Hello.I'm new to this site so please be gentle.
How can you tell which NSS, starting with 99... non Tesco own, coupons are ok to use at Tesco.
It appears that they will ALL scan, but some Tesco can't get money back on, like books and some newspaper ones...is there a master list somewhere (other than the first page?)

I knew Dundee wouldn't know their own policy, lol. They aren't Head Office, they don't make the decisions or issue the emails so they get missed out of the loop. They are just a call centre and I bet less than half the staff there would give you the right answer.

This problem happened in the Summer as well, when many stores wrongly denied people wanting to use the Morrisons voucher from the Sun. Lo and behold, about 3 weeks later many stores were issued with a carpark banner that said (too late) 'we accept Morrisons Spend & Save vouchers'. Grrrrrr!

If the email comes back with the wrong answer as well, then why not phone up again and ask the same question (it's such a big call centre you'll get a different staff member).

If you get told no again it's wrong, don't accept it! Be polite but confident and say 'I am sure that's not the case, my friend told me an email has gone out to the stores mentioning conditional spend vouchers and Waitrose is one of the stores listed. It's not a new policy either, you've been taking these for years and it's not just Sainsburys ones. Can you check please as my store is unaware and I thought you'd be the people to help me?' If they say they haven't seen the email that's not good enough, they need to refer up the line about it until they find someone who knows that it's a national policy with no store discretion.

The email came from whoever issues CSM Updates which I suspect orginates from Cheshunt (but you can't ring Cheshunt). LilacLillie, why not ask the person in Dundee do some groundwork for you to find it, they are meant to be Customer Service after all and it's embarrassing for Tesco that Dundee staff almost never know the coupon policy.

The other alternative is to go back to your store and allow yourself a good 45 minutes of calm discussion and hanging around at the CS desk to refer your query up...and up...until they find someone who has actually read the coupon policy. Most stores have some staff who know and some who don't but you only need to find one person in the know or one who can be bothered to look at last week's email.

Tesco Llansamlet (Swansea) refused to take coupons printed from this site as "People have been abusing Tesco's trust by copying them". I explained they were originals and have unique barcodes but they refused to use them on Limbos and Andrex even though I was buying the products.

hi DD,

Sorry, I hadn't realised that

PM me if you still want the voucher - I've saved a screenshot of the voucher to email to you. it's not your fault that your puter is playing up - sometimes I have the same problem and have to change browser.

That's a sweet offer - I am going to give it another go with a different browser, and then if it doesn't work, I'll PM you, thanks :beer:

TDD xx
