save over £11 for a carrot cake, Victoria sponge and two hot drinks.
I just need to produce the card when I go into the shop and if I shop online, the card is already linked to my online account. If I shop on the phone, I just need to give them the number on the back.
The advantages of having the card while you shop
Along with your membership card, as a member you’ll get

Tips for saving with coupons and vouchers
I am a couponer I must admit. Not an extreme one though. You know the types that can get their shopping for £5 a week and have stacks of stuff that they didn’t really want just because it was free or cost next to nothing – that is too much effort for me.
I do however save coupons, look out for them in the post and in magazines, readily accept them when handed out around town and have no problem rummaging in my bag to save 20p off an item, get a bogof or some free loyalty points on a purchase.
Invariably I have some coupons floating around in my bag or purse at all times. I do cull them and remove the out of date ones. I also stick ones that are not really …

Get paid to shop with Top CashBack
A website that pays you money as you shop, now I wasn’t sure at first, but what did I have to lose?
I was already signed up to Quidco. While I did use Quidco for two years and got paid £732, I did have to pay for the privilege, so I switched. BTW, the amount is high as I brought quite a few electricals and expensive bits of gear.
I came across Top CashBack and made the move. There are other similar sites around, but Top CashBack doesn’t charge you. It makes money from ads, whereas sites like Quidco charge, if only a little bit, but it’s a charge and I like things for free. I hear that now, however, that Quidco has also introduced a free service, so that may be worth checking out.…

How loyalty cards can save you money
In my bag and purse I have 15 loyalty cards from various retailers, including Game, BHS, Boots and Sainsburys.
Although I don’t use all of them every week, they definitely save me money. My favourites are the ones that earn you money off rather than send you vouchers for things that you may or may not buy. The top “earners” are Nectar, Boots Advantage card and Superdrug’s Beautycard. Tesco may be good but I would rather have Avios miles. BHS’ loyalty card is cool and I always get a minimum of 5% off – I don’t think new customers can get the card, but I’ve had mine for over a decade.
So when the shop assistant asks, do you have a store loyalty card, just ask right back, do I have to pay for it? …

How to bag a bargain on eBay
I am a fan of eBay. Before buying anything online, I will see if I can get it on eBay. It’s even more enticing now that I can collect Nectar points for my purchases.
Recently, I picked up a brand new steam generator iron for £50 less than the cheapest online store, and that was Argos. The item has a guarantee card and arrived within a couple of days. I also recently bagged some Berghaus walking boots for £35 inc postage and package. They had been worn but were in fantastic condition (as good as new as far as I was concerned) and better than paying £115 for boots I will wear only a handful of times a year. I buy lots of other things and price is nearly always the reason I choose eBay.…
