Head down to Tescos. Buy £2000 worth of 2nd class stamps. Use 5% Cash Back card from Capital One. Use Tesco's Clubcard.
Made £100 on card
2000 Clubcard points worth £20, redeem for £80 worth of Pizza Express vouchers. Sell on Ebay for 65% = £52
Make 39% on the stamps = £780
Total £932 profit.
Use Superdrug instead. They're giving a 5% discount on stamps until April 10th.
£100 on card
£780 on the stamps
£100 on 5% Discount (actually it's going to be slightly more but I cant be bothered to work out maths on the discount bit)
£980. 49%!!!!!!!
