Ok great. Is this an offer that's on all year, or is it a timed promo?

I'm assuming that buying 5 x Ł100 cards would only give 5 x 150 points?

I've only seen Ł20 cards for sale unfortunately, but you get 150 points per Ł50 worth whatever the denomination

There are also some Ł10 cards available as well, so you can get to exactly Ł50.

A warning for anyone who may consider getting Costa gift cards. I bought a couple as I sometimes find myself on the motorway without any cash, only to find the cards aren't accepted there.

So if for example you buy £150 of next gift cards in one transaction , you will get 450 CC points? Or would you need to buy them in separate transactions?

Most of my orders have gone to "order completed". I can't find out what that exactly means. Does that mean they have been shipped and should see them shortly?

Thanks

Mine are same, when I click on details of one of the orders I see a space for a 'tracking number' but isn't populated so I'm guessing they haven't been physically posted yet. Then again I've never ordered from MR before so not sure if it always/ever gets populated.

Buying together is fine.

My pan has been showing complete since yesterday, but my Tesco gift cards, which I ordered about 6 hours before the pan are still showing "In progress". Points were deducted immediately.

Fingers crossed

The fact that the pan completed first is to be expected. People were reporting them as completing very quickly, whereas all Tesco cards took until the next day, so that wouldn't worry me.

However, I'm surprised that your cards are still showing as in progress. Is anyone else still stuck at that stage.

To be honest, I'm still not convinced this is a done deal yet. Every email I get, I'm expecting it to be from Amex explaining their mistake, and crediting the points back. I won't believe it until the cards arrive, which I suspect is still a good few days away.

I missed the Tesco cards, but put an order in for the griddle, Dyson and wine. The Dyson is still saying "In progress" but the other two are saying "Order Complete".

This seems to be the norm. Same for me for orders placed Wednesday night.
