Tesco no longer accepts manufacturers coupons.

Went to local Tescos superstore and was told they accept only 1 internet coupon only, AND only if you have bought the item stated on the coupon. She said you can also use 2 'magazine vouchers' (not internet) but, again, only if you buy the item stated on coupon.
Absolutely rubbish. Put me off Tescos as my weekly shop is always £100+.
I'm definitely going to ASDA to try next time.
Just wondered if anyone who has come across a 'good' tescos (which takes internet coupons for items not stated on coupon) would state which tescos it is ?

Im only guilty,as far as i know, of using the DM moc which apparently my tesco store doesnt stock....the rest (mentioned above) I have never done so my conscience isnt so bad as others!!wat do u think?I am going after work today and hope my wad will be accepted!!
meant to quote someone but i messed it up.....was referring to the bit about people abusing the coupon policy.... i agree!!

they dont always accept them tho thats the problem!! there should be one clear policy for all tesco stores, either they will accept all coupons as long as they stock the item or they wont,. many people say they do but thats not the case. One day differs from the next.

Can't see where anyone has said the coupons don't work, they do. You don't have to buy the product for a manufacturers' coupon to scan.

As has already been explained by others, Tesco (also Waitrose and Asda) have good business reasons for accepting coupons the way they do.

The only thing we moan about is some stores where they don't know their own policy, and we do know it. Very frustrating.

I know, it's really annoying! My nearest Tesco is still so hit-and-miss that I usually avoid it, particularly when I have no time for the possible 'long march' to the CS desk to have them argue among themselves about whether coupons are OK or not - AGAIN!

It's particularly annoying as ALL STORES were sent the policy in June 2007, in a CSM Daily update. Those that read it (or got nagged by customers to read it!:cool: ) implemented the policy. Luckily I know of 2 such stores & usually go there instead.

Those that didn't read it or didn't want to know, deny all knowledge of such a policy even when faced with the info on when/how the policy was confirmed and even the exact wording. They then say 'oh but that was last year, it may have changed since then'.

It hasn't.

Finally you then have the 'lottery' of phoning Dundee Call Centre (it's NOT their Head Office, BTW, although stores think it is) - only to get one of the many advisors who haven't a clue what you are talking about...:mad:

I used to go to a particular store all the time until suddenly about a year ago the SA refused all my coupons because I hadn't purchased the items - said their policy had changed. I've been using another store, where they take anything. Was in the area of the first store yesterday and needed a few things; naturally tried some coupons - the SA took them quite happily, didn't even bother looking at them, just scanned them. There may or may not be a new nationwide policy coming up, we'll just have to wait and see, but meanwhile I stick to my theory that they periodically have a clampdown in certain stores, then a while later things seem to get relaxed again.
