asda and money off vouchers

Joto_2 · 29 September 2005 at 2:13PM

I had £10 worth of vouchers taken off an £18 shop today and yesterday £10 off a £45 shop. It all seems to depend on the store/cashier etc.

I also noticed today that Asda have a xmas saving card which pays out an extra £1, £3 or £6 depending whether you have saved £49,£99 or £149. As far as I could see provided you put this on the card anytime before (date to be confirmed) you will ' make' some money. In theory you could put it on the week before and save. If you shopat Asda anyway you will easily spend these amounts at xmas. Could be a nice little earner.

Hi everyone, the asda I tried to use my coupons in was an Aberdeen one, the man at the checkout showed me the sticker he had on his till, saying he had to call customer services before taking any coupons if the customer was not buying the product............

I had the same problem with Asda they wouldnt take my £5 Walls voucher as I never had any Walls products in my trolley.

I think this is probably just certain stores that are cracking down on vouchers.

The asda in Grimsby has just had a new tesco opened not far away from it and is constantly putting banners up and advertising in local telegraph that they take tesco and sainsbury's vouchers.

Something to do with the competition I guess?

I suppose it could be competition related. Our Asda both opened a year ago and the main one took vouchers perfectly ok, there are three Tescos and a a Sainsburys and a Morrisons in the same town. But now Asda are presumably established, they have stopped taking them. But as you have the annoyance of getting a parking ticket and then remembering to get it refunded they may find we all go to Tesco where you dont bother, or Sainsburys where you are handy for the town centre!

It does seem to vary from store to store and even checkout operator to checkout operator, even day to day with the same C/O's.

This week I have found Tesco much less fussy about coupons and they seem to take just about anything that scans. Again this prob varies from store to store though.

i think it has alot ot do with competition. everyone in my town loves tesco its become and grown into a big monster and wont accept coupons however asda will accept them perhaps because they are trying to win customers back?

Went into my local Walmart yesterday. I have had different experiences each time I hand over coupons. Depends who serves you.

One assistant would only allow me 10% worth of coupons against my bill. Yesterday another one accepted all of the coupons I gave her.

Dont know what their problem is as they still get to claim the money back from the manufacturers or have I got it wrong!!!!!
