    Spotted another 'cheesy' one today. Exactly the same sticker design as the Coeur de Lion Pie d'Angloys one I mentioned above, so maybe more TMF offers will appear on other cheeses in the range too. Worth keeping an eye out! This one's on Creme de Saint Agur, in a small hexagonal plastic pot. Found mine in Morrisons. Usual 15+ word statement required (good or bad), sticker, SAE and receipt to MKM within 14 days of purchase. Final c/d 06.01.06. Max refund £1.49. Although the sticker appears identical, it's definitely a separate offer as the refund value and first line of the address are different.

    Arghhh! Bought Flora Pro-Activ milk, kept the receipt but threw away the carton with voucher attached. Does anyone know do I need the voucher? If not has anyone got address and instructions?

    Also has anyone had their refund yet for Finish Powerboost - bloomin' expensive it was so I am hoping my cheque hasn't got lost in the post!

    Haven't found the Ken Hom noodles yet - been looking for ages and they're about the only TMF on these pages I haven't had (except the Kaliber lager - I couldn't see the point :beer: )

    I'm afraid you do need the sticker - you have to fill in the tiny form on it. :rolleyes:

    Maybe you could find a carton in a store and discreetly peel the sticker off? :o (Can't see the harm in doing that - if a seasoned TMFer was looking for one, they would make sure they've got one with a sticker attached...)

    I received my St Agur refund today, along with a customer survey from MKM. I don't know if everyone will be getting one, or whether I was randomly selected... although the cynic in me wonders why my application "just happened" to be turned around in only 5 days when they're asking about speed, satisfaction etc. :rolleyes: .

    Some rather humourous questions - how clear / complicated were the instructions, how inclined would I be to reapply if my first application was rejected for some reason, how 'onerous' I found having to write the 15 word statement etc. Trouble is, you just KNOW that this is a 'survey in reverse', and that they'll only be really satisfied if they get lots of "very difficult to understand, and far too complicated to bother applying" answers :p .

    I'll be replying in the comments box along the lines of "it's a shame that you deliberately build in so many hurdles to actively discourage people from applying for your offers" . Perhaps if we all did the same, they might take notice. Then again, they'll probably consider it a badge of honour :( .

    r u sure they're not trying to catch out multiple applicants in some way?
    Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.
  • Smid very interesting comments,MKM are supposed to be dealing with the tesco tmf fish offer. They have taken a lifetime and still no reply!!! And they will do anything to try to get out of paying the money back you are owed, so yes I agree from this company a 5 day turn around is a joke and they are obviously trying to get some good feedback from somewhere!!!!!!!11

    Absolutely agree! It's only because we took the trouble to get the money back that made it a genuine offer!

    In my experience, President grated emmental seemed to be the quickest to come back.

    But...keep trying!

    Beware - the toothpaste (sorry can't remember brand - too late in the day.. :-( )3 weeks whiter teeth or your money back. Well I sent off for it at both my address and parents. I got one refunded and the other one they said I could not get my money back as I had obviously claimed at the other address they said my handwriting and name were the same etc.

    Miserable sods. I did actually buy it for my sister and gave her the toothpaste. It is expensive and honestly did not work fo me!
