Just noticed Amazon.co.Uk no longer have a minimum spend on items to qualify for super saver/free delivery.

Been like that for a while, though they need to fix the buggy option list before people give up completely

They also need to fix the option so that super saver is the default option. I had to cancel an order when the one click option automatically picked the most expensive delivery option.

Just looking online for childrens savings account. Why do most banks pay children less interest than adults? The best one by far (which isn't even on comparison sites) is Bath BS that give four and a bit percent, but only up to £500. We need to find another one. Annoyingly you can't seem to use internet banking for childrens savings, which I think is they excuse for not offering better rates.

For those that use OSX and shop on Amazon. Prices Drop Monitor for Amazon https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prices-drop-monitor-for-amazon/id473939551?mt=12 or http://pricesdropmonitor.en.softonic.comPrices Drop Monitor for Amazon is a simple application that lets users add products they want to track prices for. Very handy as it warns you when the price drops. Just keep watching to see if it hits a price level that you are happy with. Basic version only watches 20 items, pay £2.49 and you get to monitor 50 items.

Do they have a plugin to stop them spamming tons of crap at me even though I've repeated opted out of everything I could find that had their name on it?

I do not get that much spam from them but then I do filter my mail.

Just a general comment. I have noticed that eBay offer better deals on average than Amazon. I price check many items on eBay and Amazon and the last six have been bought via eBay rather than my usual default of Amazon.

I check, in no particular order, Google Shopping/Play (heh)/Amazon/eBay. Quite often I'll order from a company I've never used before as a result of Google Shopping, but only if they check out.

I use Google Shopping first as well but I am also watching what deals I can get on topcashback and will try and buy through them, even if it is from eBay as well. So I get a good price and cash back. I have got nearly £300 pounds back in the last year.

Quicd co is now offering a free option for users. So no more £5 annual fee. There is also a premium version which has faster paying stores, but has that really been a problem? The lack of the fee means I might actually use it now as I was not considering the £5 fee.

For anyone who has used their account this annual period you have to wait until the next one to downgrade your account, which is what I'll be doing. Had over £100 declined this year on 2 transactions and the ones that do track/pay have been hideously slow
