What we know so far, that we are happy to share, and won't get the hump when other people ask us or other people get the hump cos we know something they don't.

3V / Pay.com cards are no more

That is all.

Did I say Midlands? I meant Mid-Lanarkshire. Must have made a typo while putting my kilt on .

Ł15k is impressive whatever the timescale! Well done sir!

Just to add my 2p worth since I don't just want to be a lurker:

MS requires a certain amount of creativity and persistence. Once NS&I was closed I managed to redirect my spend through a certain P2P lender which was actually a far simpler process to NS&I however that route has now been closed as well.
I've been working my way through some prepay cards but no luck yet.

Reading the US MS is quite useful because it helps to generate fresh ideas.

Whilst I completely agree with non-disclosure of working MS leads I'm all for sharing useful clues, tips, ideas that will help others in their search for MS.

I too am all for sharing, and as soon as someone comes up with a working method I'll happily hand over one of mine.

In the meantime, I'll just happily carry on doing what I'm doing.
Obviously a 3 step method is preferable to all, but I'm all for mixing it up with a 4 step method thrown in

Sounds like a fair deal.

You go first.

I would be happy to offer my services as an independent third party to evaluate and verify both your offers.

Both of you send me your methods and I'll pass them on to the other once I have received both.

I've been looking for 3V cards and I don't see them anywhere in London the past month. Has Tesco stopped restocking them or is it just me having bad luck...?

I've seen a few around work but my local hasn't been restocked in a month (the one near work has been restocked in the past month though).

+1, I have not seen them for about 5 weeks. I have even tried a couple of Boots that have been stocking them since the NS&I loophole closed... But no luck either..

Generally I seem to see more in Boots than Tesco. Not sure if that's other peeps getting in quickly and clearing Tesco stocks, or actual stocking levels..
