This is a non standard barcode, i.e. it does NOT start with '99'
Complete barcode is 32750904, to see the value of normal barcodes you take the last 4 digits, in this case 0904, discard the last number (4 in this barcode) and the remaining 3 digits give the value in pence (in this case it would give a value of 90p if this was a standard barcode).
This will almost certainly NOT scan at Tescos, it only is of any use to get £5 off a £10 or more book at WH Smiths as stated in my original post.
Expiry date is 3/06/07Don't take life too seriously, no one gets out alive0 -
No MOCs in The Express...
Daily Mail WHSmith offer is £5 off £10 or more on any book...one book only...valid from now until June 3rd 2007, one voucher per transaction, not in conjunction with any other offer.
in answer to tesco question - no it would not scan in tesco...barcode is 3275 0904:heart2::heartpuls:heart2: I WOULD NOT CHANGE MY AUTISTIC DAUGHTER FOR THE WORLD
