Could have been interesting, however that code doesn't work for me. And why does tesco charge £4.85 even for in-store pick-up for orders below £25

If it's for the free delivery of SIMs, it will probably show as a deduction on the payment page. That's what happened to my priority delivery charge of £6.85.

update to tesco

you can now buy a tesco lg jaguar phone(cant remember exact model) for £9.97 with free £10credit
either use 250 point code TDXR-ATDC
or add a packet of batteries or other small item to take it over £20(doesn't recognise £10credit as being free) and use code TDX-CLHD for £5 off

Just tested the water with a Tesco SIM for £2.47 plus bonus points.

Daft question : where do I go to see if and when it's tracked? I've been all over the website within my BMI account and can't find the relevant page (probably missing something obvious).

e-bay

Shopped twice over the weekend, both are tracking already, but looks like I've lost out.

Item 1, Cost £1 before p&p showing as 51p
item 2, cost £1.95 before p&p showing as 99p

copy below
09/05/2008 eBay £0.51 1 mile/£1 Pending 0
09/05/2008 eBay £0.99 1 mile/£1 Pending 0


so thats ZERO miles

eBay mileage earning up till a month ago was 2 miles/£... so yes, I agree. Not good

Also as you've stated, remember, its based on the HAMMER price, NOT inculding P&P... so if you've paid 99p for an item and £10 P&P... you only get rewarded for the 99p!

Truth be known, I was planning on ebay, but alas with the mileage earning, I reckon I could get 10 highway codes off Waterstones, make 5110 points, and flog the books on ebay for a £1 each with £1 p&p... and still come out not to shabby....

Do we know for sure yet if the 500 bonus miles is for a transaction of at least £1 ,or does a transaction under a £1 still qualify for the bonus?

We don't - the bonus points are applied after the promo period, so no way of knowing during the activity. Therefore, to be safe go for above £1 at which point points are definitely earned.

So how do you do it then?

It may be in here but do I need to log out and back in or is it enough to simply go to flybmi.com/shopping, -itunes and enter that portal every time without log-in or log-out?

Drat!!!! 4 highway codes ordered so far - so close and yet so far! (admitedly I didn't get stung for the one I ordered this morning)

Of course, the BMI Shopping portal indicate that shipping is free on all orders still from Waterstones

I'm thinking iTunes again now... better clear my cookies at home to force them to track

(that or I'm buying more camera film off ebay...)
