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.

Yes, and then I did another one a few days later and that hasn't gone through either.

Any MS tips for folks coming over to the isles for a spot of financial looting? Will be over in London and Edinburgh. Do we need a VISA now for Scotland?

August - we hit London for a few days and then Scotland for the Tattoo. What's the best brew to complement haggis?

Hey folks,

Interesting thread. I wonder if anyone can summarize any Manufactured Spend methods which are not necessarily profitable?

For various reasons the spoilage in getting the cash back is less an issue to me.

Thanks.

I aplogise for this not being a pure MS question, but I know this audience will know the answer to a couple of questions:

(i) if you prepay (with V3) a BT account to the full cost of a years Line Rental Saver, can you still apply that credit balance to pay for the Line Rental Saver rather than charge it to a debit/credit card?

(ii) is the TV Licence pre-pay scheme still accepting V3?

Thanks!

I'm having success with the well known device that begins with Z. (Not spelling it out to avoid Google flagging it up in searches as FT is well indexed.)

0% fees help too.

I'm keeping the amounts sensible (four figures p/month) but it does requires a trusted third party.
