You're applying for the limited number of budget season cards, that are being sold on a first come first served basis. That's why it's taking a bit of time

I'm doing Zebra Finance, after using them for the first time this year. Quick and easy over the phone, send you out something to sign and stick your debit card details on, and then it's done. Paying £38 interest which i'm happy to do as they give me an easy opportunity of renewing my card rather than sweating on getting the money from elsewhere.

The only thing I want to know though, is can I easily ring City up and join all the cup schemes and still get the loyalty points etc? Or do they only allow you to join them when you intitially renew?

Here's a little tip for you which is what I do each year....Put all my 50pence pieces and 20 pence pieces in my huge blue moon money box... Believe me you won't miss it and it soon mounts up..I had £245 saved up when I counted last week. Went straight in the bank ready for the 7th June...The difference is paid for by overpaying my gas and electricity bill each month via direct debit-So instead of paying £70 per month I pay £135.....When I got my quarterly I was £580 in credit (Dont forget you hardly use your heating for 6 months of the year). Got a refund of £250 and thats my platinum paid for in the South upper of £505!!!! Believe me fellas when it comes around each year you will be chuffed not having to find 500 big ones. Pay for my lads birthday/easter money etc...

Re zebra finance...little tip...If you can get a zero % credit card if you can so at least you dont have to pay interest...

And no I am not a financial advisor!!!!!!

Saving up to buy something you really want seems to be an alien concept to the modern credit-rich, cash-poor generation. I'm with you mate, pound nuggets in a metal box. Going without a pint or two that you don't even really want at the end of the night adds up very quickly.

i take it you can go to the ground and renew when the take that concerts are finished.

I asked the same question over the phone and nobody at the club could tell me. I always prefer to go down in person and pay, had too many shocking experiences by other methods, ticket no-shows, queues, lengthy phone calls etc.

Excellent idea saving up losse change that's how I managed to pay nearly half towards last seasons ticket the rest paid for by doing a bit overtime, I still have a massive saving jar and all my change at the end of each day gets chucked in there. My Tip tho avoid them Coinstar machines not only am I convinced they under count but they charge you aswell, I get loads of coin bags from my bank then spend hours counting it all and bagging it up then pay it my account, bit of a pain in the Arse but better than getting ripped off by a machine.

Never ever use those shitty coinstar machines.I just sit there counting it with the misses,bag it up and take it to the bank.Just transfer it to my online savings account and its sat there waiting for renewal date..Would hate to have to drip up my season ticket each year and saving is the easiest way.

I was told that some banks have coin machines now and that they don't charge a fee? My mrs got me a money jar that counts your money for crimbo, I've got 93 quid in at the moment so I need to go and cash it in this weekend so I can use it for my ST. Only problem is I'm gonna feel a bit of a **** cashing in 93 quids worth of coins, so could do with getting to the bank early before it gets busy (that's if these non-fee coin machines exist)

i think barclays is a bank that has coin counting machines

i'm almost certain the one near st annes square has one

12 months of saving up all my 20p's, coppers and also the odd pound coin here and there has yielded £646. That leaves me needing to find £9 to pay for the Platinum Membership in Colin Bell level 2. Hoping my brother can blag my Dad to pay for his though.
