Sorry, I am being a bit dim today. Will this only work if you buy the specific item at Tesco or should it scan off anything at Tesco? (I am just trying to decide if I need to rush out and buy a few.)
Many thanks

It should scan on anything ... but I have never heard of the mag and may not if Tesco do not stock it! ... If I manage to get out and get one I will let you know ...

LB
This one did not readily scan at Tescon's! ....
However ... as it has a longish date on ... I intend to save mine and try again ... sometimes it is just because the system needs amending ... I'be had coupons scan a week after they were initially rejected!
Hope this Helps ... :^)LittleBill ... "The riches of a man can be measured by what he can do without"0 -
if tesco specific coupon you have to buy the product to get it to scan0
