Hi Annie, yes I ordered mine to beat the price increase too.
I went a bit mad and ordered more than I would have normally!
I told hubby that I'm saving money by ordering them now. LOL

I have several common names to get certs for, and have put another thread up,about it costing a fortune.

Like Marilyn, I've also ordered 7! It's a lot of money isnt it for 7!
I've recently had a birthday and the money I got was used for the certificates. Think it will be some time before I order any more.
