    Tesco's have blocked the DM £4 coupon. (Or, if they haven't, we shouldn't be using it as they can't get their money back.)
  • DM book tokens ALL blocked at Mr T's here in Cornwall - tried 4 stores and none would scan or input manually. Oh well, good run!

    Mardrew is right, if you read the coupon (just viewed it online) it clearly says "This token is redeemable at bookselling chains and most independent bookshops in the UK". It also says you should check your bookshop is participating. Suggest (a) Tescos is not classified as a bookselling chain and (b) even if they are they are not participating.

    Yes, (and i was guilty in the early days), but everyone who has been using these in Tescos has helped to slowly drive the nails into the coffin of, and hastened the end of, couponing...
    Couponing....."every little hurts"

    Half of the people can be part right all of the time, Some of the people can be all right part of the time.
    But all the people can't be all right all the time. .........I think Abraham Lincoln said that.
