Tesco's Officially Stopped Coupons????

phague

The stores that we use still take coupons, but 2 of them are bang next door to a Sainsbury's, which must help.

We use Abbeydale, Sheffield and also Chesterfield. We also use Clowne, and they also still took coupons this week. Been to Chesterfield today, and they took my coupons as well, but I did spend £75 there.

Be very careful!

I have been banned from one store for using too many coupons.

I've written to head office who told me to write to the store.

I wrote to the store who wrote back saying that I "am not welcome" in their store.

I was VERY upset at the time but I'm okay now. I do still go to Tescos (different stores) as I'm saving my clubcard points for a holiday and I now use coupons up to about 10% of the shop. I DO NOT want to draw attention to myself again!

Cripes!

How did the twig you were using too many?

What did they do and say to ban you?

Tesco at Bursledon don not take any vouchers unless you buy the product. This has been their policy for over a year now. Tesco at Eastleigh and Winchester DO take coupons if you don't buy the products so now I will go there!!! It seems very silly not to have a countrywide policy.

My expereince at ASDA is that they have now stopped taking coupons unless you buy the product AND they have stopped the price matching.

I was in Tesco's Wokingham last night and they normally take vouchers without any questions but they rang for the Manager and he advised that this store doesn't take them anymore :mad:

My tesco's is still taking coupons, but I am being far cautious and sticking to 10%. I don't want them to stop taking coupons, which I doubt they will, because its profitable, but if they get pushed enough by the manufacturers they may have no choice.

I was using a self scan checkouts but one day a manager approached me and said I could only use one coupon if I wasnt buying the item. I told her that I had never been told this before and that different cashiers said different things. She said that no, Tesco policy was one coupon "total" if the item wasnt purchased.

I came home and emailed Tesco. The email I got back was basically one coupon "per manufacturer" if the item was not bought.

After that, each time I went back, I want to checkouts with cashiers (rather than the self scan) and each time, I asked would they take coupons. Each time, I got different responses but, in the main, they just scanned them.

Then, one day, about a month after(i think), the manager who had approached me before, came along with a security manager in tow while I was at the checkout. The cashier had scanned my goods, I'd asked if I could use coupons, that I'd bought some but mainly I hadnt. The cashier told me that I could use coupons "one per manufacturer" and that it was okay as long as I didnt have more than one of the same. The cashier was scanning my coupons when the manager asked her what she was doing. The cashier responded "scanning coupons", the cs manager told her that policy was "one coupon - total", the checkout lady said no, one per manufacturer. The manager said, no - one coupon total! They were disagreeing what their own policy was! I tried to explain that I had emailed HO but she wasnt listening. She then said that I had to go to the office.
I went... only to be told that because I had been warned previously about only using one coupon, I was now banned from ever returning.
If I did return, they would phone the police. I tried to explain that I had emailed HO and they had said one per manufacturer and they didnt care as I hadnt done what that store had told me. What I should have done after getting the reply was check with the store first.
Even when I pointed out that the checkout lady who had just served me quoted HO policy, they still didnt listen.
I've complained to HO who have said that I had to contact the store. I've written to the store who have written back saying that "I continue to be no longer welcome at the store".

When I got out to the car discovered there was no 5p off a litre of fuel phoned them on my mobile to be told that this promotion had finished and that they only accept coupons on stuff bought.........
