Ah supervalu, I had 3 accounts registered to my house, and I don't even live in ROI 
The crappy IT and poorly thought out promos were gamed easily enough and worked favourably for an avios collector.
They had many 250/500 bonus points per purchase in the early days on their estore, and didn't consider you could purchase 3p digital downloads on a foreign ebay-esk website called bonanza, or 30c for some random coins on an asian auction site called joybuy, or buy an ebook for 99p etc, getting the bonus each time. Or indeed simply signing up to fiverr without making a purchase triggered the bonus. armed with a VPN, I ended up with 'many' fiverr accounts. They had a whole host of estore partners that I've never seen elsewhere, including really random never heard of before asian stores.
They did eventually learn, and excluded some vendors from bonuses, and limited most others to 6 or so transactions.
However with the above and dialing in early x2 and x3 transfer bonuses, and recurring 50% transfer bonuses which turned out to be 125% bonuses, over the 3 years or so when the going was good, I managed to get around 250K avios for about £100 cash outlay.
And as they allowed you to combine points from multiple supervalu accounts into one account, you could effectively transfer earnings from multiple accounts to one avios account.
So long supervalu, I'll remember you fondly.

I edited my previous post whilst you were replying to make it read a bit easier.

I wish I'd put that much thought into my earning

Is there any way of applying for a euro amex card from Spain or Germany from an Ireland address? Feels like the euro single market in services doesn't work as well as it should when so much stuff is still geofenced
