Well I wouldn't recommend it to anyone of a nervous disposition, but i've just got miles after ordering via the main travelex website and Quidco.

It required some 'enthusiastic debate' at T4, but after repeated claims of impossibility, the teller agreed to swipe my card against the last transaction in her till. Net result: considerably more miles than I deserve, cashback, a price promise cheque to look forward to, and the scars from a thousand dagger stares from those behind me in the queue.

I'd like to think they supported my fight for justice, but I suspect they just want to beat me to a pulp.

Ad an aside, it's terrifying how many people just walk up with a wad of GBP and ask 'can I have that in dollars please' without even asking the rate.
