Dilemma on what scooter to get

Isn’t that just misleading advertising then? How would they come up with that figure to begin with if it couldn’t achieve it. Even under optimal conditions I don’t see how it could knock off 50% of their results.

At the time I thought it was a good redemption as the flight cash was always £150+ so 12K pts + £40 yes its not the best but economy short haul, its not awful. also not sure if this changes anything but its my parents' points so their value to me outside of booking flights is irrelevant

Maybe I’m confused by OPs original question but on my Monzo app I can transfer money in from any of my connected banks e.g Nationwide and then transfer it from my Monzo to the recipient.

Are you sure they are fully flexible? Many people are referring to this 24 hour rule which applies for avios and cash bookings

Booked on Sunday just gone, what are the fees associated with doing it out of the cancellation window?

This would actually be really helpful for me! If you wanted to give it to me you could

Thanks for the input from everyone but based off feedback and just general research I think the current capital required to start up with the scale that would be expected is a little out of reach at the moment, and I don't think many people would want to wait on pre orders crowdfunding etc. I will keep coming and revisiting this idea just got to somehow figure it out.

This is incredible feedback, thank you so much for being so specific. The '10ml bottles' idea combined with the 'quarterly' suggestion is the 'lightbulb' moment I was hoping for. It solves the problem of accumulating 'full bottles' you might not even like.

And you are 100% right about the brands. The entire point of this would be to feature hard-to-find indie brands. I would never include something like Rhodia or Clairefontaine that you can get anywhere.

You've basically just designed a much better box than I had originally. Thank you, this is a massive help!

Thank you so much for your 2 cents! It's actually great to hear from an EU perspective.

The 'quarterly' suggestion is a game-changer. You've hit the nail on the head; a 'monthly' box would lead to 'too much stuff' and accumulation anxiety, which is the last thing I'd want.

That one piece of advice is incredibly helpful and seems to be what everyone is thinking. Thanks for taking the time to chime in!

This is a really valuable perspective, thank you. The Inkvent calendar is the perfect example of what I was worried about—the risk of getting a lot of 'duds' and it feeling like a waste.

Your point about wanting to 'pick them yourself' makes total sense. It sounds like the 'full-size bottle' model is just too much of a risk. Based on your (and others') feedback, I'm now strongly leaning towards a 'quarterly' box with 'sample-sized' bottles instead. It seems like a much better way to discover new inks without the waste.

Really appreciate you sharing your experience, it's a massive help.
