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.

Quite possibly, but the first time I bought some, which was 18 in one hit, completley unaware that cards could fail, it was an absolute nightmare going through all the slips to find which one it was.

Had a right hassle last night getting some in Tesco.
Basically the guy said they can only be done on a proper til (not self service) and that it doesn't open til 8am - I was there about 04:00.
In the end I had to get him to call the manager down who pretty much ordered him to stop being so lazy and to get on the proper til.
I'd imagine it was the fact I had 48 cards in my hand that I wanted to buy, lol.
Got it sorted in the end but could have done without the hassle.

I'm hardly ever in the vicinity of a large Tesco and as I was going to be in the area I made a detour to go past this store this morning. You beat me to it by a few hours! I didn't see any left...did you clear them out?

A bit more about Morrisons and 3V...
And when Morrison eventually start their online sales, it looks like gift cards will be included. From the FAQ page:
- Every store I've been to in the last couple of weeks have had 3v cards.
- Scanning the bar codes can be a problem in some stores, and activation can be particularly slow
- The fuel savers coupon are quite lucrative. £500 in 3V gets 50p off a litre, which for my car is £20. They can also be stacked to use on one purchase of fuel
- Check when the fuel saver coupon is used as the number of litres in entered manually
- Gift card spend is excluded from discount coupons and Christmas bonus offer

Can I buy the cards online?
Currently no, but we are working to ensure we offer this service in 2013.

Yes, sorry - I decided a while ago, after missing loads of 3V opportunities that I wasn't going to let another go.

Heads up
I went to town on this one last time around and got 40 odd vouchers = £4k in MS and made money on the deal.
Worst case scenario if they are no 3V stock (which is likely), you can buy the £53.95 cards - one this week one next week using the voucher. Net cost is £2.90 for 300 Clubcard points plus your credit card points. For me this works out at £2.90 per 1000 avios.
Spend £40* either in store or on our Grocery site between Monday 21st October and Sunday 27th October 2013 and receive a £5 off coupon for your next £40** shop delivered between Monday 28th October and Sunday 3rd November 2013.
