in Credit cards
Just checking my latest credit card statement. I have entries for 'Tesco Stores Sacat' and 'Sacat Marks and Spencers' that I have not seen before - these sacat transactions are additional to transactions in the usual Tesco/M&S format. Can anyone tell me what Sacat stands for or signifies - and why it has been introduced?

A quick search on Google brings up that it may be using the self checkout at Tesco's or M&S.Regards, Robin.2011 MFW # 34

Self serve checkouts - I use my cards in my local Somerfield which has the self-serve checkout and it always appears in my statement with the name of the store.0 -
Gosh, I was just wondering that today! M&S self service check out. The answer is always on MSE!0

Interesting point to add to this thread is that, if you've got a card like Abbey 5% supermarket cashback or Barclaycard 2% supermarket cashback if you use the selfscan tills in M&S you get the extra cashback whereas if you use the normal tills you don't. Not that any proper MSE would buy food in M&S anyway, but I work next to M&S simply food and temptation sometimes gets the better of me!0

These SACAT things seem to have very small amounts next to them...does anyone know if these are additional charges?0

It means scanning, when you used the self scan tills at those particular stores. Thats what you spent through the till, no additional charge. Keep a spending record and you will be able to check.0

SACAT stands for Semi-Attended Customer Activated Terminal - it's the self service checkout.0
