Martin Lewis was on GMTV this week going on and on about the cashback you can get with Supermarkets own Christmas Savings Cards

http://www.asdabusinessrewards.com/asc/

He was bragging about how much you can get back blah blah blah ..............

I was silently steaming because he forgot to say what happens if you lose that card :evil: :evil:

Went shopping today and overheard an Asda employee telling a colleague that she had lost her card and the £150 that was on it :( :( :(

I don't particularly think that much of Martin Lewis given the fact that he believes Christmas saving schemes with members of the CPA are not good value for money.

Very annoying he is promoting supermarket yet failing to mention the Asda card fact that you wont get your money if you lose the card :(

Asda could maybe start by giving people assurances that if they lose their cards they will be reinburst and the old card cancelled so no one else can use it. Only my thought on it

There is no reason why they couldnt give them size of them Sandra. Surely a company as big as Asda could hold a database with names, addresses and amounts swiped onto cards !!!

The only savings that Linda does is the Morrison's stamps, but must admit she does carry it in her purse, maybe not a wise move perhaps but not that much on it. She also collects my £5 vouchers I get from my petrol purchases from Morrison's also during the year. Think maybe I loose out there. :lol: :lol:

Have verified with Linda and got the above post wrong, like Sue Linda keeps her Morrison's card at home so that is one worry less. :lol: :lol:
