cissolt Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Feels like a half million pound attempt by government to buy favour with gefs newsoutlet while providing no tangible benefit to anyone else involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cissolt Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 500,000 divided by the population? Less than a £5 per person if they just handed the cash straight out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringy Rose Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 £500,000 for Gef to reinvent the wheel and make it worse, £0.00 for retailers and consumers to get a tangible benefit from the card. That's the DFE way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you mean the data protection bit of the site? Who really is Gef. According to JW Carol Quine shared her resignation statement about the dog business with “Gef” . See separate thread.

Peter Layman Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 It’s a pile of shit dreamt up by some fuckwit with nothing constructive to do. Load the card up, take to any business that is daft enough to sign up to this and get up to 25% off what you buy. The business that is currently struggling suffers a 25% loss up until the government reimburse you. Small businesses want help not hindered everything. Just a thought, how about the government take on board the PWC report 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 Just to further confuse…someone whom I have been chatting to tonight claims there is a lottery element in it some cards may have a small discount on them whilst a few, probably a very few have a large discount at £100 perhaps these cards will appeal to the gambling fraternity.

Mark Lewin (CEO @ DFE) almost certainly worked with one of Gef founders as part of Sefton Group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
