    Unfortunately not...

    Only Tesco offer this decent coupon policy.... surely if it caused them too much trouble and they didn't earn a lot of money from it, they wouldn't offer it and would have stopped it like Asda did.

    Well perhaps it's fine but certain people push it so they take action?
  • Yeah, but I have never been one to take the !!!!.

    Fair enough, if some people had in store, but the way they treated me, was really harsh, and seemed to blame all their coupon issues on me.

    I suppose I'll just have to leave it like that, seeing as they really have as much power as they like.

    Thanks for discussing it though!

    Apparently it doesn't now according to Crooker so you're obviously better off being banned.
    Customers who try and pay with everything with coupons get to me. I even had one cry when she forgot to give a coupon and I couldn't accept it

    LOL how sad
    Using the vouchers, every week, for example 10% off, would save a massive amount each year, and makes a difference.

    Every little helps?
    Coupon abuse isn't cool. You damage the coupon system for everyone else
    It makes quite a bit of a difference, when you have a low income, and do your weekly shop there as well.
    My partner probs has a lower income than you and shopping in tesco for her was a luxury

    Hey,


    I have been in recently, and nearly the whole store is aware of that I am banned.... so clearly the manager or that team leader has briefed everyone :confused:

    other members of staff need to be aware of who is banned so if the banned person were to enter the store they would be removed by staff

    My last question for you:

    What do you define as good coupon use then? As all I have seen is you typing coupon abuse.

    Would be interesting to see your views on what you think is fair.

    :confused:

    I've got nothing to hide. I'm more than happy to get a clubcard and swipe it when I do my weekly shop, but I thought as I'm already getting benefit from the money saving, I wouldn't also take the clubcard points.

    I'm not too sure how it works either, I've got a Nectar card, and I know how that one works.

    But, you didnt answer my question above.

    Oh I didn't see it, My appologises :)

    Basically coupon abuse is when you pay for the majority of your shopping on this occassion you used coupons for 60% of payment which does mean coupon abuse

    You keep using the same coupons week in week out, the management decided this was abusing the system again "Coupon abuse"

    Fair system in my opinion use the coupons for products bought only and accept the supermarket issued coupons such as clubcard etc

    Oh and clubcard

    Basically same as the nectar card but 1point = £1 www.tesco.com/clubcard will give you the low down :)
