Hi everybody. Thank you for any assistance you can give. I have read the other threads on this subject, but none of them seem to be covering my position.

I’ve been a limitless plus member for years, so I’m currently paying £19.99 per month. Clearly, the 150- pound offer would be a very good saving for a year.

But even when logging in on the laptop, I can’t see proper details of my account. I can’t see my monthly payment, or how much notice I have to give. I can’t see how to switch to the £150 annual gift card and effectively stop the monthly payments.

It could well be that I am particularly stupid! Could someone please just say what I need to do to switch. Do I need to give 30 days notice? Do I need to cancel my direct debit? I guess I could close the account and start another one, but that seems a big strain. Or is there an easy route to switching, I certainly haven’t got a minimum term which everybody else has (apart from perhaps 30 days notice?) As I’ve been doing it for so long.

I’m really just not clear on how I can switch and effectively cancel my monthly payments and sit on a £150 for 12 month deal.

Thank you very much in anticipation

I have had the Lloyds ultra cashback credit card for year and it has been fantastic. You get 1% cashback on every transaction which has earned me hundreds of pounds. Unfortunately 1% cashback was only for the first year, then it drops to 0.25%.

I can’t see any other 1% cashback cards anywhere, certainly not ones that give cash back on every transaction, and that aren’t American Express

Does anybody know of any? Or any way to get a new Lloyds ultra 1% card after this one reaches the end of the 1% 12 months?

Thanks all.

I have this enabled in settings. Very very occasionally it will charge to 75 or 80% and stop. But usually it charges all the way to 100% each night. I charge it at the same time, within a five minute window, and yet it refuses to do optimised charging almost all of the time. I only take it off for the charging, and try to retrieve it from the charger before it reaches 100%, but usually forget or miss it.

With the iphone, you can force a charge limit of 80% or 90% etc which works. But with the watch it just seems to be a wish.

When I charge it it is usually at about 50% so it is not like it is running down too much before being charged.

does anybody have any ideas why this useless function isn’t working? Clearly with my battery being about 50% used during the day it would work well for me to limit the charge and therefore help the battery's life.

Hi I’m upgrading from a 16 pro Max to a 17 pro Max in the next few days. Like a lot of people, the 18 will be too expensive, and the 17 is still available new with good deals.

With my 16, I started off fast charging, because I could, using a high power mains charger, and a PD USB C to C cable for a fast charge.

I noticed the battery health had dropped more than I expected after a few months. I switched to a USB A to C cable, which gave a slow charge.

As I always charge overnight, it didn’t matter whether it was fast or slow. After that I noticed that the battery health degraded much slower. It has always been set to a 95% maximum charge as I use it a lot the next day.

If you charge overnight, I would recommend using a slower charger, via a USB A cable. Unless you definitely need a fast charge. I’m at 90% after 540 cycles on the 16 now.

Hi, we have a medium sized lounge with two south facing windows so it is especially hot in heat waves. I am in Wolverhampton uk.

Rather than messing around with a portable unit, it would make sense to have one of the ones fitted where there is an inside unit up by the ceiling, and an outside unit the other side of the wall.. It’s probably straightforward as the wall where it would be fitted as an outside wall, so the unit could go the other side of it.

Obviously after this summer and the shortage is, prices are higher than they were and fitters are really busy for many months ahead.

There’s no rush with this, when would be the best time to contact people to get quotes? I guess winter time will be a bit less busy with some of the backlog gone. And how do you find a good fitter? It’s not like a plumber, where everybody has used one and has recommendations. How do you go about finding someone who is reputable and reliable and gives fair prices? I’m sure many fitters do, but how to find them.

What would a reasonable Guide price be? I’m thinking / guessing about £1800?

Hi we’ve arrived in Palma and are hiring a car on Wednesday. The west coast is not known to me and there aren’t any obvious places to go to. Can anyone with local knowledge suggest a good place to go with a view of the horizon?

Hi I bought an iPhone 16 pro max from Apple uk in September 2024. With it I bought monthly paid AppleCare+ with theft & loss insurance.

I’ve never had to claim, but like the insurance.

When it ends in September is there any Applecare I can continue with?

If not can anyone recommend insurance that would cover say a cracked screen or camera lens like AC would?

Thanks.

I wanted a Swatch Moonphase watch and saw one just above the shop price and bought it. There are fakes, but the photograph in the listing was of a genuine watch. You can tell in particular by the number of stitches across the strap. The genuine ones have five and fakes have six and this had five. It also had an original purchase receipt so I was satisfied and bought it.

It arrived and I first noticed the push buttons were mushy instead of clicking when pushed. The moon phase dial could not be adjusted by pushing the lower button, instead the minute subdial rotated. And best of all, the strap had six stitches across. So it wasn’t even the watch in the original listing photograph, it was a different one and fake. I am showing the listing photograph and a photograph of the actual watch received. Update - I’m not unfortunately as Reddit won’t let me select new photos.

I opened an item not as received claim with the photo. The seller has now messaged saying that the watch is genuine and the receipt proves it. I replied with the two photographs saying that the watch delivered wasn’t even the watch in the listing photograph. I have also done negative feedback saying the watch is fake. The seller offered a 10% refund if I kept the watch and I said no, I want to to send it back for a full refund.

eBay will step in on the 4th of August if nothing has happened by then. I’m slightly worried the seller will say that I have swapped the watch when he receives his fake one back. But hopefully my messages with the two photographs will help. In addition I have 600 positive reviews, he has two reviews in total.

Hi

I’m planning to go to Spain next year in Aug. Any guesses when easyJet will release the flights? They only go to mid June right now.
Thanks.

Hi all. I’m on my 6th dose of 2.5 so need to decide whether to stay on that or go to 5 next month.

I’ve had no side effects, in 6 jabs I’ve lost 24 lbs and am on -4 a week now . I’ve had no food noise and am eating enough but healthily with protein, & drinking lots of squash.

So I could consider staying on 2.5 for a 3rd month?

Eventually though most people move to 5 but many seem to report side effect then - and I guess it suddenly doubles the dose suddenly unlike the smaller jumps from 5 to 7.5 and 7.5 to 10.

I’m wondering about ordering a 5 pen either next month, or when I need. But counting clicks & doing six weeks (inc golden dose) at 3.75 as a transition to the full 5 ?

It seems an idea, less of a jump between 2.5 and 5 for one pen only, plus a couple of extra bonus doses?

What do you think?

Hi next year im looking forward to getting an M3 on PCH once my Mazda PCP ends.

I have all my music on a usb stick in folders & subfolders.

I know the M3 has a usb stick for dashcam storage etc in the glovebox. It obviously needs that, is there any way of playing music off my own stick?

Thanks

Hi experienced people and experts.

This was discussed in another posting and I’m interested in your thoughts.

I’m on my fifth week of 2.5. As soon as I started with my first dose, I could tell the food noise had gone. I stopped pondering at length what I would eat the next day. On the day itself I wasn’t interested in food. In the supermarket I was bored looking at the things I used to like, unhealthy snacks and ready meals etc, fancying instead salads and chicken. Eating out, I’ve happily gone from gammon egg and chips to gammon egg and salad. Indian meals, now chicken tikka and salad, instead of chicken tikka masala and rice.

I’ve cut down a lot on calories, having about 1000 to 1200 a day instead of 2400+.

I have had some breakthroughs though. Which I think is more to do with either hunger, or my body saying I need more food? Though I have worried in case it’s food noise returning.

For instance I was watching the football in a pub and there was a fish and chip shop opposite. I couldn’t resist going over and getting a sausage. Not battered, no chips, just a sausage. Which I are eagerly but felt guilty. But it almost felt like I needed it, rather than than it being an impulse.

So I sometimes wonder if “food noise returning“ is actually our bodies saying either that it is hungry, or that it needs something like protein.

Thanks for any thoughts or comments on this.

Hi, I’ve got an IO 8 . The 8 uses the magnetic charging base.

I’ve seen the 10 has a more advanced ‘sense’ base with a timer & pressure lights.

If I could get one, would it be compatible with my 8? Would they pair?

I’ve seen some 9s come with the timer base.

Also, I assume the base has to be plugged into the mains? For it to work as a timer and pressure sensor?

This is lighthearted, I hope it isn’t wasting space in this brilliant forum.

I used to love going to the supermarket. Looking around, getting the shopping I was supposed to, being tempted by hot bacon rolls or steak slices. Or both! Yummy things with high calories that I didn’t need but liked. Always buying twice as much as I had actually set out to buy. Things like cocktail sausages, hot cross buns, high cal and fat snacks. Ready meals like sweet & sour chicken & chicken tikka masala.

Now I feel like a vegetarian in the butchers shop when in the supermarket. Thinking “I don’t fancy that, I don’t fancy that either”.

I’m now obsessed with healthy food like salads and healthy meats like chicken rather than little boxes of cocktail sausages lol. My bill has dropped considerably, and probably goes a long way to the towards the monthly payments.

Hi

Lots of people have reported having problems resulting in them not using it any more.

Is there a list of things that can cause this problem? Like using unofficial apps or different phone numbers? Many thanks.

Hi, we visit every year & stay in the Stakis Bestwestern casino hotel the far end of the Douglas prom. They’ve closed their restaurant which is a shame, it was a reasonable carvery with good views.

Out of everywhere we go, Douglas seems to be the hardest to find a reasonably priced reasonably good restaurants.

Does anyone have any recommendations? With the (mainland) usual prices of say £10 for starters and £15-25 mains?

Many thanks.

Hi, I test drove a model three today and it was fantastic. I have to wait till next September as I’m tied into a PCP which is annoying, but I will just have to wait. A question about something.

I set the cruise control to be set to the speed limit in the menu. I pushed the right hand wheel to start the system when in a 30 limit and it went to 30 i.e. tye repeat of the sign said 30, and the number is next to it said 30 and the car went at 30.

The limit went to 40, all okay, 50 all okay. I clicked the target speed up to 52. Then the limit dropped to 40. The repeat of the speed limit sign (i.e. the picture of the round sign with 40 in it) said 40 but the target speed next to it still said 52 and the car went at 52. So the car knew the speed was now 40, but the target speed stayed at 52. And I couldn’t work out why.
