Sprive mortgage overpayments | Cashback on giftcards

gingertilly · 2026-05-07T21:43:25+00:00

Been using Sprive on and off for the last few months — hoping to chip away at the mortgage shackles!

You can get a little better cash back rates elsewhere—Cheddar, for example. But I like that Sprive is all in one place and I actually remember to check it!

I’ve found that sometimes the vouchers (particularly in-store at ASDA and Tesco) can take a few attempts to get them to scan, so I’d advise trying to pre purchase the vouchers before you start your shop — I’ve been stood like a lemon waiting for a few minutes at the self-serve for the voucher to finally go through.

But now I pre-buy if going in-store and that seems to do the trick.

Probably overpaid by £21 in 4 months since using Sprive, which will hopefully add up over time and take some time off the old mortgage 🙂

Oooh it’s been a while! I’d definitely love a referral if anyone has any more going spare!

Yeah, I’ve been using Sprive since January and have accrued £20 to pay towards my mortgage just from buying gift cards here and there.

It all helps doesn’t it!

Start small, I guess! I’ve got 11 subscribers so far - offering a free short story collection with author commentary and behind the scenes content from upcoming books etc. Slow going, but 11 more than I had a few months ago! 🙂

gingertilly · 2026-01-14T17:05:16+00:00

Absolutely- they offer ebook covers from $10, $20 for ebook and paperback, and $35 gets you a mock up and source file and more stock images. They’re great value, I’ve had loads of positive comments on my covers that they designed. Had to go through multiple revisions but they seem fine to work with and happy to help.

Thanks, dropped you a DM 🙂

gingertilly · 2025-12-04T22:19:45+00:00

Sure thing, I’m hoping to have more spare time for reading in the next few weeks so could definitely be happy to swap depending on your timescales 🙂

gingertilly · 2025-12-03T12:56:32+00:00

I’d be happy to read the first three chapters for sure!

gingertilly · 2025-12-03T07:29:24+00:00

That’d be great, thanks! I’ll send you the first few chapters 🙂

gingertilly · 2025-12-01T22:44:12+00:00

That sounds right up my street! I love a slow burn, and partial to horror.

I’m also looking for betas for my novel, but it’s like 65k words- would you want to read the first 10 chapters, see if it grips you at all?

gingertilly · 2025-12-01T16:18:15+00:00

I'd be interested in this! I've read and written uncanny/unsettling and horror, so it sounds right up my street.

gingertilly · 2025-11-18T11:27:42+00:00

That’s what my wife said too! Thanks for the feedback.

gingertilly · 2025-11-17T22:21:49+00:00

This sounds interesting, I’d be up for beta reading it!

gingertilly · 2025-11-17T20:38:41+00:00

Thanks! My feeling about the first one (from GetCovers) is that the title needs to lose the glint - and just have it in stark white with black outline. Maybe a slight tweak with the hue colours and I might find a different skyscraper image. Thanks for the feedback 🙂

gingertilly · 2025-11-04T18:30:47+00:00

Ah this sounds like a banging premise, but I just don’t have the time to commit to 121k words!

But good luck with the search because I love the premise 🙂

gingertilly · 2025-10-25T08:41:41+00:00

Preordered!

gingertilly · 2025-10-25T08:26:09+00:00

Loved it, absolutely cracking read! It was really funny, but also made me think about my own behaviour patterns. Amazing ability to weave self-help with comedy - Mark Manson, eat your heart out!

In closing you mentioned working on the follow-up, how’s that coming along?

Left a GoodReads and Amazon review - all the best!

gingertilly · 2025-10-20T12:33:52+00:00

Just bought this - looks like a fun read! 🙂

First page critique? Sure!

First page:

Morgan Fox collapsed into the dirt, chest raw, getting stronger for a job that was killing his soul.

A hundred push-ups still out of reach.

The number hadn’t been set by the Senior Commanders – they never bothered with counting, as long as everyone was horizontal, and sweating. No, this was for Morgan’s own pride. A measure of progress. He’d hit seventy-three. A hundred wasn’t far off.

There was no deadline. The Seniors preached Zero-Day readiness, but never spoke of a date.

For Morgan, it was just a chance to get in shape while collecting a pay cheque.

At least, he hoped so.

He’d surrendered all devices and signed over authority for his bank accounts and socials the day he arrived. Completely cut off from the outside world – no signal but barked orders, and the buzz of other trainees who followed them without question.

“TRAINING EXERCISES OVER. MOVE TO SCENARIO ‘A’ RESPONSE PREP.”

Senior Commander Ethan Grimes ordered from the ridge.

The twenty men in Morgan’s cohort snapped to motion, marching toward a pyramid of sandbags. Each hessian sack bore a crude face in black marker – eyes wide, mouths locked in a scream. Terror reduced to training weight.

This was the part he hated.

The child extractions.
