PayPal so it doesn't appear on my bank statement

This. Worth missing the occasional offer for

How many people use rewards for racing to fully pay for their Cheltenham tickets ?

Top up their points with Tesco shopping online,Ticketmaster etc

Got two club tickets with it this year (hadn't used the points before). I always mean to use the other bits but always forget so it's just through betting accounts

With all the online shopping now it seems like a good way of building up enough points to pay for your tickets

10 points per ?1 spent online at Tesco

Imagine if you had a business you could build up a huge bank of points

lots on there screwfix,Halfords etc

Unlikely to be the case for everyone but you can link 365, Fred, Coral and BF Sportsbook accounts to your R4R account and get points every time you bet.
Could soon build up…

I’ve just recently started doing this aswell, I use my debit card through PayPal as it shows up on bank statements as a PayPal transaction

Can I ask as someone who doesn't use PayPal is this most bookies and does your winnings get paid back into your PayPal account?

Also worth noting that you can use your rewards for racing points for HRI racecourses including Leopardstown and Fairyhouse

Worth knowing though that to link them the betting account & R4R account need to have the same email address registered. I used different ones so get nowt, could’ve had millions of points off them by now!

Yeah this is new, can only have been in the last 6 months or so they introduced this…

I just leave most of my betting bank in paypal

0 transactions then other than the occasional top ups and withdrawals

Every decent bookie allows PayPal as far as I know and yes it goes back into your PayPal where you can leave it or withdraw from PayPal back to your bank which is instant

Wild horses wouldn't keep me from the Festival. I love the DRF and the Punchestown Festival, and I attend both intermittently, but my priority is still Cheltenham.

Yes it's expensive, and they take money every way they possibly can, but what won the Irish Gold Cup and the Punchestown Gold Cup in 2021? You might scratch your head and remember, but you don't have to think about what won the Gold Cup at Cheltenham the last two seasons, or most seasons in living memory for that matter, even the poorer renewals.

Kemboy and Clan des Obeaux is the answer to each by the way, and it was only a year ago, both fine Grade 1 horses, but not Gold Cup horses, and not so easily remembered.

The racing comes first for me, and the experience afterwards, and not the other way round. I can't imagine talking to my grandchildren saying I was there the day Clan des Obeaux won the Punchestown Gold Cup.

Cheltenham can and should do some things better, and it's up to us to say what we think about the experience by making our complaints. I'll be raising concerns about increased pricing, queues, stewarding, service, prizemoney, 5 days, etc, etc, and I'd encourage as many as people as possible to do so. But whatever the outcome I'll still be there. And as Istabraq says, I'll still be like a child at Christmas whatever they do or don't do.

Absolutely agree with that word for word. You’re spot on.

There’s only one Cheltenham.

Would love to see Nicholls face when he sees Willie enter a load for the final day at Sandown if it’s close
