Um...no. Not really.

Just some stuff I could use.

If you have a lot of time to spare, why not give it a try:

- Take your Payback-Card to Real or Kaufhof
- Ask people that wait in line and that do now have an own card if they would be willing to have your card swiped through
- take your card and go back into the line, asking other people again

With the Points x 5 Promo it should be possible to have about 2000€ on your card in half a day, thus 10.000 miles.

But you have to be quite convincing, I guess

Real or Kaufhof

It says: 5x, but in Real, you do not get 1Point for 1€. This is, as I recall it, with Kaufhof and with the Drogerie Market DM.

Thanks

I can use these - the ones from Linda Apotheke are especially good because you can just use as many as you want (no limit - as long as each purchase is €20 or more). For some reason, none of these coupons show up when I log into my Payback account.

Wow, just saw this!
All "real" coupons I posted above are combinable!

So if you shop there for more then 80 € you could use them all together!

Best value would be to buy sweets only for 80 €!

Then you would get:
40 Pts <-- Standard
160 Pts <-- 5 x pts on sweets
160 Pts <-- 5 x pts on everything
100 Pts <-- 100 Pts for shopping more then 30 €
120 Pts <-- 4 x Pts for shopping more then 40 €
150 Pts <-- 150 Pts for shopping more then 80 €
-------
730 Pts <-- not too bad!

Pay with LH-Creditcard 160 additional Miles

Calculation above was just for fun!
